My Learning Journey

Pressure on doing well, uncertainty for my future, and fear for challenging something new let my life to be unproductive. To break out of the slump and get motivated, I would like to share my productivity challenge for 100 days! Studying for self-development, self-fulfillment, and for my new goal to go to graduate school!

가볍게 읽을 수 있는 책을 평소에 즐겨 읽었지만

부끄럽게도 문학동네 행사를 계기로 이제야 읽게 된 죄와 벌.

꼭 완독하길!

My favorite genre is thriller or i usually read self-help book. Although Crime and Punishment written by Dostoyevsky is really popular, i haven't ever read it before. I started reading the book thanks to event hosted by Munhakdongne, Korean publishing company. Hope i can end it soon!

Every Sunday, early in the morning, I go to the cafe with the spanish book! I am recently studying español in language exchange (i teach Japanese). I definitely love the morning of the weekend because of fewer people in the street. I guess I am always the very first customer of the cafe every Sunday♥

The bitter taste of coffee, caffeine is a good start of the day and let me be ready to be productive. And the sound of grinding coffee beans and the smell of those help me to concentrate on something without being too nervous: )

# 10/09/2018 

One of my favorite seasons, autumn is just around the corner. The weather gets cooler and no more sweating while walking! It was a bit hot today though. 

I have been crazily busy for a while because of conferences, submissions of the resume, work and studying. And I decided to take a break on Monday, today. Although Monday is the least beloved day, I enjoyed today without doing something serious, sleeping until 10 a.m., eating and going to the bookstore. :) 

I found this book, ‘Vacationers’ in the secondhand bookstore. Usually, foreign books (books written in English) in my country are quite expensive, but it was totally affordable. I am not sure whether it will suit my taste. 

Since I started to read books in English this year, I’ve read only three books and it is only the fourth (my procrastination) :/ Hope I can finish this within this month! (wanna improve the speed of my reading)

     Today is the last day of August. I will make a plan for next month to spend time efficiently and to do all I have to do without procrastination. Today, I made several sentences in Spanish with vocabulary (noun, verbs) I memorized. It is one of the greatest ways to learn the new language to make various sentences. 

   Btw, I finished the draft of my resume for the internship application. I have no idea exactly when my dream companies start to recruit interns, but I just want to get ready before applications open. :)  

   I will go to my home for a while to see my parents. Hope I can keep doing what I have to do because I usually get really lazy when I am with my family haha

#2,3,4,5th Day  30/08/2018

        On Sunday early morning, I went to the cafe to do language exchange. Since I decided to study Spanish, it’s been several months. To overcome procrastination, I did web surfing. On online, I found one person who can do Spanish but who wants to learn Japanese. It was the first time to meet someone stranger I met online in the real world but I am really pleased to meet the new person and learn a foreign language for FREE by teaching Japanese. :) 

       And That day in the picture was the perfect day! I woke up early in the morning and went to the cafe near the bookstore. Where I went is usually full of people during the daytime but not that day, I was totally alone in the cafe :)  

       Wanna have this kind of peaceful moment again :)

#1st Day  25/08/2018 

         After I failed my interview for the internship I really longed for, I could not easily focus on studying around 2 days. Now, I am trying to get motivated again as soon as possible! Today, I went to Starbucks around 10 a.m. and found some journals to read and made materials for teaching Japanese (cause I am currently teaching Japanese). It is a bit difficult to say that I was fully concentrated on studying but I felt better again. To overcome failure, one of the best ways is to go back to the daily routine and get focused, in my opinion.  And to walk the street full of trees, feeling cool breeze!
