Been a while, but I guess I’m back!

Somehow by the grace of literal Gods I have managed to finish all my courses, and only have one thing left to do - my master thesis. 

Gotta love going to coffee shops and pretending to study (in reality just spacing out while drinking my favorite coffee in the city), and that's mostly due to being physically and mentally very tired, and only having motivation to WANT to be able to study, not actually doing it.

I feel like I'm running on half a brain cell and caffeine :D

Even this post is a mess haha

2+ Months of Language Learning Prompts!

Sometimes it can be tricky to know what to learn if you are teaching yourself a language. Here are some ideas for what you can focus on learning each day for the first two months of learning a new language! I formatted it so there is the general topic for the day and then in parentheses are some ideas to get you started but you can definitely learn a lot more than what I’ve written down! These are just to help generate some ideas!

This definitely would move pretty quickly if you covered all this material in 2 months so you could definitely spend more time on each topic if you need! This would require quite a bit of time each day in order to learn it all. This could totally work for a 4 or 6-month challenge where you spend 2 or 3 days on each of the topics I listed if you don’t have enough time to cover each topic in just one day!

been in bed for weeks, mostly watching tv shows and trying to find motivation to do literally anything. especially with a massively fucked up sleep schedule where my day starts at 5 pm and ends at 6 am

hopefully going to a cafe helps me find that motivation to finish this damn semester

pray for me

7.24 studying on vacation sucks but so does falling behind and getting stressed because you’re falling behind

(what you don’t see: the page of astronomy notes I spilled water on and am now redoing)
