vent post ig
i just feel so fucking hopeless like all the time i wish i had friends to do things with but i have like 5 people max and that’s pushing it, two girls i see all the time during the week but they both go home every single weekend, one girl who’s fun to hang out with but is always busy with work and school, her roommate i don’t even know that well and have never hung out with one on one, and one guy who’s chill and really sweet but he’s got a girlfriend and way more of a social life than me so he’s also always busy with his friends and the only time i’ve done something with him outside of taking the train to/from classes was an evening mass since we’re both catholic. my roommate usually goes home every weekend so at least i can cry alone in peace or just eat every meal here while watching movies by myself but she’s here this weekend and i feel so awkward not leaving the room on a friday night except to go to dinner by myself while she’s having fun with her friends. at least i’m working 16 hours this weekend so i can be somewhere else for most of the next two days
on top of this i just checked and i have at least two visible cavities and i know it’s not my fault since i’m genetically susceptible to enamel weakness or whatever the fuck but it makes me feel like literally nothing i do matters since i’m so focused on making sure my teeth are clean because of my terrible dental history and i have a wisdom tooth growing in that i’m definitely going to need to get removed and i’ve never gone under anesthesia before and i’m scared i’m going to like out myself to my parents or something which would be so fucking unsafe for me. idk

#I feel like I’m starting this quarter off strong#got super organized + was proactive about making a meeting with my advisor to see how I can catch up#and have been good about substances which like I haven’t bad about for a little while but I like to monitor#I’ve been proactive with making meetings and organizing my calendar / making a routine#plus bought a daily planner so I can map out my weeks and check in each morning briefly#it almost feels repetitive given my virtual task list BUT with this specifically I can visually see my free time#and after my schedule settles down week 2 I can use that to set aside daily skill development time#I get too hyper fixated on something and then it falls apart#so I think I’m gonna devote one to two hours each day to a different activity#make up / painting / writing / coding / guitar#one activity for each weekday#and then weekends are a free for all#ALSO#I was reading up on my postdoc opportunity in Germany and it got me REALLY REALLY MOTIVATED#to the point I ended up scouting 2022’s top deutsch pop and found a bunch of songs I love#so now I have a new German playlist to get me in the zone#I’ve been taking daily pimsleur lessons and the new Duolingo revamp has been highly motivating too#and like 10x more educational#the goal is for me to get through 30 lessons of pimsleur by the end of the quarter which means like one lesson every 2-3 days#idk I just am reaching a point where it’s time to begin living life and growing#I may not be who I want yet but this skill development is part of putting in the work#and along with weight loss is going to make me such a better more well rounded person#I’m feeling REALLY motivated about all this!!! AND talked to my doc and we made a lil med adjustment to help with focus#so I’m feeling like the sky’s the limit#add that to my new daily skincare routine and I’m feeling really well put together#I think this quarter’s gonna end up being amazing. 2023 is 100% gonna be my year

60 Days Challenge ༉‧₊˚
This is like my own version of the 75 Day Hard Challenge. For the next two months, I will follow these daily rules:
Follow a meal plan.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water.
Exercise daily.
Read 10 pages of any book.
Follow a morning and night routine.
Less than 3 hrs of screen time.
Keep track everyday.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Meal Plan:
I will add vegetables or fruits at each meal and fast 16:8 three times a week. I will focus on eating in moderation and adding healthy foods rather than restricting some type of food.
2. Hydration:
In addition to water, I will have two cups of tea (one in the morning and one at night). I won't drink anything else.
3. Exercise:
I will do some form of exercise every day, for at least 30 minutes, and I will stretch for at least 10 minutes. The main goal is to move !!! so I will do whatever suits my day the most.
4. Reading:
I love reading ! The minimum is 10 pages, but I'll try to read as much as possible. This will also be a way of not spending too much time on the phone.
5. Daily routines:
I want to start and end the day the right way. I created my routines based on what was best for me and my schedule. For example, my morning routine is short and simple because I don't have a lot of time, and my night routine is focused on relaxing because otherwise I have a hard time sleeping.
6. Less than 3 hrs of screentime:
This doesn't include time in screens for school. My goal here is to limit the time I spend on social media and spend that time on other activities instead. I will probably only use that time for my duolingo lessons, watch a movie or post on tumblr, and I will set a timer everytime I use a screen.
7. Keep a record:
I will keep a record here of how I feel every day during this challenge. The goal with this is to realize what works and what doesn't, in order to improve. I also think it's easier for me to stay on track if I write it down somewhere.

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.
if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).
mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.
if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.
busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).
so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)

...and that's enough.
I've finished all new Chinese content and have been doing reviews only for a while now. It feels like I'm seeing the same five sentences over and over.
But some changes they made a few months ago (the daily quests and the double xp reward for doing lessons in the morning and in the afternoon) had been very effective in making me log in more (and watch more adds). And wasting time, really.
After so much dedication, I wanted to feel like I'd accomplished something before stopping. I wanted to finish the "champion" level, but that would take at least another week of "what is today's meeting mainly about?".
800 days seems like a nice round number to stop at.
I had already made this decision, but with the recent news of Duolingo's massive translators layoff, I'm glad to be quitting it now.
I hope to replace the habit of doing Duolingo in th evening with reviews on SuperChinese or some Tofu Learn practice.
