weekly log 7
week of 2/15-2/21
i continue to be on the side of overwhelmed..... doesn't feel like im going to korea this week (!) lol kinda need more time to get myself together but i did finish booking hotels/flights for the rest of the trip so that was the bulk of my mental energy this week
korean not much here..... x1 listening session. though guess by the end of the week everyday will count as practice ? idk cant help but feel :/ that i havent improved since my last korea trip but thats on me for being constantly inconsistent
gym/exercise x3 times this week. randomness in my work schedule sometimes gets in the way of going i fear
reading i fear i did not read shit and that is correlated with an increase in phone screen time rip
other did stuff here prolly deleted like 4k files from my external hard drive😭😭doing backups but never going through things means a lot gets duplicated so im trying to clean that mess.
weekly log 6
week of 2/8-2/14
halfway through feburary and frankly i am overwhelmed with life :3 frankly some of it is good (trip planning👀) but a lot of it was just lying in bed doing nothing lol
korean just did some vocab flashcards this week and nothing else oh well. whenever i go to korea im like i need to be more proficient in korean and then i dont do enough to improve so looks like we are headed that way again with this upcoming trip it is what it is though
gym/exercise x3 days at the gym + 2 days of doing some cardio one day of which was going ice skating!!! ideally i try to go once a month but havent been since nov. so it was very nice to get to go again :)
reading lackluster week here basically doing a chapter (~20 pages) each time i read and its not been everyday
weekly log 5
week of 2/1-2/7
the plan of locking in when feb started....... failure!
korean worked on making like. a grammar index just so i can have a more quick reference to things in case i forget rather than trying to find stuff in my notes/textbook. figuring out how i want to organize it though (rn its just in order of how it is in the textbook)
gym/exercise lowkey forgot what i did. think i went to the gym three times though :)
reading current read is like 600 pages been a little slow lately but making my way through it
weekly log 4
week of 1/25-1/31 jan already over. doing these really makes me realize how fast stuff goes like the days are long but the years are short is eternal (or maybe my days are short too. sometimes i feel like i cant do anything)
korean -finished the beginning 2 textbook finally :) so now on to intermediate 1 hope i will get through this faster than beginning 2 cause this is all supposed to be review. oops. also had x1 listening practice only session and 4 days where i at least went through some vocab flashcards
gym/exercise -the weather means i am not leaving the house. while below freezing is not weird for winter it is weird for it to be below freezing for like two week straight + all the ice and snow but mostly ice. anyhow went to the gym once + 2 days on the treadmill at home. i should do actual cardio more outside of just doing 10min on the stairmaster at the end of a gym session b/c getting back on the treadmill was a struggle
reading -finished book 3 of the year :)
other -still nothing to add here this week rip in peace
weekly log 3
week of 1/18-1/24
slow week overall for me :)
korean -1 day of studying and 2 days where i just opened the vocab flashcards lol. did see no other choice - wouldnt exactly call that listening practice cause i am not at the level to even understand like 50% of a movie. but i get some things here and there~
gym/exercise -went x3 this week.
reading -finished second book of the year (was just kinda neutral on it). did pick up a non-fiction book as i mentioned last week i need to read more nf! idk when i will start it though just based on other books i currently have check out lol but it will be soon-ish at least :)
other -not much to add here this week
weekly log 2
week of 1/11-1/17
korean -slow week. 1 day of some listening practice and another day where i did some vocab flashcards -goal is to start doing vocab flashcards daily as bare min so even when i have slower weeks like this im still doing something :)
gym/exercise -went x4 this week which is my goal! -like i said last week i need to start like. tracking what i do and go with a plan srkjnfskj but havent done that yet
reading -still read everyday + finished first book of the year -frequent reading is something i have been good on before the start of the year (40 books last year) but what i want to improve on is actually making notes/writing reviews about what i read so i actually like think about it instead of just moving on to the next book and reading more non-fiction cause i rarely do (but i feel like finding non-fic recs is harder than fiction lol)
other -everything i mentioned in the last post has not been touched again lol might get to some of that today -adding to the other pile is reworking my resume
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii idk if anyone is still around here but maybe ? i want to post again tldr life summary: -honestly not a lot got better for me post-graduation. when i was last here around my final year of college (2021) i was veryyyyy not doing well both academically and just in life in general. and i still have zero life direction/still live at home/not working a #real job WHATEVERRRR -i have however been to korea 4 (!) times now :3 the pro of living at home is u can save all ur money for travel even if that makes u miserable 99% of the time otherwise -have i been studying korean though? no not really <3 do i want to improve my korean though so every time i go there i dont sound like a dumbass? yes <3 im sporadically studying + did take an online korean class through the korean cultural center during the fall (but idk if i made much improvement w/ the class - it was just once a week online so like theres only so much u can do with that) but i jinjja want to get more serious with it
with that being said my intention is to come back to the langblr side of things + would like to post sort of a weekly progress log for not just korean but also things like gym/reading/anything else im working on in those realms. i think accountability and tracking might help me out a bit. is tumblr the best social media for this? probably not i genuinely have no idea if studyblr/langblr is still even a thing anymore😭😭but for now this is me trying ig........
weekly log 1
hellooooo first post of my weekly logs (week of 1/4-1/10). intending for these to just be brief overviews of my week + progress for things i am working on :]
korean -studied x2 times this week. going through my old textbooks from college starting w/ beginning 2 (ik my foundations are shaky atp). went through a unit in this and have one more left (have been going through the textbook off and on lol)
gym/exercise -went to gym x3 times this week -need to get clearer goals w/ this cause i just go in and do some exercises sdkjrfnkjdf but what matters is im going even if it isnt the most structured
reading -read everyday! probably ~300 pages total but book is long as hell so im only halfway through lol
other -my phone storage is veryyyyyy full and need to be serious about going through everything (24k+ photos of which 5.6k of those are videos). this will be very much a long term project -going through my digital camera! have never really gone though whats one there. i have transferred everything to my laptop and organized it in folders (and did some more organizing with other random things i have saved on my computer) -have been going through my stuff and getting rid of kpop albums/other things + misc items in my room. in need of more space and just in general dont want as many ~things~ anymore. a longgggggg ongoing process especially since i never know how long something will take to sell (but there are some things i've listed and relisted over years atp rip. kpop fans dont gaf about the actual albums themselves anymore i fear). i also get stuck in a cycle of like i have too many things that i do not want anymore so im not going to list everything and will wait to list X things until currently listed Y things are sold and i have more space. but Y things have not sold yet. but even with that im still trying to frequently list and relist things and make more space in my room
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii idk if anyone is still around here but maybe ? i want to post again tldr life summary: -honestly not a lot got better for me post-graduation. when i was last here around my final year of college (2021) i was veryyyyy not doing well both academically and just in life in general. and i still have zero life direction/still live at home/not working a #real job WHATEVERRRR -i have however been to korea 4 (!) times now :3 the pro of living at home is u can save all ur money for travel even if that makes u miserable 99% of the time otherwise -have i been studying korean though? no not really <3 do i want to improve my korean though so every time i go there i dont sound like a dumbass? yes <3 im sporadically studying + did take an online korean class through the korean cultural center during the fall (but idk if i made much improvement w/ the class - it was just once a week online so like theres only so much u can do with that) but i jinjja want to get more serious with it

LANGUAGE-SANCTUARY LANGBLR CHALLENGE
This is my personal method to language studying, I thought it would be helpful. A link to a PDF can be found here
How this works:
Language studying consists of fours skills: writing and speaking (active skills) and reading and listening (passive skills). I have compiled a list of language learning activities that provide a comprehensive approach to those fours skills and can be useful to visual, auditory or kinesthesic learners (or a mix).
You can set an estimate of the points you’ll get in week or day, or even try to improve a previous score.
You can try to go though the list in order
You can print the list, stick it to the wall and throw darts at it, just have fun!
If you use this, please tag it as #karenstudymethod or tag @language-sactuary so I can see the posts!
凉菜 – "Cool" Foods
These foods levels are never ending lol
There are 热菜 Hot Foods and 凉菜 Cool/Cold Foods. These words are only used to describe 主菜 Main Dishes, not 小菜 Side Dishes or 开胃菜 Appetizers. Despite being 凉 meaning "cool" it is used for cold dishes. This also goes for water, which is why if you want cold water, you must ask for 冰水 Ice Water instead of 凉水 which would be more like cool/room temperature water.
热菜 Hot Dishes are most dishes, especially meats.
凉菜 Cool/Cold Dishes:
豆腐丝 / dòu fu sī / shredded tofu
泡菜 / pài cài / pickled cabbage
凉面 / liáng miàn / cold noodles
酸辣黄瓜 / suān là huáng guā / sour & spicy cucumber
Review/Extra Vocab:
主菜 / zhǔ cài / main dish
主食 / zhǔ shí / main food, staple
小菜 / xiǎo cài / side dish
开胃菜 / kāi wèi cài / appetizer
凉快 / liáng kuài / cool (temperature)
暖和 / nuǎn huo / warm (temperature)
Shout out to all the students who aren't good at what they're passionate about, who can't concentrate on their study, who didn't win an award, who always thought they going to drop out but made it, who aren't passionate about what they're good at, who can't ask question or answer infront of whole class, who didn't have any friend throughout the whole session, who was going through difficult times because of their family issues, who have any kind of physical or mental illness, who love to study but hate giving exams. To all the students out there I'm so proud of you and you are are so strong.

When he says "wife", there is no love, warmth, or goodness in it...
i've met so many men in my life that are like this about their wives. i have two in my hvac class that talk about their wives like they're the biggest nagging, bossy ass women ever. why marry someone you can't stand being around? i didn't understand it as a kid and i don't understand it now as i creep closer to being middle aged.
