4/30 days of french / jours de français

Please correct any errors you catch! wrote this one while tired so there might be a bunch of errors sprinkled throughout

Salut! Je ne peux pas croire que c'est le 4ème jour de mes écrits français! Aujourd’hui était un jour tranquille. Je suis très fatiguée parce que j'ai à peine dormi la nuit dernière. Ce soir, j’irai me coucher très tôt parce que j’ai beaucoup à faire demain. J’ai voulu aller à la plage demain, mais le temps sera mauvais donc je resterai chez moi. Je dois faire mes tâches ménagères et lire beaucoup de documents pour mes cours. Je voudrais faire une longue marche s’il ne fait trop mauvais demain. Plus tôt aujourd’hui, j’ai fini la deuxième saison de « Never Have I Ever » et j’ai beaucoup aimé ça! Plus tard, je reverrai le premier épisode de « Outer Banks » puisque la deuxième saison sort dans 2 jours et j’ai oublié la plupart. J’ai besoin de pratiquer des conjugations moins courantes comme plus-que-parfait donc je n’oublie pas mais je ne sais pas comment l'intégrer dans ces écrits. J'essaierai peut-être demain. Merci d'avoir lu!

Hello! I cannot believe it is the 4th days of my French writing! Today was a calm day. I am very tired because I barely slept last night. Tonight, I'm going to sleep very early because I have a lot to do tomorrow. I wanted to go to the beach tomorrow, but the weather is going to be bad so I will stay at home. I have to do my household tasks and read a lot of documents/paperwork for my classes. I want to take a long walk if it isn't too bad out tomorrow. Earlier today, I finished the second season of "Never Have I Ever" and I liked it a lot! Later, I am going to rewatch the first episode of "Outer Banks" because the second season comes out in 2 days and I forgot most of it. I need to practice less common conjugations like plus-que-parfait so I don't forget but I don't know hoe to integrate it in these writings. Maybe I will try tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

It’s been a hot hot minute since I posted. It’s been rough lately, but I’m slowly getting back up. I did yoga earlier, and I finally took a nap so I feel brand new. I’m currently writing my article about self love and I guess the timing is impeccable haha. I saw Jess earlier as well, and it was so nice. Ugh.

Here’s to improving and getting back up!! If you’re feeling stuck like I am, just believe!! You can do it. Take it day by day.

college how to : securing rec letters

uh basically what i did to get recommendation letters secured for grad school + study abroad? this is like for ....anxious people lol? i researched for HOURS on how to actually go about getting recommendation letters....but there weren’t too many tips for the actual process, just ‘oh! get recs from professors who love you’ haha...

Before you even think of asking...

Do your research: Thinking about graduate school? scholarships? studying abroad? Fulbright? anything that you have to apply to, you’re going to be asked for recommendation letters. this most definitely did NOT occur to me, so I probably added more stress to my plate than I needed to. But yeah....you can’t just get in on your own merit for most things. You need people to vouch for you in the form of rec letters, and most times your applications won’t even be considered without them. PLUS when you DO ask for a recommendation letter, you want to show that you have done some research into whatever you are applying for, and share some of that information with your potential recommender.

Prepare statements of purpose and academic CVs: In order for your recommender to write a letter, they need some background on, well, you! Even if you talk to them often, it’s still nice to have your specific ideas and goals about the program ready and laid out. Plus, they may not know of all your academically-related accomplishments, so detail them in that CV! It’s basically a resume in a different format, but if you get it done early, your recommender may even go over it and send you back suggestions.

Who to ask....

Quality of your recommender: Honestly, you can’t just get any old recommendation letter and hope that’ll fly. Oftentimes when recommendation letters are provided as a side thing (at least for college), they can be pretty basic and impersonal. It’s best to get a letter from someone who has had 1-1 conversations with you where you shared about who you are, not necessarily just what you do. That can add a lot to your letter.

So many options....: It’s actually really okay to ask if your potential recommender feels they can write a strong, POSITIVE letter for you. You don’t want a petty supervisor (or someone with which you butted heads or got a less than stellar grade in their class) writing your letter. If they can’t immediately say yes, then they won’t be golden. Once you weed out the so-so choices, you can focus on the strong candidates.

HOW to ask...

Building rapport: it comes to a point where you really do have to put yourself out there if you want your professor to remember your face. I've gone to events and seen professors (future, former, or current) present, and had little small talk convos just to say ‘hey! I'm your student!’. just walking around campus I might run into one, so that’s always a good time to ask questions about things in general (I would save assignment related questions for office hours!). I always email my bilingual professor every week because he doesn’t post the assignment slots ahead of time, and let him know ‘hey! I've finished my assignment and want to submit’! Not only is that helping him keep things running, but he’s realizing ‘wow...she’s always finishing her assignments early’. bonus points! I usually spend half an hour in office hour sessions, talking about school, asking questions about their research, going off on tangents ...it’s okay to treat your professor as a mentor, they want to see you succeed, so show that you are putting that effort in! It’s also a good chance to practice your language skills with your language professors...

Schedule a talk ahead of time: When you actually ask for rec letters... do NOT just drop in! Show a level of professionalism by emailing your professors ahead of time and asking if you can speak with them regarding grad school/study abroad program, and ask them a question. :-] That’s what I did anyway lol! I didn’t ask for my rec letter officially over email, but face to face.

Set them up: Discuss the program(s) you are interested in, and give them enough detail so that they have a general idea of what you want to get them involved in. Don’t just sit down and ask ‘Can you write me a rec letter?’ but show that you are prepared! If you need to, provide them with pamphlets now.

Just ask!: Okay, now you can literally ‘just ask!’ When I had to ask for rec letters from one of my professors, my CURRENT professor was in his office just chatting with him! That was a bit nerve-wracking, but I just spit out my request before my anxiety took over (I totally wanted to run out of the office). It didn’t really matter that we had an ‘audience’, as he accepted with no problem!

What to do after...

APPLY!: Now that you've asked, you have to follow through! Start working on your application if you haven’t done so already, keep researching the process, and keep your recommenders up to date with deadlines, reminders, and additional information you discover. For me, I have to keep my professors up to date with my writing samples, statements of purpose, application process, and deadlines for my study abroad program. Whatever I need to know, they need to know!

um, I hope this is helpful! I can’t really cover the ‘okay I’ve applied and they’ve sent their letters in’ parts because...that hasn’t happened yet! I only asked two weeks ago, but I’ll definitely add onto this post once I can talk about the end results. :-]

I managed to snag one of the library study rooms this morning! I’m going to be revising papers for a while, and then hopefully I’ll be able to talk to my sociology professor during office hours. A productive day.
