3/100 Days of Productivity!

I'm still sick but I'm doing good academically! at least I think!

Done with my pali assignment! (on day 4 morning btw)

Also done with my HSKK class!

I'm still studying Japanese at N3 level because I'm not ready for N2 yet... Hyouka is helping me along.

A new semester for HGU UNITWIN starts tomorrow! Worldview studies and Health Psychology here I come!!!

I finished "The Con Job" which is a Leverage novel and it was honestly disappointing since I'm rewatching the show. But I'm still gonna pick up "The Zoo Job"

On this week's HAIYUU book club activity: We're reading the little prince! Last week my friend chose that book and I was astounded by the amount of people who thought it was a children's book(??!??) Anyway, we're gonna discuss translations too since we decided to let the readers pick the language of the book they wanted. Personally, I'm reading it in Chinese.

My tonsilitis still persists. Now I have body aches. Idk when I'll get better but god, it better be soon.

just found out that I have pali final on 29th! and also another assignment before it. also, my coursera plus subscription is running out in october. when it rains, it pours I guess.

Yooooooooooo I made it!!!

Btw if you're a Burmese mutual who's interested in Pali language, you can attend this at No cost! They ship the textbook no matter where you live (any country! for real!) and you can attend a basic introductory course until you have a master's degree in Pali for zero kyats! They teach solely in Burmese but this is a trilingual course where you have to know Burmese, English and Pali to get good grades so it is challenging. But it's a huge opportunity and I totally recommend this school! Besides, they upload all their videos on youtube and telegram so you never even have to worry about time zones! I'm planning to get at least a Bachelor degree out of this school :D

I'm a week late lol but I have updates!!

- Started taking HSKK (Chinese Speaking Proficiency Test) advanced prep class :D We're all advanced learners in here with HSK 5/6 levels so the teacher is speaking in Chinese the whole time and I'm so happy that I can understand 99% of what she's saying but also I found out my Chinese speaking has really diminished 😭 Thank god I was able to introduce myself and answer her questions in Chinese but the mock tests are kicking my ass no doubt.

- J.Test (Japanese language exam) released the correct answers and I got enough marks to pass JLPT N3 level!! I'm still waiting for formal result announcements but I'm pretty sure I got it!! :D

- Started teaching a new basic Chinese class so now I have to teach 4 days per week. It's a bit tough but I think I'm making it work?

- the level 1 Chinese class I'm teaching is going to end in February so I'm gonna have to prep for the level 2 class and THEN prep and record my basic Korean classes. I'll tell y'all how it goes

- I have 100% grade but still missing classes for Pali Diploma and will have to make up a lot in the future. Thank god they don't grade attendances 😭

- I have a slight fever right now so I'm chugging Lipovitan-D to keep me going. I have a tarot session booked this afternon and a chinese class to teach so can't really rest Unfortunately :/ but Dimension 20 FHJY is helping me with my mood.

Anyways that's all! happy studying, y'all

100 Days of Productivity Challenge ☕✨

I made it through the other side but well, I have assignments piling up right now. There ain't no rest for the wicked I guess.

Things I did during the challenge

Leveled up my Japanese and passed J.Test D Level (JLPT N3) Equivalent

Leveled up my Chinese skills by taking an advance speaking and prep course

Started learning Pali language

Taught 2 chinese classes and one korean class! All of them good memories~

Successfully ran three paid telegram channels to help people in need in Myanmar

Did a free language consultation program to help out people who are trying to learn new languages

Raised money for people in Myanmar by tarot reading, selling ebooks etc

Put my health first even though it sucked to not have an income for 2 weeks

Saved money and learned how to budget and manage my finances

Re-kindled a past connection with someone who made me feel alive and happy, and who is now making me feel alive and happy

Watched/Listened to a lot of new stuff and also read good books!

Worked a lot on my WIPs, even though they aren't urgent, they're important to me

Found out new things to enjoy in life. Journaling, new coffee, new food, candles etc :) I bought myself a phone stand and now my neck and hand nerves suffer less! And I make my cats and my friends happy! I buy my family food and drinks!

Realized life is infinitely complex and hard and full of suffering but I don't have to be like that. I can make people smile via gifts and acts of service. I can be of help. And I don't even need to burn out myself to do it because my friends and family love me as well :)

Here's to many more weeks and many more days~
