yesterday I got more forensic anthropology notes & labs done :)

wasnt super productive today academically wise but that’s okay :-) I was able to go grocery shopping & pick up packages bc it was finally sunny out (still cold).

tomorrow I don’t have one com class bc we are supposed to watch willy wonka which is great bc that’s my 9am, and my sports in us history class is reading hevey so we only meet for lecture on tues so tomorrow I only have public speaking and I can spend time going through material & taking notes

But once you have a base in the language, they help you improve so much. I highly recommend buying any Berlitz or Barron language books. I love the 50 Ways To Improve Your books. They are the best grammar/vocab/correction language books ever. I use the Spanish one to help teach myself Spanish, and I absolutely love it. And it isn’t very expensive either!

crimes of grindelwald characters as the office characters sayings

newt: i knew exactly what to do. but in a much more real sense, i had no idea what to do.

tina: just pretend like we’re talking until the cops leave.

queenie: i talk a lot, so i’ve learned to just tune myself out.

jacob: everybody stay calm! stay fucking calm!

theseus: an office is a place where dreams come true.

leta: would i rather be feared or loved? easy. both. i want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

dumbledore: i am running away from my responsibilities and it feels so good.

nicholas flamel: i am not superstitious but i’m a little stitious.

credence: i understand nothing.

nagini: people underestimate the power of nostalgia. nostalgia is truly one of the greatest human weaknesses. second only to the neck.

~bonus~

newt: society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. well that’s baloney, because grief isn’t wrong. there’s such a thing as good grief. just ask charlie brown.

theseus: sometimes i feel like everyone i work with is an idiot. and by sometimes, i mean all times. all the time. every of the time.

if you saw that i posted this last night and then deleted it, mind ya business. no just kidding LMAOOO i meant to post it to my drafts but accidentally posted it. 😔
