am i turning my life around or am i just having a manic episode
#internship mentor for this summer asked if id be interested in a longer-term project with their lab continuing into my senior year#i got really excited and asked if i could do a thesis (which id given up on bc im not in a lab at my school) and that is an option#and now ive asked my fav prof to be my on-campus advisor and we're gonna have a zoom meeting and ill sign up for indepedent study credits#and ive mostly picked my classes for the coming semester and im SO EXCITED. maybe TOO excited#like yes im passionate about my field and my work but ive had a total mood shift. mayhaps my awful therapist was right abt the bipolar#been doing sooo many tasks lately. reaching out to ppl i hadnt spoken to in a while. not sleeping much#ugh. when everything goes right for me i get suspicious

Try not to make Sebastian have heated eye contact with another man challenge (Impossible edition)
#my art#wip#sebastian michaelis#black butler#kuroshitsuji#wolfram gelzer#green witch arc#sebwolf#I have a completed seb@gni piece scheduled to post tomorrow#I ONLY CENSORED IT SO THIS DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE TAG#I get so mad when things are mistagged but its so insane of me because if I just. click on the tag I won't get “related” type posts.#Anyways in my next art thats posting tomorrow I talk a bit about how I'm hoping to release art every Wednesday until this season ends#and this is one of the future pieces.#my only problem is I'm being so fucking ambitious with this bad boy. It's gonna be animated. there's going to be cherry blossoms-#there's going to be multiple camera angles. Ciel and Sulli are going to be in a TREE#I don't know how she got up there ngl. she's resourceful or smth.#I don't know why I have the audacity to attempt animation in a little over a week when the seb@gni demon sleeping art took me-#6 hours of TRACKED TIME. Meaning the time I had that open and was working on it.#I'm such a slow artist but I don't have classes this semester because I;m an idiot. So I decided to make this challenge for myself to keep-#me busy. So I stop spiraling so hard.#You guys are like my diary btw. my brother can only hear so much about my insane ramblings before he checks out of the picture.#Actually. I'm not done talking about this piece. This one is really special to me because it's based off of my memories with my parents.#I won't go too much into it since I've already written at least an essay but they moved out of our old house when I went off to college-#during covid. and now we don't have a cherry blossom tree and I really miss it. I have so many memories of it.#God. the cherry blossoms. the rose bushes by the fence. the peonies on the right side. the lilacs on the left. the lavender bush-#my mom ran over with a lawnmower and somehow made it grow way better.#the bridal wreath lining the front. god I miss that place.#now some bachelor lives there and has not taken care of the garden at all One day I know I will drive by to see he will have ripped it allu#OKAY NOW IM REALLY DONE#Yapping

I keep drinking coffee thinking it's gonna make me Productive and then instead of doing the work I actually have to do I just compulsively make spreadsheets :(
#my homework is. not done#but!!! i just realized if i take 2 spanish classes i can have a russian/spanish major instead of just russian#(it's complicated but this would leave me with: double major languages and history with a joint major in asian middle east studies)#(plus a minor in religious studies and concentration in islamicate studies)#first i gotta: relearn spanish for like the third time#but it's ok i'm hopping thru spain in less than a month so i should proooobably do that anyway#man when i was touring colleges my mom was like really dismissive about the idea of double majoring and now i'm here like#How Many Things Can I Stack Up To Get Big Number On Transcript#aaaaaaaand because of ames requirements i did the dumb thing and ended up learning persian while my spanish is still kinda iffy#итак совершилося то что я пытался предотвратить as they say#so i'm just gonna have to study two languages at once next semester... or just keep going thru the cycle of relearning them abt every year#my russian is a big girl it can survive on its own but i now gotta feed the babiessssss#tho ig what this kinda cyclically learning and forgetting spanish has taught me is like#languages are less like babies and more like those lil desert plants that wither up when they don't have any water#they might look dead but they're nearly impossible to kill completely#and will bounce right back after a lil care n patience. i just gotta like.... water em#the one thing standing in my way is ideological opposition to my spanish textbook#i have to pay $200 for access to a *website*#*i don't even get a book just a shitass ebook*#but it's ok one of the spanish profs likes me i think? i think she would let me skip the intro lit class#only problem is it was Genuinely Hard for me to follow along when i audited advanced lit... 90% of the class was heritage speakers#tho ig like. having taken a class meant for native russian speakers should help w learning to survive that kinda thing#genuinely i think i can do it#just gotta make that my goal. study. do it for zapata#and if i wanna go into translating... having good spanish should help right? like if i finally get b2 spanish?#yeah. if i could do kazakh history for native russian speakers i can do spanish lit for heritage spanish speakers. it's equivalent enough#but ok i'm gonna visit my buddy in spain who did nearly the exact same shitass majors combination as me#tho i think he did spanish/arabic for his language major and just Happens To Also Be Fluent In Russian cuz he's Like That#it's ok he's two years older than me i have two years to become that cool#he can tell me what to do

i'm homeee i was gonna go home straight away after my presentation bc i didnt get any sleep tonight but i kept pushing myself and stayed to work on & turn in an assignment and to go to my second least favourite seminar this semester
#honestly considering how under prepared we were the presentation went well!#im not sure why but only a handful pf people were in class today so it was extremely chill#however my (extremely unserious) uni crush of the semester Was there and sat straight across from me and i was running late this morning so#i was just super sweaty and gross and felt terribly awkward#i cant really get a read on her sometimes i feel like shes very conscious of me and then sometimes i feel like she might actively dislike m#which definitely means im the one overly conscious of her and projecting haha <3#actually the presentation went well until the last bit when a student who i havent heard say anything all semester not even in group#projects#decided to pipe up abt how he doesnt think care work should be compensated bc its a personal choice and if u chose not to do care work#including self care this would have no repercussions#which im sure a lot of people feel like#but this is a gender sociology course lol where have u beeeen all semester#or for the entire duration of ur studies for that matter lmao#maybe he majors in smth else but for at least this semester hes been provided empirical research of these societal dynamics i dont#understand how u can hold this opinion after all that like u should literally know better#not even the opinion on wether financial compensation of care work is an apt solution thats for sure a debate worth having but the sentimen#that care work is a personal choice w no gendered social dynamics at hand#thats just not true at the end of the day#anyways then i got lunch w a girl from the same seminar shes a sweetheart <3#and she thought id just joined this class bc thats how little i show up 😶🌫️#and that was my day at uni :)#well plus one class afterwards but it was entirely uneventful!#sentiment*#at play*** omg#theres so many typos in the tags im over it

I know I'm a broken record. But really... so often, the problem a learner encounters when they ask "I haven't been making any progress! What am I doing wrong?" is just... they haven't studied enough hours to make the progress they're expecting to.
A person wonders why after a Japanese 1 college class (which usually covers half of Genki 1, or part of N5 at the most), is wondering why they can't understand anime: well beginners can't! They have not studied anywhere near the amount of material they need to, to understand anime, and no where near the amount of hours it takes! It's going to take 1000+ hours of study, probably closer to 2000-3000 hours for most people. Or, reaching at least N3, to start understanding some anime, and N3 takes an estimated ~1,000-1,700 hours of study. For a very good understanding of anime, aiming for N1 on the JLPT, takes an estimated ~2,500 to 4,500+ hours of study. Of course a few hundred hours of a semester of a class, and self study, is not going to get you to the point of understanding anime.
A person self studies for 200 hours in a year, or takes a year of French classes, and wonders why they're only A2 in French: A2 takes an estimated ~180-200 hours, but intermediate B1 and B2 take MANY hundreds of hours to reach! B1 takes an estimated 350-400 hours of study, and B2 takes an estimated 500-600 hours of study. And that's depending on if the estimates include only class hours, or class hours and expected self-study at home (with expected self-study hours these estimates can double).
Someone said once on a language forum that each increase in language level is exponential - so it takes a short amount of time to reach A1, twice the amount of time to reach A2, twice the amount of time of A2 to reach B1, twice the amount of time of B1 to reach B2 etc... and I mostly agree. So each time you hit a big milestone (like a level in a language), expect it to take twice as long to hit the next significantly big milestones. So if you achieved A1, give yourself twice as much time to reach A2, and then twice the amount of time it took you to reach A2 to reach B1. Etc.
(there are other issues too: if you're self studying then you might be repeatedly studying the same material and not progressing onto anything new - that would cause a stall in progress and I did that often as a beginner, if you're self studying then you might not have figured out the ways you learn the best - and that can cause delays in progress because you're sometimes using ways that don't stick well for you, if you're studying in a class then you might not be practicing any of the things you're learning - and the lack of practice is making you stall - such as learning new vocabulary but not actually practicing speaking or reading anything, but these problems are a matter of planning your study to do something new regularly and practice regularly - which can be fixed on your own or by talking with a teacher or tutor or another learner who's accomplished the goal you're aiming for).
#rant#its just like... a lot of people will say 'i used duolingo for 2 years and didnt learn to speak spanish!'#and its like... well speaking spanish like a tourist is going to take at LEAST around 200 hours#and if you've only been doing duolingo 15 minutes a day for 2 years... you might not have reached 200 hours yet. Even if duolingo is#teaching everything you need (which it might not necessarily be doing)#or learners are in a class but doing no study outside of class. and it's like... well a class is only so many hours a semester.#to reach certain milestones you'll need a certain amount of study hours. and if you want to reach the milestone faster#then studying outside of class is going to be the only way to get those hours faster than your class#s pacing

every day i get closer to making a ragatha fansong myself
#look idk how to make music#let alone original stuff#but i DID take a poetry class a few semesters ago (LMAO) and thats close enough right#and i like to think i can sing. maybe#im so tempted but i already have so many projects#and i wouldnt have a place to record it#well. hm#ok this post is just live feed of me talking myself into doing something that i will never finish even if i tried#but like. hey why not think about it#for enrichment#anyway i think she needs a song#fun fact by ep 2 (not counting 3 and 4) she actually has the most words of dialogue#so the fact that other characters have so many songs and as far as im aware she has none. its so strange to me

so bored in class i've written 500 more words of my fic. hashtag girlboss
#user: gossippool 😝#idk why but i simply cannot pay attention in this seminar as compared to the other ones i'm taking#also there are no tutorials so this seminar counts for participation#but there are so many people in this class and the classroom layout is just not productive at all for discussion#:/#that will be a complaint that goes into the feedback form at the end of this semester i guess#like there's no reason why this module can't have two different seminar slots#that's what my prof did for another module last sem and she also forced all of us to sit in the first two rows of the classroom#so we were more engaged
