mite!!

hi! welcome to my studyblr sideblog :)

my goals for this year:

-finish 7 notebooks

-read fifty books

-finish a novel draft

-finish the mac demarco "one wayne g" album

books read: 37

notebooks finished: 3

dog decided that a phenomenal way to wake her human was by nibbling his arm. and you know what, i sleep through every alarm i set each morning, so i appreciate that well enough. only issue was that her time of strike was 4am. ough. not optimal, but hey! i'm awake!

today's schedule:

writing: i'll work on filling out a oneshot, and do some cultural worldbuilding for my novel.

reading: still haven't gotten around to finishing my flash comic... but i've got like, 30 pages left or something, so i'll be done in, haha, a flash. then i'll read the long game.

tv: like many queer eleven year olds, i discovered the heartstopper comics as a kid. the show came out a while later and watching it became my first act of defiance against crappy friends. it's special to me, though i've sort of outgrown it. anyways last year i was in a situation that left me no time to do things like watch a show, so i didn't get to season three properly. now i'm #free, the series has come to a close, and i'm rewatching it for a kid who (in a rather unconventional way, compared to the reasons this is usually the case) felt like he wasn't allowed to. it's honestly very true to what being a highschooler felt like. messy kids with good hearts making decisions from minds that haven't lived long enough to be stable yet. people dog on heartstopper for being unsubstantial or shallow, but i don't think so. i think it's a chance for queer people to have a cheesy romance drama, like straight folk have plentifully. it's not a genre we often get to occupy, and this one is cute. anyways, it's been a fun rewatch, and i really feel like i'm looking at my tenth grade self. good stuff.

french: articulating pain is a really important thing to practice!!! i have a good opportunity to work on that, and have found that i'm missing a few important words!!! i'll do a french journal entry to keep myself in the practice of writing.

latin: grammar revision

asl: alphabet + practice greetings

art: finish a character sheet

psych: therapy notes. call that being your own model

workout: taking it easy, and my legs are feeling much better, so i can officially exercise those muscles again. nothing too strenuous all around but it'll feel great to get back into movement like that.

cleaning: lightly go through the bottom floor, and finally strip my bed

Must be peaceful to be around you :3

-from your shy anonymous

less than optimal entry, i have pulled something quite full of nerves in my neck. yowch. i'll be taking it as easy as i can today, which means none of the cleaning i wanted to get at will be done... not what i wanted, mais c'est la vie. i try to never take health for granted, chronic pain really irons in that lesson, but i never considered how lucky it is to face forwards freely. it fucking rocks, dude, and i miss it. hopefully i'll recover quick, because this blows!

today's (easygoing) schedule:

reading: finish absolute flash!!! it's pretty solid. i love wally west, love the art, and the thing they're doing stylistically with the tought boxes?? hooo boy. sick as hell. the story's sort of bland, but no real complaints from me. nearly done a cool read.

art: digitally, the shadows on a portrait i did on my plane ride the other day. one of my weakest points artistically is light, and i'm trying to change that, because visually it is SO stunning and i want to understand it.

tv: i wasn't planning on watching more than one episode of the summer hikaru died, but i'm very much Stuck on the Couch, so i've got limited options here. i might watch some more of that one, which is phenomenal so far, and i might watch one of the twilight movies because i'm in the middle of them. well, actually, at the start. i'm in the middle if you only count the first three. or maybe i'll watch something else!!! i've been meaning to get to lala land, and my friends are all into jjk, and my to-be-watched list is almost as long as my to be read. i've got lots to pick from once i find the remote, haha!

psych: already finished this, but i'm proud and want to mention it, but i did finish reading a massive paper on ptsd today!!! huzzah!!!!!

french: i'll articulate the pain in my neck out loud i guess? i've never tried to explain pain in french before, beyond being like six and going <<j'ai un boubou :(>> and that's probably an important thing to be able to articulate in a language you need fluency in! so i'll really go ham on that lmao.

I AM BACK! sorry for disappearing! i've been lazing about in all honesty. sometimes you need to log off for a minute! i think i'll be switching to a different list format and approach to this blog. i don't actually update this blog with the things i actually study, which sort of defeats my goal with it!! i'll be focusing on telling you all about my daily language practice, media consumption, and the like. i'm happy to write here again, it's such a highlight of my days and i've missed it!!!

today's schedule:

reading: either crime and punishment (gets me all philosophical) or the long game (i've been writing a, albeit very different, queer sports story for a few years now, and i want to see what's been done in the genre, and what i'd like to take in a new direction) and finish the absolute flash, which i LOVE!!

writing: draft a chapter for my fic, and some miscellaneous novel worldbuilding. also, i want to get back on my words of the day! today it's inured.

french: talk to my dogs (good casual practice, lmao. one of them seems to understand that <<ouai>> and <<bien fait>> are positive terms) and some grammar revision

latin: grammar revision

asl: alphabet revision + practice signing my name quickly

psych: ptsd readings

art: shadow practice, character profile study to get back into traditional art. i haven't done any in two weeks because i didn't want to bring a sketchbook with my, direct count, 6 other notebooks. exciting!!

workout: my typical stuff (maybe lightened a little because i've fallen out of practice), and roll the HELL out of my leg, because it's really killing me.

i didn't post yesterday! oops! sorry friends, t'was busy. i've only got two days of vacation left and i'd like to really make the most of them. i'm here to relax, after all!! that's a skill i'm really working on. i've got a good feeling about today, and i'm excited to bring my plans about. yay!!! off i go friends!!!

yesterday sucked! and that's that. no fun in letting yesterday pull me down, so i'm going to make today swaggy as hell. i think i'm doing to much. i'm on vacation, so i should focus on relaxing a little more than i have been. let's see if i know how to do that!!

okay!!! today i want to get some things DONE. i want them out of the way. it'll be busy!!!! my lovely, lovely aunt is coming to visit us today, and she's one of my favourite people on earth, so i'm super excited. we might even get to go shopping!!! i buy a lot of presents, but rarely do i find myself buying a souvenir for myself. i just don't want a lot of things. but i really like souvenirs, and maybe i can find something today :) i feel like i deserve the treat. also, i'm desperate for a sugar cookie or a blondie. i'll report back on that.

today's schedule:

-therapy

-the happiness trap

-crime and punishment

-world building

-finish writing one fic, start another, character sheets for a third. lmao

-king's rising

-type up an advent poem!!!!

-work on my show

turns out, the house has some good latin tools, so my latin work is going to be off the charts out here. it's really nice to see family out here. i actually got to watch a video of me as a child, singing with my late grandmother. let's just say that i'm sure no one puzzled that i'd be a writer, because i said about three words in the whole video. it was more grandma singing. i can say with some confidence that i not know the lyrics to, get this, the anthem. really great stuff. it was a really sweet video to watch :)

today's schedule:

-the happiness trap!!!

-finish part one of crime and punishment, which i am LOVING. the tensions are so good. this is a fantastic vacation read, my intuition was so spot on.

-fic work + drafting

-writing prompt (one of my favourite ways to do this is with an atmospheric song; writing whatever the melody inspires. i love it.

-finish a hc list i started a while back. it's good character work, which is good practice. ppl discredit fanwork but there is genuinely so much to learn from it it's unreal. #cheatcode

-type up one of my advent poems, which are both fully written out in my poetry journal!!! yay!!!
