I haven't used memrise for a long time bc of Depression but i just logged on and its......so disappointing
memrise used to be my favourite language learning app for vocab drills (and easy sentence drills!) and was interesting when you had access to all the community made lists but its fallen down the same route of annoying to use without premium AND a reliance on AI.
i started a new language on there and WHY was the default voice a horrible ai voice??? there was even an actual (i assume) supplementary audio clip, so why wasn't that the default??

getting to prepare a CLIL science lesson for my 1st grade kids at cram school and i keep falling into rabbit holes about animal parts classifications because i dont want the kids to make incorrect assumptions just because its too difficult to explain, but there's the problem that theyre SEVEN and are NOT advanced in their english abilities and everything has to be adjusted for that
right now im in the hair v. fur issue and i am DEEP in entomology....

i have never felt particularly unsafe in taiwan, a little weird when old people stare, but for some reason since i came back last month i am finding myself having to deal with weird dudes more than i did before.
i also havent even been out that much! ive been heavy out of it and so have been spending a lot of time in my apartment or the school library, and yet! i felt unsafe for the first time at the convenience store by my hostel in feb and today ive been accosted by someone who stared at me on my way to a louisa (im at the stage where if its out of place i stare back) and then 10 minutes later he shows up in the store and tried to tell me something but i dont really know what. he's also just sitting at his table, thankfully not staring at me and i want to get up and get water but i dont want to bring anymore attention to myself.

i was not so delusional that I thought I would have no side effects in starting the process of getting off of antidepressants, but I wasn't prepared for perpetual nausea
#had withdrawal last year when I couldn't refill my prescription past a couple days bc the clinic was on vacation and I didn't know#but that turned into irritability and crying#I have so much classwork to do with the semester ending in a month but I literally cannot focus when I feel like shit#spending my time on my phone or doing art and honestly not feeling bad about it

i love travelling but i hate flying. booked a flight for a holiday taiwan has in a week and i have an overnight transfer and im very worried im missing some information some where about needing a pcr test or something (pcr tests on demand here are almost 150$...so doing it just in case is a financial commitment)
#this ticket was half the price of any other....#i finally decided on all this very late in the game#but the transfer is in xiamen china so there're exceptions there but#you know#2 trustable sources say i dont need a pcr test or have to do anything too troublesome as long as im not exhibiting symptoms#but i will be Worried until im checked into the second flight#anyways i do hope it works out for many reasons but#am excited for my first time in china even if its for less than half a day#my friend who came back from china before covid closed borders and who wants to go again is suspicious of the deal#reasonably

finally after a break from years of schooling, i have cracked the code for getting over my frustration with notetaking, mostly coming from not being able to make interpretations of content when reading something for the first time and the desire for perfectionism when writing
i make very sloppy notes in the spare pages of a random notebook, with shorthand, spelling mistakes etc, then i go back through and rewrite them in my proper class notebook giving me the piece of mind to think about the content and look extra info up

University offices for international affairs in Taiwan are incredibly unhelpful about explaining what you need to do visa processes etc etc
#im sure us ones are also shit but god#the visa process to change to a degree student has been absolute hell.#Horrible no good very bad#They give you the simplest explanation of the process but then when you try to do it its impossible#my head hurts I've been crying#the wifi in my new apartment isn't working#ive had to go back and forth bw Taipei and Kaohsiung three times in the last week bc no one bothers to explain anything#And I keep having to go back for official paperwork#and it really sucks not having any friends to confide in who'd understand the context and level of your upset#every good friend ive made has already left or doesn't talk to me anymore so that's cool. great

i got into grad school!!!!
i wasnt sure if this school was going to accept me, or if i would even choose them bc i wasnt head over heels w the city its in when i visited, but then they did accept and gave me a full tuition scholarship
its a program very relevant to what im trying to do in the long term, and it means i dont have to do anymore grad applications, which are a bane to my existence, i had turned my eyes back to going to school in germany but i would have to do a whole nother visa process again and all that, fomo is keeping me from hitting the positive reply but i’ll probably be staying in taiwan another 2 years!

nothing makes me realize maybe im not a nice person like the way i respond and deal w roommates
#i am very particular about how i live#and how the people im forced to share space w interact with me/also treat the space#i am also noncomfrontative but easy to anger#v passive aggressive#having so many roommates has made me realize /how/ vindictive i am#that and my need to have power over people are probably my biggest signs that i need therapy#of course here this is also exacerbated by the fact that theres more than likely some cultural misunderstanding happening here#bc americans typically are very forth right about problems#and i follow that#but i do it over text usually bc i dont want to actually interrupt what someone is doing and also i might be really angry already#and that would be a bad interaction#but literally no one else has made an outright complaint that i know of besides me#but again i am also very particular about noise cleanliness etc ESP noise#and respect as soon as i feel like ive been disrespected i am ready to draw blood#this one roommate in particular has been testing me to the point where its felt intentional#but it turns out he might really just be so so ridiculously unaware#men really be this stupid huh

Signing up to take a goethe inst proficiency test is on of the most arbitrary thing... they give you literally a single work day (not even a full one!) to submit a pdf form to an email, what the hell.....

so im auditing this grad level seminar as a benefit of being a language school student, and nothing has made me appreciate my us education more than listening to my classmates try to analyze academic literature and make 0 points
#academia is all about bullshitting#but bullshitting until you get to a relevant point#these men do not do this#one tries and i'll give him credit bc his uni background wasn't humanities#today the other girl in my class wasnt feeling well and the dude with the worst points is participating now#hate
