Oh i love this concept!
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.)

Took some time but here is finally my February spread! I’m in love with how it turned out even though this spread made me a little frustrated since I screwed up a sketch and had to correct it. Anyways, I hope February has been treating you well~

Some of my recent book purchases. I loved Text Me When You Get Home and hope to start Curious next week!
Pst. I’m doing a giveaway when I reach 1K followers!
the main piece of advice i have for students is this: learn how to fail and persevere. it is a skill that will help you in life far more than perfect grades. think of failure impersonally. when you fail, you have just eliminated one method that doesn’t work for you, so you need to try a different method in the future. figure out which factors contributed to the undesirable result, and change them. (teachers, advisors, and academic counselors can help you with this if you aren’t sure where to start). i know from personal experience that fear of failure is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, because it leads to self-sabotage. if you can learn not to think of it as an inherent personal flaw, but rather as a strategy that didn’t work for you and can be changed, you will be well-equipped to face the inevitable failures and rejections that are part of life.
(March 03 2018) Still feeling kinda sick but I’m glad I was able to make it to the school today.

two posts in one day - yes! when you are a NERD and the bf buys you pretty pens and stationary bits as part of your early b-day gifts you are happy and have to share them (they even came in cool packaging). I also tabbed off my moleskines that I take all of my lecture notes in (save for stats). And then there’s Dorian drinking water from the fish tank/his personal water fountain…
