Señor de las hojas usted no lo sabe, —quizá no lo sepa, o quizá me descubrió la insensatez de mirarlo de lejos, temblando— Usted no sabe que si lo miro veo las espinas de su vida, sus árboles verdes, también sus momentos de florecer, su biología, su fotosíntesis, su perfección tan imperfecta y la histología que podría compartir si yo dejara de mirarlo a lo lejos y así me camuflara en su corazón tan verde y ecológico…

sousnosdrapeauxがあなたの投稿に返信しました “@sousnosdrapeaux get out while you can”
russian cases are the worst you have avoided a tragedy my bro
yeah but last time i checked the elections weren’t rigged by the Japanese
#tbd;#i only just realized i've never written 'shoo-in' in my life so its probably wrong lmao#i've got 50/50 odds of surviving in a MITHC-verse#tho apparently we're leaning towards a nazi takeover of the entire continental united states so#¯\_(ツ)_/¯#beikokujin

as this is my last year as an undergrad and i plan on moving to honolulu for grad school part one, i’ve come up with some language goals:
Across the semesters
write more because we all know there’s no end to learning english. even if it is your native language
practice spanish. practice in mexico. i’m literally two hours from the border and i need to get this down
fu cknig RUSSIAN. everything. study like hell. quizlet is a friend
fall semester:
memorize katakana and hiragana again for real and the n don’t forget it this time
maybe ask phan for the kanji they learned in 101
[old person voice its been six years]
not even kidding thats how long its been since i last seriously attempted japanese it will be a party
@ me stop being stupid hawaiian is easy just learn sentence structure
and pronouns. wtf @ hawaiian pronouns
maybe attempt chinese if you get bored but also, don’t die
SPANISH!! !
write in russian cursive. i’m already starting to forget it
spring semester:
if you can’t write an essay in hawaiian are you even trying
and while we’re at it throw it back to freshman year and write an essay in spanish
russian vocab is also good. do that too
