Last year I bought a 1-year-subscription for Babbel because it was pretty cheap for Black Friday. I used it every once in a while but never finished the Polish course. Now the course is too low for my language level but I feel bad about not using it to its full potential. That’s why I’ll attempt to go through the Polish Babbel course until 28th November (which is when my subscription ends).

This morning I still had 366 lessons to do and there were 33 days left. Therefore I have to finish around 11 lessons per day. Today I did 17 because it was pretty easy grammar. Although I didn’t learn anything new, it was a good revision session.

count: 17/366

I think my cat is broken. She has slept with her feet up in the air for more than an hour. But she usually never lays on her back.

Only 28 school days, at least 2 presentations, 3 essays, 5 tests, 4 exams and finals left!

I really like studying in my school halls lately. Especially when there's a productive friend with me.

I decided to participate in @stu-dna's October challenge. I wonder if I can actually go through with it for once.

Introduce thyself! What are you studying? What are your goals for this month? This year?

My name is Paula and I'll turn 18 on October 25. On Friday I'll move across Germany to study Language, Culture and Translation. My target languages will be French, English and Polish. I'm really excited for this new chapter in life!

In October I would like to start my new life successfully. I want to decorate my flat, make friends and establish a strong routine. Following a routine has always been one of my struggles, so we'll see how that goes :/

My first goal for the remaining of the year is to try out NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I've had this story idea in my head for years now and I thought NaNoWriMo would be a good idea to actually start writing it. I also want to take better care of myself during uni than I did during high school. That means getting enough sleep and working out regularly!
