° but who will believe our report?
or; an introduction.
۞ · 안녕하세요! — hello! i have (mostly) been lurking on the writeblr side of things for several years now, but with my academics picking up and my tendency to ignore things until three days before the (self-appointed) deadline (rip), i decided to give the studyblr/langblr community a try. this is not the first time i have attempted an introduction, although, tbh, i posted nothing and actually deleted! my blog! several times! with no increase in productivity! bc i stuck at getting anything done under marginally normal circumstances! despite the obsessive use of notion and color coding!! hopefully this time it sticks—fingers crossed, sksksksk, but y'all have been duly warned
about me, or; a slightly less chaotic introduction.

goals.
۞ · academic:
get into college — ( very important!!! )
study archeology/history/linguistics — since childhood, one of my main goals has always been to become an archeologist/historian, and hopefully i can graduate with a degree someday! my ideal career would be to specialize in the Middle East and Asia, both the ancient and the modern world—hence the choice of languages for study.
study/live abroad — this is something that i've always to do, tbh, but i never really settled on a specific country or school (although living in Dubai for a year or two is definitely on my bucket list). recently, i've been looking into academic opportunities in South Korea and studying there (at any one of the SKY universities, maybe?) has become more and more of a dream that i'm hoping will come true eventually. if you've studied in/been accepted to/graduated from any universities or language schools in SK (specifically in Seoul or Busan), pls interact! i'd love to hear from you <333
survive high school — ( also very important!!! )
thrive — ( physically / mentally / emotionally / spiritually. )
۞ · linguistic:
reach near/complete fluency in:
korean.
reach intermediate level in:
arabic.
japanese.
reach conversational/small talk level in:
chinese.
hobbies.
calligraphy — i have slacked off on this for so long that all prior skills have probably disappeared, but imma list it here anyway. mainly latin alphabet calligraphy (read: eNgLiSh), hoping to branch out into hangul and the arabic alphabet once i pick this back up.
k-pop/hh/rnb/indie/dramas — oooof. this is what got me into korean in the first place, y'all, ngl. im an army, stay, shawol, atiny, alice, ahgase, wenee, moodz, melody, nctzen, exo-l (not necessarily in that order, however), and stan more groups and solo artists than i know what to do with/can physically keep track of, sksksksk. ( but those visuals, tho. ) hmu if you happen to stan any of these or have recommendations! drama recs are also welcome, i need new screen spouses tyvm
starting my own business — non-existent as of yet bc i suck at making up my mind about anything, but it's a hobby that i'd like to explore in the future.
writing — i write! as a hobby! for several years now!! honestly i started as a playwright and now divide my time between poetry anthologies and full-length fiction—i hope to be traditionally published one day in the poetry and prose worlds, respectively.
inspiration, or; studyblrs i recommend.
