おじさまと猫 「スリスリ派」 Ojisama to Neko: “Nuzzle Buddies”
Notes: “Nuzzle” may not be the most accurate translation for “surisuri,” but I thought it had a warm and fuzzy ring to it that fit the imagery better than “rub-rub” or something similar. Also, Fukumaru tends to speak in third-person (lit. “Fukumaru loves being petted,” “Fukumaru thinks so too,” etc.) I considered leaving this in, but I thought it might be a little confusing, for readers who aren’t familiar with the cat’s name yet.There’s not much information about this series available in English, but I hope that changes soon.
I’ve been reading the Ojisama to Neko comics that @sakurai_umi_ has been posting on twitter, and they’re SO SWEET AND CUTE; SOMEONE HOLD ME. I really hope this takes off in Japan and gets popular enough to get an official translation. I’ll buy every volume. PLEASE SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL ARTIST’S WORK ON TWITTER AND PIXIV.

quickfire study tips
congrats ! past papers are your new best friend. don’t forget the mark schemes.
repetition repetition repetition
start big and condense down. notes to mind maps to flashcards.
don’t spend a full day studying. please. you will hurt your brain.
teach someone! if there’s nobody to listen to you teach, teach your teddy bears god dammit
plan what you’re gonna do with your time. even just roughly.
organise your shit, bruh. you don’t need fancy planners and wall posters, just know what you need to study and know what homework is due
flash cards are great but only if you keep reviewing them
mind maps are great for linking concepts !!!
make sure you’re looking after yourself bc you’ll never work well otherwise
on that note, here’s a bunch of foods that boost your brain power
extra reading !! books and articles and videos on your subject can massively help you in exams okay
practise recall, not recognition
just put your phone away. or turn it off. whatever works.
colour coding is great, so long as you don’t go overboard
don’t ! listen ! to! music ! with ! lyrics !!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???
“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”
I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT
NO ONE TOLD YOU???? WTF! I HAVE FAILED YOU. Also: Dear ______: Thank you so much for the opportunity to sit down with you (&________) to discuss the [insert job position]. I am grateful to be considered for the position. I think I will be a great fit at [company name], especially given my experience in __________. [insert possible reference to something you talked about, something that excited you.] I look forward to hearing from you [and if you are feeling super confident: and working together in the future]. Sincerely, @mellivorinae
THIS IS A LIFESAVING TEMPLATE
YOU ARE WELCOME
Right now, I’m sifting through 50+ applications for a new entry-level position. Here’s some advice from the person who will actually be looking at your CV/resume and cover letter:
‘You must include a cover letter’ does not mean ‘write a single line about why you want this position’. If you can’t be bothered to write at least one actual paragraphs about why you want this job, I can’t be bothered to read your CV.
Don’t bother including a list of your interests if all you can think of is ‘socialising with friends’ and ‘listening to music’. Everyone likes those things. Unless you can explain why the stuff you do enriches you as a person and a candidate (e.g. playing an instrument or a sport shows dedication and discipline) then I honestly don’t care how you spend your time. I won’t be looking at your CV thinking ‘huh, they haven’t included their interests, they must have none’, I’m just looking for what you have included.
Even if you apply online, I can see the filename you used for your CV. Filenames that don’t include YOUR name are annoying. Filenames like ‘CV - media’ tell me that you’ve got several CVs you send off depending on the kind of job advertised and that you probably didn’t tailor it for this position. ‘[Full name] CV’ is best.
USE. A. PDF. All the meta information, including how long you worked on it, when you created it, times, etc, is right there in a Word doc. PDFs are far more professional looking and clean and mean that I can’t make any (unconscious or not) decisions about you based on information about the file.
I don’t care what the duties in your previous unrelated jobs were unless you can tell me why they’re useful to this job. If you worked in a shop, and you’re applying for an office job which involves talking to lots of people, don’t give me a list of stuff you did, write a sentence about how much you enjoyed working in a team to help everyone you interacted with and did your best to make them leave the shop with a smile. I want to know what makes you happy in a job, because I want you to be happy within the job I’m advertising.
Does the application pack say who you’ll be reporting to? Can you find their name on the company website? Address your application to them. It’s super easy and shows that you give enough of a shit to google something. 95% of people don’t do this.
Tell me who you are. Tell me what makes you want to get up in the morning and go to work and feel fulfilled. Tell me what you’re looking for, not just what you think I’m looking for.
I will skim your CV. If you have a bunch of bullet points, make every one of them count. Make the first one the best one. If it’s not interesting to you, it’s probably not interesting to me. I’m overworked and tired. Make my job easy.
“I work well in a team or individually” okay cool, you and everyone else. If the job means you’ll be part of a big team, talk about how much you love teamwork and how collaborating with people is the best way to solve problems. If the job requires lots of independence, talk about how you are great at taking direction and running with it, and how you have the confidence to follow your own ideas and seek out the insight of others when necessary. I am profoundly uninterested in cookie-cutter statements. I want to know how you actually work, not how a teacher once told you you should work.
For an entry-level role, tell me how you’re looking forward to growing and developing and learning as much as you can. I will hire genuine enthusiasm and drive over cherry-picked skills any day. You can teach someone to use Excel, but you can’t teach someone to give a shit. It makes a real difference.
This is my advice for small, independent orgs like charities, etc. We usually don’t go through agencies, and the person reading through the applications is usually the person who will manage you, so it helps if you can give them a real sense of who you are and how you’ll grab hold of that entry level position and give it all you’ve got. This stuff might not apply to big companies with actual HR departments - it’s up to you to figure out the culture and what they’re looking for and mirror it. Do they use buzzwords? Use the same buzzwords! Do they write in a friendly, informal way? Do the same! And remember, 95% of job hunting (beyond who you know and flat-out nepotism, ugh) is luck. If you keep getting rejected, it’s not because you suck. You might just need a different approach, or it might just take the right pair of eyes landing on your CV.
And if you get rejected, it’s worthwhile asking why. You’ve already been rejected, the worst has already happened, there’s really nothing bad that can come out of you asking them for some constructive feedback (politely, informally, “if it isn’t too much trouble”). Pretty much all of us have been hopeless jobseekers at one point or another. We know it’s shitty and hard and soul-crushing. Friendliness goes a long way. Even if it’s just one line like “your cover letter wasn’t inspiring" at least you know where to start.
And seriously, if you have any friends that do any kind of hiring or have any involvement with that side of things, ask them to look at your CV with a big red pen and brutal honesty. I do this all the time, and the most important thing I do is making it so their CV doesn’t read exactly like that of every other person who took the same ‘how-to-get-a-job’ class in school. If your CV has a paragraph that starts with something like ‘I am a highly motivated and punctual individual who–’ then oh my god I AM ALREADY ASLEEP.
I’m gonna get really good at Japanese, then improve my Korean, learn Thai, then pick up Chinese again and ace it, then become a translator and travel the world learning all the languages

so the irish term for depression is “an mór-bhrón” which directly translates to “the big sad” and that right there is the mood of this fine winter lads
@therealjacksepticeye can you confirm this? :0
I asked all three of my Irish housemates and they confirmed. Said it was something like “the great sorrow” but same thing really.
I can add to this by saying that from what I remember from briefly studying Irish Gaelic, not only is it “a big sorrow” but instead of saying “I am sad” or “I have great sadness” they say “A big sorrow is upon me”…(mór-bhrón orm)…which I think is more picturesque/expressive…like a big rock on your chest or a cloud over you.
The weirdest thing about learning languages is the fact that you stop hearing disjointed sounds and start hearing meaning
this arvo after we’d picked the kids up from kindergarten my host mum said she had to go drop sth off at someone’s house but one of the kids said he didn’t wanna go so we agreed that i’d stay home with just him and she’d go out with the other three. after like 10 minutes of being at home by ourselves we’d already read a handful of picture books and i remembered that we were almost out of apples, carrots and bananas, so i suggested we go out to the shops and get them quickly before the others came home. he agreed on the condition that i also buy him a bread roll (which cost like 20 cents each so no biggie) so we went to edeka and got the fruit and veggies we needed and then into aldi bc he likes the bread rolls there more. there’s not really a park nearby the shops or anywhere we could sit to eat our bread rolls so we decided to go back into edeka to look at the christmas displays and just as we were abt to leave we bumped into the rest of the family, who’d also just happened to’ve bought apples, carrots and bananas… anyway we ended up getting some more bread rolls and then all walked past the pond on the way home and fed the ducks. too bad they weren’t hungry for apples, carrots or bananas.
Listen up, folks!
I recently found a website called FutureLearn that has a lot of free courses from universities all over the world.
Some of them are on languages!
I just finished taking Introduction to Norwegian (via the University of Oslo) and it was very complimentary to my Duolingo and other self-studying! I think that there is an Intro to Italian and an Intro to Frisian class on there right now for those interested!
I highly recommend you check this out, whether or not it’s for language.
Happy studying!
