hi hi! ~~

I'm laste1le, I'm a 24 year old ancient being obsessed with language, culture and the universe. I currently reside in the south of England while I work, study and learn languages.

I hope you have a nice time here where I post nerdy language stats and hoard beautiful posts ཐི ྐ❤︎ ཋྀ

2026 Language Challenge

I studied for 1 hour 13 minutes and 19 seconds

I spent about 7 minutes on duolingo across all languages

I studied some greek grammar today for 14 minutes 10 seconds

I studied for 1 hour and 10 seconds

Better! Still feeling super rough through but I'm happier with today

I spent 10 minutes 27 seconds on duolingo across all languages

I also continued learning the Arabic alphabet, i spend about 12 minutes on this

I studied for 24 minutes and 31 seconds

Not the best start! I had a health flare up during the night and an anxiety attack at the gym so I didn't end up getting loads done

I spent 5 minutes on duolingo across all languages

& general update

13th July- 19th July

Wow it has been SO long since I've done one of these! I had a lot of health issues which completely took over any free time and mental energy I had so this blog was completely ignored.

It's still ongoing so I definitely won't be doing nearly as much here as I used to (at least for now) BUT I want some kind of normalcy and some goals to work towards so here we go!

Where I've been quite ill I've been focusing more also on faith and spirituality so I'll include some aspects of this in my goals as well as, when uni starts up again, my general study goals. So essentially I will still be working a lot on languages but I want to expand this blog to more of a general productivity account!

On to the goals!!

** yes, this is focused on weight, please don't take my measurements/calories/fitness plans etc and apply them to you, I have specific health concerns where my weight and fitness can exasperate my illnesses and I am working under the guidance of a doctor. This is purely for me to keep track of

Stick to my meal plan (within my calories)

Exercise for 30 minutes every day

Reduce my caffeine intake to 3 drinks a day (I'm so addicted...)

Drink 2 litres of water a day

Aim for 5k steps a day

Weigh myself and take my measurements so I can better track progress for my dr!
