(Summer Study Challenge) 8/22/2020: Imagine that you could fill a swimming pool with anything except water and swim in it. What would your pool be filled with? 

This is giving me too many flashbacks from competitive swimming, so I’ll stay away from the pool if it’s cool with you. ;) 

Nineteen credits and two honors seminars sure do hit you kinda fast, don’t they? I’ve started blocking out my days schedule wise and I’m loving it so far. It feels so much better than the pomodoro method for me. I’m usually allotting an hour and a half to each subject and an hour to do these posts should I have the time to do them. As you can see, I don’t post every day on here, and probably won’t. This semester is busy, busy! 

The first two days of classes went pretty well, and my internship is off to a great start. I’m enjoying my classes so far, but I still have two more that haven’t met yet. Also catch me trying to learn Latin myself - the textbook went straight to verb conjugation and I respect that but I have no idea if I’m doing any of this right. 

Hope you’re all doing well. Steady on!

The past two days have been two of the hottest days of the year, and as a fragile little Dane, I’m not doing well hahah. I feel like I’m melting, but I guess that it’s better than all the rain July brought. So the days have been used to just read and write! Also my dad brought home ice cream after he came home from his fishing trip, so that was really nice :)

🇩🇪 Diese Bücher haben verschiedene "Ursprunge". Ein paar habe ich als Geschenk bekommen, andere habe ich gekauft und der Rest habe ich vor zwei Jahren in dem "Zum Mitnehmen" Korb gefunden, der draußen der Unis Bibliothek steht.

.

Hier ist es sehr schwierig, Bücher auf Deutsch zu finden und es ist noch schwieriger, schöne oder interessante Bücher zu bekommen.

.

Diese Bücher sind jetzt in meine To-Read-List, ich hoffe, dass sie interessant sind!

.

🇦🇷 Estos libros los conseguí de distintas maneras. Un par como regalo, otros los compré y el resto los encontré hace ya dos años en la caja de libros "para llevar" que está fuera de la biblioteca de mi facultad.

.

Aquí es difícil conseguir libros en alemán y es aún más difícil encontrar libros que sean interesantes o lindos.

.

Estos libros están en mi lista para leer, espero que sean buenos!

.

🇺🇸 These books come from different places. A couple of them were gifts, I bought others and I got the rest from the "to take home" box outside the library at my university two years ago.

.

Here is difficult to find books in german but it's even more difficult to find nice or interesting ones.

🇩🇪 Mein Bullet Journals August Setup sieht so aus! Ich kann gar nicht zeichnen aber ich habe ein paar Zeichnungen von Topfpflanzen angefertigt und ich glaube, sie sehen gut aus! Ich bin keine Künstlerin aber ich bin damit zufrieden und möchte gern mehr üben 🤩

.

🇦🇷 Así se ve el Setup de agosto de mi Bullet Journal! No puedo dibujar para nada pero hice unos dibujitos de macetas y plantas y pienso que salieron bien! No soy una artista pero quedé contenta y me gustaría seguir practicando 🤩

.

🇺🇸 My Bullet Journal's august setup looks like this! I can't draw, like, at all, but I made some drawings of plants and pots and I think they turned out nice! I'm no artist but I'm happy about them and I would like to keep practising 🤩

Studyblr/Langblr Introduction Post:

About me:

☆ My name is Sofi

☆ I’m 22 years old

☆ I was born in Peru, but I moved to Argentina to study to be a german translator. And I’m almost done! I’m really close to getting my degree. 

☆ Languages: I speak spanish, english and german. And recently started learning korean.

Interests: 

☆ German/korean Vocabulary: It feels like I still have so much to learn

☆ Drawing: That’s a new interest and I’m still learning what I like and want to do with it.

☆ Bulllet Journal: That’s also new, and it’s paired with my need to be organized but also be able to experiment and draw and do things that bring me joy.

☆ Books, poetry, art: I used to write as well, but it’s been a while. Hoping to pick it up again!

☆ Stories: in any type and form. I like movies, songs, comics, books... anything that tells me a story that I can identify myself with 

Goals:

☆ Learn and incorporate more vocabulary.

☆ Let myself participate and not just watch from the sidelines. I want to be part of this awesome community and not just scroll through all its amazing posts. 

☆ Organize myself and make a better use of my time

☆ Help others that are also learning german and hopefully motivate them to improve their language level

☆ Make new friends along the way!

I heard this song today. 

And I felt weird, but couldn’t quite pinpoint the source of this feeling so I kept reading about the singer and the song until I found the spanish version “Un poco de paz”. What a weird feeling! I was suddenly a kid riding on the back of my grandfather’s car after school and hearing to the radio. It’s so funny how music and memory work.
