Oh i love this concept!

[amateurlanguager]

I love it too! I love it mostly because it makes me feel less overwhelmed. When you break it down like this, everything seems so much more manageable. Like, hey, I could memorize 20 words at a time (even if ‘at a time’ varies wildly for me), and just do that like ten times. That’s a HUGE chunk of a language.

(And since I have the habit of doing languages that are similar to ones I’m already familiar with, the grammar part usually comes pretty easy, too.)

🌻 August 18th  🌻 - my bujo; 9 more days of summer 

wowoowo it’s been awhile since I’ve done a spread (probably going to be another long while until i decide to do another one ahaha); although I really like using bujos, it’s really time-consuming (esp. for someone who’s a hardcore perfectionist cry). ANyways I have all my summer assignments completed woo!

june 9, 2017 - what’s the biggest thing you learned last semester?

#ssn june challenge: week 1, day 4

i think the biggest thing that i learned this past semester was learning how to really do research and how to work with unfamiliar people. in my world music class, we were assigned a semester-long research project (you can read a little more about it here, and special thanks to my good friend @jinstudies for being part of it!), working together with randomly selected people in the class. sifting through a myriad of readings, asking the right questions, and formulating a truly solid thesis was difficult and stressful. i was fortunate enough that my teammates and i got along very well and we were successful in the end (we got an A on our final paper!), but i know that in the real-world workplace, you don’t always get to choose who you want to work with, and you won’t always get to be that lucky. you encounter all kinds of obstacles, and you may disagree on things every now and then, but you learn to deal with what you’ve got, compromise, and cooperate with others while kindly respecting one another. it may even seem daunting at first, but you will soon see yourself bloom and grow!

02/100 Days of Productivity Animal Physiology

I did my endocrinology notes, and all the schemas. It took me two days (cause i’m very lazy) And now I have to print it (it’s around 8 pages 😥 )

I use SketchBook for my notes (I want to use another one because it doesn’t work the way i want …) and Evernote for my text which is pretty cool but I wanted to highlight in more colors than just yellow …

If you want to know how I do my notes and why I put some on my computer. Feel free to ask !
