[essayisms]

I am entirely consumed by my dissertation. After months and months of stagnation and brain fog, to work so hard at something and actually see progress is bliss.

My biggest takeaways from this are that Mo is starting some kind of fish theft ring and Timmy finally snapped after being pushed off the pier one too many times.

09/07/2019 - 100/100 days of productivity

Ladies and Gentleman, we have officially ended the 100 days of productivity challenge! It has been 100 consecutive days of learning and studying. Thanks for helping me through this journey ^^

I still have a few more days to go (my exams are next week aaah) so I will continue to post pictures and make this challenge a bit longer.

Again, thanks for being here and following me! I started this blog on a whim a few months ago and now 100 days later, I have over 1000 wonderful people that are interested in some of the things I do.

Stay healthy everyone

Amena

This book is really nice to learn vocabulary and more about Korean culture! I really recommend it. The stories start off simple and get harder as you go and get more comfortable with them. I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I’m pretty sure you can get it on Amazon or if you have a Books-a-million store that’s where I got mine!🌸🌻
