I decided I want to either start with Japanese or Korean for self studying languages again. Help me out!!
I've self studied Japanese on and off for years but I consume more content in Korean on a daily basis.
Thank you lovelies <3

April 2nd, 2025 🎀
Yesterday was not a good day. I was able to get a decent amount of chores done but I ended up having a sort of breakdown about some stuff going on in my life, I cried several times and ended up not being able to really focus on anything. I stayed up way later than I needed to and honestly just tried to be kind to myself because stuff feels heavy sometimes.
What I Accomplished (April 1st) 👑
washed dishes
put away clean laundry
ran another load of laundry
washed my towels, blanket, and pillow cases
tidied up around my room
took out three bags of trash
ordered groceries
watched a little bit of Attack on Titan
listed more items for sale on my depop
Yeah, not my most productive day, but I don't want to beat myself up about it. Stuff happens, and I just gotta keep my head above water and call that a win sometimes.
ToDo Today (April 2nd) ✨️
complete assignment 6 for one of my online classes (it's due tomorrow) 💻
work on chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology (at least a little bit) ✏️
make a study quizlet for exercise physiology
make a study quizlet for health psychology
gratitude journal 📖
morning + night skincare 🚿
work a night shift, 230pm to ~930pm ☕️
I need to start drastically limiting my caffeine intake. I definitely think the amount of caffeine I consume is unhealthy and is contributing to my heightened levels of anxiety and uneasiness. It will definitely do me some good to make some changes with that for sure.
I still haven't decided what language to pick back up yet, but I'm not in any rush to make a decision just yet either. I need to look at what classes to take next semester, if I'm switching colleges or not. And I need to fill out my FAFSA. But those will be tasks for another day right now.

hopefully I do at least half this list today, I'm feeling a little tired so we shall see. Will update tonight and restart my daily check ins as well!

To Do Today 9/28/24
I was supposed to work a long double shift today at my normal job and then a kinda side job task that involves talking to a ton of people and being out late at night. I've decided I'm going to tell my bosses I can't do it, because the anxiety I've felt about doing it has made me thrown up already 😅
so here's the stuff I am going to do today:
pre lab 24 chemistry
pre lab 25 chemistry
chemistry lecture quiz
catch up on chem lecture notes
catch up on psyc lecture notes
catch up on accounting lecture notes
complete other intro to business assignments
study japanese
study for TEAS exam
It sounds like a lot, but honestly, it should not take me all night to do all these things so I'll be fine, as long as I get then done!
see you in the update later, lovelies 🩷

Daily Check-in: September 9th, 2024 🍂
This weekend was rough. My grandma passed away and I found out at the end of a 13 hour work shift, so it made for a difficult night to say the least. But today was a decent day. Got lots of steps and had an overall pretty good day.

First Impressions 🎀
I've had 4 of my 5 classes so far (one doesn't start til october) and I definitely have some thoughts on them, so I thought I'd share my first impressions!
Principals of Accounting II:
the professor seems a bit disorganized, nervous, and semi chaotic but I like his energy
so many people in southern attire, I was a bit surprised
might take a decent amount of study time and energy to keep my grade up in the class, but I'm always up for a challenge and I definitely know I'm capable
gotta figure out a time efficient study routine for this class
Learning (Psychology)
professor has an accent, no idea where he's from, but it's a cool and thankfully understandable accent
feels very content heavy. I definitely want to buy the textbook for this class
need to find a way to stay awake, that's one of the classrooms that make me sleepy
that professor likes to talk for sure (1 hour and 15 min of just the syllabus? man's can talk)
Integrated Survey of Organic and Bio Chemistry
the professor is definitely a science guy, him being the professor makes perfect sense
i really like how he explains and teaches
appreciate that all the content needed is already posted to our class online and all the slides are available already
I love science based classes because I know how to succeed in them and this one seems no different
I have a friend in the class so that's nice!
Intro To Business (Online)
lots of content
lots to do
I gotta make sure I time manage for this class cause otherwise, I'm gonna fall behind
an introduction video?? why not just a discussion post?? ahhhhh
Overall, with working full time, this is going to be an incredibly stressful, incredibly busy semester, but I'm so up for the challenge, and I know I can do it. I just gotta study efficiently, time manage properly, and keep disciplined. I WILL be successful.

What's The Best Way To Split Up Language Learning When Learning 2+ Languages At The Same Time?
For example, I'm currently studying Spanish and Korean and will be re adding Japanese in a few months. I currently try to do specific days for specific languages but find myself doing a little of both a day.
Spanish Langblr Side Blog <3
Hello lovelies!
I want to get some more practice in my Spanish studying, specifically my writing and reading skills. I want to start posting some writing in Spanish on Tumblr but I'm a bit wary of doing so on my main profile because I feel like it's going to throw off the vibe and aesthetic of my blog. That being said, I am going to create a Spanish side blog! I hope you guys will give me a follow over there and help me out with my sentence structure, vocabulary, grammar, and just how I'm doing in Spanish overall!

Daily Check-in: April 16, 2024 🎀

🩷 What Could've Been Better:

💕 Song of The Day
BTS - House of Cards
This song was hitting all the right spots when I was closing at work. I forget how amazing it is until I hear it and ughhh how beautiful
Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 🎀
Tuesday was an odd day for me. Everything went fine, work went well, but for some reason by the end of the day, I was super upset about things, which was not what I had hoped to feel by the end of the day. But the day itself wasn't bad.
🩷 What I Accomplished:
listened to two podcast episodes in Spanish for passive input
typed up a detailed goals sheet
attended both classes for the day
worked an ~8 hour shift
studied chemistry
hit over 10k steps
began looking at how to fit exercise into my schedule/club pilates classes I could take
🩷 Good Things That Happened:
my supervisor and I knocked out a large catering order on time
talked to my dad on the phone for a bit
went to my psyc class, which I typically struggle to do
Realized studying the material from chemistry was actually helping me retain the information
got semi invited to go out after work some day soon with some work friends
🩷 What Could've Gone Better:
didn't get home until late cause work took forever
got weirdly emotional before falling asleep
super short zoom call with my boyfriend
did not study Spanish the way I wanted
was super tired all day
drank a coffee from a coffee shop on campus, and it messed up my stomach absolutely terribly (I need to stop buying coffee, my stomach can only handle the simple ones I make at home)
a co-worker was talking trash for no reason and was being super fake to my face, which was not fun because I thought him and I were cool with each other
🩷 Stuff To Do Tomorrow:
write psyc notes from lecture
study chemistry some more
decide final decision on declaring a 2nd major
double check my class schedule for next semester ( I register for classes tomorrow!!)
study my Spanish tasks that I didn't do Tuesday
keep boosting my depop shop (woke up to my first sold item this morning!)
cook dinner after lab
yeah, there's probably more that happened on Tuesday. Both good and bad, but I have no idea what it would be. I was so tired when I got home that I just forgot everything. I've got some weird memory issues. here's to tomorrow being better, hopefully!
