Notes from My Desk #18 | 13/7/26
Today I finished the theory for one chapter of one of my two social studies courses, so that was some progress. I also checked the instructions and intro for one of my chemistry courses again, because i had to switch to the updated course to have enough time to complete the course (which is literally the same, except a few lass graded assignments, which are now replaced by a 30 minute exam at the end of the course. sounds like bs to me, but okay).
Kind of a hard day focus-wise, I didn't study as long as I hoped or should have. Some positives though: I finished one of the Thomas Mann novellas I was reading for a few days, and I added some new words to my Greek vocabulary on Anki, because I ran out. I have like 5,000 words in queue, but it takes time to add them to the database, and it's just going to be a long project.
On the subject of Greek, I'm also powering through the anthology I'm reading. I'm halfway the notebook I'm using right now, and after finishing it I'll go through it again and add the translations I need. If you guys are interested I can make a flip-through after it's done!
These past days I got addicted to sudoku again, and also codeword puzzles - that's a new one! I wasted a lot of time on these things, that granted I enjoyed, but didn't really want to spend my time on. Also the weather just doesn't get good here this July apparently, it's just constant low pressure area.
Thank you everyone for interacting with this blog and keeping me coming back! Some days get a bit overwhelming so I don't always manage daily posts, but it's the goal, the dream, and I'll keep coming back to it eventually every time.
