Today was a good day. I had a slow morning, went to class, worked out..

I haven't posted in an insanely long time but I've just had a constant avalanche of stuff to do I've never really found the time to post. I've just paid my ucas application so I've found a little breathing space to post.

had a really productive day and even still managed to stick to my new routine :)! I study norwegian and read two articles for my phd every day and it really pushed my project forward :D!

Tuesdays are for copying notes from my favourite course – Theory and History of Translation. Definitely happy for how they're turning out and how much I'm interested in the subject. I decided to include a little time-lapse of my writing process (under the cut), and a picture of my generous breakfast – composed of a slice of home-baked ricotta plumcake, a mug of English Breakfast, and some tea biscuits.

Here's the timelapse :) My handwriting looks neater from this angle I believe?

❄️ Day 3 of My Winter Studying Challenge ❄️

3rd December - What is your least favourite thing about winter?

this is kinda a new thing but this year i haven’t really enjoyed how early it gets dark. i don’t know why but this year it’s had an especially big impact on me, probably because i’m not in school anymore so it kinda effects my day a bit more

// autumn studying challenge ; day fifteen

if you could magically get rid of something about autumn, what would it be?

definitely the unseasonably warm weather! i want it to be coat and sweater weather already, and every time it’s warm this late in the year it just reminds me how much we’ve messed this planet.

things are coming together for my paper, and it’s exhausting, it’s satisfying, it’s exciting

[mango-studies]

Seven nights in a row was tough, and I’m oh so glad to be on the other side of it. 😅 • Also I don’t know how I got from a clueless PGY1 who was so intimidated by critical care to a PGY3 who can deal with severe ARDS patients and who’s teaching others about med, but I guess that’s what growing is! • Tell me what’s happening with you! I feel like I’ve been in a completely other world in the past week 😂

the japanese students

characters copied down with your favorite pen

the vibrant green of high-quality matcha

writing hiragana, katakana, and kanji until the symbols are familiar

strolling through a botanical garden

practicing suffixes, learning the social contexts that determine when different honorifics should be used

the satisfaction of seeing your grasp on the language improve

studying ancient poetry, reading pages of the man’yōshū

a scattering of cherry blossom petals in your hair

watching your favorite shows, recognizing the words and phrases you’ve learned and picking up new ones

recognizing the global influences of japanese culture

busy city streets and neon lights

picking up takeout from your local sushi restaurant

learning to cook authentic dishes

a stack of manga paperbacks with beaten-up corners and broken spines from each re-read

coming up with mnemonics to improve memorization 

relishing the challenge of talking with a native speaker

the gently curved roofs of traditional architecture

organized notes, the title written at the top of the page in multiple alphabets

celebrating the theater traditions of noh and kyōgen

analyzing the intersections of japanese culture and contemporary western influences

studying various periods of history, from the Heian to the Meiji

some japanese notes and the cliché little bujo spread i made. i love the washi tape!! i’m trying to incorporate more positivity into my everyday life. not forcing it though, just like trying to find something good in small, ordinary things. autumn is actually full of those when you stop to look.
