hey there! i'm Bee, and i'm new to studyblr & langblr so an introduction seems like the best idea!

☆ about me

I'm Bee, a twenty-three spanish media & video student who also speaks English and French and is trying to learn her fourth language on her own this time! I lived in Finland for three months with an erasmus program and been in love with the country since (and with my partner who I met there ngl). Would love to live there in the future! That's one of the main reasons I started learning Finnish :)

☆ likes

I'm in love with anything that has to do with art: books, writting, cinema & tv shows, art history etc etc. Also languages and travel! Special mention to my biggest likes: Dead Poets Society, the marauders and If We Were Villains. Also my latest obssesion: making photo albums!

☆ why this blog

I have been active on here for couple of years on my main @beeisnothere where i mainly post (repost) dark academia, dead poets society and just pretty stuff in general (feel free to follow me there too!) but I've always been interested in this side of tumblr, and since I wanna keep myself accountable and motivate myself to study I just thought, why not? so here i am :)

pls feel free to message me, tag me or interact at all, i'd love to talk <3

Every weekday looking the same, work from home in the morning, nap and try to be productive and make good use of my evening. Only 15 days left until I'm done with work until September, and my moving date approaching, I still can't believe it's actually happening.

-> 20 mins of grammar exercises

-> 10 mins of flashcards

[28.06.26, sunday]

Pretty nice sunday, although dreading work tomorrow. They have to tell me if they wanna continue with me this next month so I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing.

Spent a good amount of time setting up Anki once again, will see if it sticks this time. Added up a good chunk of vocabulary with the cloze type of note and audio, but will tweak it on the go to fit my needs. After that did some revising too.

-> 10 mins of flashcards (not counting the setting up and making them)

-> 40 mins reading & vocab

Everyday looking the same when you're just inside hiding from a heatwave :D

Started a new book I randomly stumbled upon on the app, it had a mention from Alice Oseman in the cover so that's a good indicator. It's called Sydän vasta puolillaan and it's hitting the right spot of, it's decently interesting for a children's book and I'm not dying of boredom, but at the same time the level is just challenging enough while I'm still able to understand quite a bit. Gonna be sad to have to go again on the searching quest once I'm done with it

-> 40 min reading & vocab

Got some good news today, got the grade back from my degree's final project and I got full marks, a 10!! Super happy that all these months stressing over it were worth it.

Besides that, all my pics looking the same but all I'm doing lately is work in the mornings and some studying with the tablet in the afternoon. Such a stressing week at work I can't wait for it to be over.

Wanted to work on the vocab from my last lesson but for some reason couldn't find the shared document, had to ask for it so change of plans, resorted to the usual reading and youtube

-> 30 mins reading + vocab

[24.06.26, wednesday]

Pretty good studying day! Had an italki class first thing in the morning before work that went pretty well, and in the evening read and worked on one chapter from a reading book, and watched some youtube. Feeling pretty good after today, classes are definitely super worth the money imo

-> 45 min class

-> 30 min reading

[23.06.26, tuesday]

Had such a stressing day at work, yesterday they gave me a project that would normally take at least two weeks (having the right materials, which they didnt give me mind you) that needed to be done by friday morning :D I'm the least confrontational person ever, but ended up in a call with higher ups because it literally couldn't be done. I'm very lucky that my supervisor is great and stands up for me, but god I was stressed.

So, had a very well deserved nap afterwards, and did some studying. Revised a bit for my lesson tomorrow, watched some youtube and read another children's book. I gave up with the one in the photo, is definitely not my level and it uses vocabulary that's not day to day at all, since it's set in the past. Don't think I'll need to know horse-drawn carriage in the near future tbh

-> Revised grammar, the conditional

-> 20 mins reading

[21.06.26, sunday]

Trying to figure out what I wanna do with the posts from now on. I'll start uni in august, and I'd like to make posts a bit more about studying in general and not only finnish, although it'll probably still be a big theme since now I'll be living there. Will see what I come up with.

Started a more difficult book in finnish today, will see if I stick with it or go back down to books with pictures, but god it's difficult to find a balance between something I can understand and something I actually wanna read ugh.

Spent the rest of my evening continuing my commonplace journal, we can count that as independent study as well.

-> 15 mins of reading in finnish "Outoja tapauksia Baskervillen koulussa 1: Baskervillen koulu"

-> 15 mins of finnish youtube vlog "Hello kesäkuu. Kuukauden reset | arki vlogi, siivous & housojen lyhentäminen" by Anni Suvisuo

-> Continued with my commonplace journal, today's topics: King Charles Vi and the Glass Delusion, Hilma af Klint

We're absolutely boiling over here (monday is gonna be 43° im scared) so chill weekend at home. Don't mind the pic from last week.

We're back!! I'm finally done with my degree, I defended my project last monday and it went pretty good. I still don't know the grade, but the jury didn't ask me any questions or point any mistakes, they just congratulated me on different aspects, so I guess that's good!!

Now I have like a month-ish before the big move, and I only have to work in the mornings so it's time to lock in again.

These past two days I've been watching some videos and reading some children books, but today we're back with some grammar. Just started working on book 3. Also some youtube today, and scheduled a lesson for next week.

[19.05.26, tuesday]

it's been a while, so this will be some kind of update. i've finally finished my internship, and have gotten a (not formal yet) offer to continue with them, at least until i leave for finland. i'm still not sure if they will actually contact me or if they were empty words, but finally getting a foot on the door of my field just when i'm leaving has had me spiraling a little. but i know, deep down, that i really wanna move. still, doesn't make it much easier :')

If that wasn't enough, I have a week before my final project's deadline, and I've been stressing since I decided to change almost the whole thing with less than a month of time. But even if it's not fully ready yet, I'm working hard to meet the deadline. I just really wanna graduate and to not have to exchange a single more email with this ppl ever.

[25.04.26, saturday]

these past weeks have been super hectic, and my language studies have definitely taken the hit of it. Between my internship and the deadline for my final project coming in like a month, I feel like I'm going a little insane. To be honest can't wait for it to be all over and graduate from this god awful degree. I just have to put up with it for one more month :'D

I had been neglecting finnish for a bit, but i finally booked a class for yesterday, and it was quite motivating. We're finishing the second book soon, and from now on we'll focus on more writing and reading resources outside the textbook since I already have a decent grammar base. That was really nice to hear, because sometimes it's hard to notice your own progress. We also did a long speaking exercise on a specific topic which reminded me of my english classes when I was learning it back in the day, which was cool.

I'm also lowkey excited about starting finnish classes at uni, even if I'll probably have to start from 0 it'll be nice to go over the basics again and have classmates to practice with :)

[04.04.26, saturday]

Shit got real all of a sudden and have been neglecting studying these past two weeks. But we're back to it, my tutor is back from holidays which is nice since classes keep me accountable, and after this easter break we're locking in 🫡

I'm actually really happy because I've been talking with one of my future classmates and we've clicked so well, I'm happy I won't be lost and alone the first day. These next week they're holding couple webinars for information, which will be nice. But all this is just making me excited for this next school year, and first I gotta finish this one. And let me tell you, the final project is kicking my ass.

[15.03.26, sunday]

This past week I got some super good news that I'm still trying to process and not go insane over. I got in. I'm gonna study in Finland this next school year, I got accepted into the degree I wanted. What the actual fuck.

There were only like 33 spots, I was so sure I wasn't gonna get in and even if I put lots of effort on my portfolio, the project they asked for and felt like the interview went well, I never actually believe it was a possibility, but somehow here we are. I actually got 186/200 points which is insane. I'm lowkey quite proud of myself since it's not grade-based and you are chosen based on your work, since it's an art program!

I'm kinda still not believing it's happening and probably won't until I'm there, but I'm so extremely excited. I've never gotten to experience uni life neither, and god I can't wait.

But that also means I really have to get serious about the language. I'm still doing bits everyday, but I really need to get a more strict studying schedule if I want to progress. Talk about motivation yk

[12.03.26, thursday]

Work and my final project still very much taking all my time (and energy) but still finding moments to study. Had an italki class today which completely killed me with grammar (after full on 45 mins of fighting with the partitive plural felt like my head was gonna explode lol) but feels nice to be productive

[07.03.26, saturday]

What a crazy past weeks. I think I mentioned it on my last post, I started my internship and I've been swarmed in projects and deadlines. I've had to cover events fully on my own, go film people on their studios, edit videos for big social media accounts and clients. And for my socially anxious self that was a lot. But I'm pretty proud of myself for doing it! Also building portfolio which is exactly what I needed.

I also had the interview for the degree this week!! I had gotten so many questions ready, a pitch of my project, my desk was full of papers with answers to possible questions... and then the interview turned out to be the most informal chill thing ever, just getting to know me. I had a good feeling, but maybe they're just good at their job lol. Now I have to wait until May and try not to go insane.

Still, even when being really busy and tired, been doing some Finnish everyday. When I don't have much time I try to at least watch a youtube video or listen to a podcast episode. When I have some more time, I've been going over articles, song lyrics and bits of books, translating and extracting vocab.
