Progress Report Week 25
Oh broken feathers!  I lost an entire day to migraine, a bad one.  I thought I was over this crap already.  I was bedridden for most of the day, couldn't do anything but lie there in the dark and quiet and wish I were dead.  Fortunately, Rose came by when I failed to show up at Sugarcube Corner, and helped out with Muffins.

Made up for my earlier loss of productivity by discovering I have developed the ability to concentrate on multiple avenues of thought simultaneously.  A welcome boon for my research, as I can now combine my linguistic and literary endeavours.  Thinking back, I'm certain I have already been doing this to a small degree, at least on an unconscious level, for a few weeks or more; which would explain my phenomenally accelerated learning.  Now that I have some conscious control over it, the additional focus should enable me to cross-reference my studies in real time, and enhance overall retention and recall.  I'm going to have to find out more about Twilight's intelligence enhancement spell and see if there isn't some way to make it more readily available to everypony.  Imagine a world where everypony had this ability, the heights to which we might all aspire, it's awe-inspiring.

███ ██████.  Another migraine, not as bad as the previous one, fortunately.  Twilight hypothesizes that it may be triggered by my multi-threaded mental processes over-taxing my cortex.  I can't say that hadn't occurred to me as well.  I'll try a more subdued application of the ability, and run some tests to attempt to determine its practical limits.  With good fortune, I will find a way to employ the ability without risking further migrainous episodes.

Broken Arrow's treatise on Terran language and culture arrived, along with the other books from the Crystal Empire capital's library.  This is going to be fun!
