I feel like I didn't really have a weekend but at least I got a lot of things done and also spent some time outside. The weather was wonderful, it really felt like spring... Finished writing my last paper, now it's only editing, prepared my classes, wrote a report,... And fell asleep sitting on the Hollywood swing in my garden.

i’m finally posting after a long while. many things happened while i was gone. i am still working and teaching at the same place :] however the upcoming exam that i was to take to become an official/public teacher in public schools was making me nervous. i found it hard to balance work and studying and there was and are other things i want to do, such as taking a course and learning german. anyways, last week i got a new job offer and went to the interview, not because i thought i’d quit my current job, but i wanted to see what they’d tell and their conditions. they wanted me to go to the interview despite knowing i’m currently employed. after the interview, i agreed that i’d help them and teach at their school if they needed me. when i got home though, i felt nervous because if i was needed to start there immediately, it’d be a very big workload for me. i talked to some of my friends and mom, i was like what if i can’t study enough because of work but i also need to work for firstly financial reasons. i’m 23 years old now and most of the people in my country usually graduate from uni around 25. my mom and friends all told me the same thing, “why rush?” and i realized i was in fact rushing things and wanted to do everything at once. my mom said something like “you’re young and you finished your education younger than many people, so stop rushing. you’re earning money, calm down and enjoy that, spend it and go out and explore.” and my friends also said similar stuff. anyways, all i’m trying to say is i’m young, i’m really lucky to have supportive people around me, i have decided to take things slow this year, do stuff i enjoy, which is working and learning new languages at the moment, and try to find joy in my life, and if i can’t find it, try to create it. i’ll probably be posting my teaching and language learning process from now on. thank you for reading this monster. and take care everyone :]<3

29/100 days of productivity | January 27, 2024

I realized that, in the chaos with my illness and everything else, I accidentally skipped my favorite part of the writing process. after reading through my sources several times, following a different logic each time, I like to draw up a long list of random observations in no particular order. since I already have some kind of framework for the subchapter, arranging them will be a bit easier, but, at the same time, the nature of these observations will also shape the subchapter's logic. so, with that, the writer's block is (probably) sorted out, and now I can finally make substantial progress.
