hardly working™

13 days ago I was at the city library in Ghent and today I’m in lockdown, life is wild

i’m currently on a winter break and i decided to start studying japanese again. i took one course of japanese in high school like 2 years ago and i’ve forgotten EVERYTHING so we’re back to the very basics. thankfully i saved all my course material from that course because i can now finally find it useful!

my 2020 month at a glance. guess the dates for april-june will probably be altered. i’m still a fan of this spread though. i found a new editing software today- it’s completely free and i’m so excited ab it. maybe i’ll start back up that YT channel now that i have free time

*here is somewhere in the middle of nowhere in a rural area in Germany called das Sauerland. more horses than people, so I’m good

Despite being forced to stay inside my apartment, I luckily got my book mail before this mess started and I’m enjoying my currently readings all day long. I started with If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio, I wanted to take a break from classics and complex readings with a fast paced and intriguing mystery. I like underline and write down after sentences and words I’ve found fascinating and full of poetry for my own writing exercise.

For some reason having to stay home makes me actually WANT to study... or maybe I just thoroughly enjoy pneumology 😍🤦🏼‍♀️

a new month so hopefully new motivation :-)

I've never found schedules work for me, I prefer to set myself a bunch of mini deadlines in the lead up to one big deadline and try to meet them as best I can. If I miss one though, I won't beat myself up over it, I tend to manage my time well enough to give myself wiggle room

a new normal: studying, sitting in the sun, animal crossing, & journaling

messy essay plan for english literature class. working from home has slowed down my brain, and I’m not in the mood to write essays, but I’m forcing myself (not in a negative way) to keep studying and not playing animal crossing, so today has been pretty productive.

Please take care of yourself and wash your hands. Stay safe guys 🙏

tomorrow is my first day of online classes which is probably going to be super awkward and filled with problems rip. the country’s also going into a lockdown of some sort in the next week, but luckily for me, I rather like staying at home haha. this is the last spread from october 2018 when I was preparing for my hsc.

these are some old photos, but it was nice to find them in my photos today! hope y’all are doing well and taking care of yourselves out there!

i had a few lectures to cover today, including biological mechanisms of ageing, and two sociology lectures about social support and formal and informal care. there was a little about isolation and loneliness and i thought about how it’s so relevant especially as the government are urging over 70s to socially distance themselves for 12 weeks, which is going to have a profound effect on both their physical and mental health.

Okay bai! 🤍✨
