1.15.22 The theme of my January has been studying growth- through personal reflection, through the Medicinal Botany winter course that I’m taking, and through reading The Psychology Of Money. But it’s also nice to take comfort in the things that don’t change, like my favorite museum. Oh, and thank you for 1k!

Productivity challenge (14/100)
Resumed my online course from Harvard
Studied for my NET exams
Ordered a new pair of slippers coz I broke my old ones (for the third time lol)
Finding jobs is proving to be a task as we didn't have campus placements coz of the pandemic. *sigh* I'm exhausted.

Working in here today was bliss, there was barely anyone else around. Lockdown slowly lifting and the sunnier weather in London recently is bringing me hope.

I tried a new coffee place today that had been on my mind for a while and it was so, so good, I’m already looking forward to working there again. I did some reading for my essay on postmodern fiction, I bought some books, I walked in the sun. A good day : - )

Dark Academia self-care tips for the wintertime.
Embrace the beauty of the natural world as we enter into the depths of winter. There’s something wonderfully haunting about the barrenness, the muted saturation, the quiet. This season is like the stillness between the exhale and the inhale. Dwell in that space.
Try and get in the habit of waking up early, even if you only manage it on odd occasions. This time of year, the sun might rise later than you. Bask in the morning twilight.
Dress well and fully, even if you do not intend to leave the house.
After you wake up, go for a walk, be it brief of meandering. Do not listen to music, but rather hone in on the silence, the sound of your footfalls, the winter birds.
If you live near a park or otherwise pleasant natural area with benches, take with you a novel or poetry collection, and linger for a time to read. Remember to wear gloves so that you may turn pages without discomfort.
Open a window periodically throughout the day, even if it is cold. That brief blast of air will anchor you to the natural world.
Try to complete at least one chapter of reading per day. You must tend to your mind just as you tend to your body.
If you wish, you may compose handwritten letters to those you care for, or fear with whom you may be losing touch. A physical letter holds so much more weight than a text or email. Practice your cursive, make the letter truly lovely.
Eat dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate, tea rather than soda, whole bread rather than white.
Keep a handwritten journal of your upcoming tasks, daily aspirations and idle musings. Maintaining a written record of one’s obligations helps to remind oneself of the obligations’ true scales so that they do not try to expand and sprout teeth in the mind.
Work hard. This season is stark and unyielding, as are you. You were built for this. Face the storm head on.
As night draws in, play some classical music in the candlelight. Close your eyes, tip your head back, and lean into it. Let the song flow through you in haptic ecstasy.
Before retreating to bed, record some of the positive experiences brought to you throughout the day: from tasks you completed successfully, to poetic thoughts that stuck you, to birds you spotted on your windowsill. Kindle your childlike sense of wonder, for there is so much in this world to wonder at.
Breathe. Always. Feel it.

how to self teach a new language
have contact with this language by hearing it on movies, tv shows and music. this will help you with your pronunciation skills and with your vocabulary
learn vocabulary and grammar at the same time
read kids books and translate what you don’t know. it might be hard at the beginning, but keep trying
speak to yourself will help you like crazy. I like to pretend that I’m acting or that someone is interviewing me hahah see the magic happens
READ AND WRITE. this is as important as speaking. It used to be so hard for me to write in English and I felt awful because I could actually speak very well. But my writing skills were just a lower level than my speaking level. Thankfully it’s getting better with practice.
try to study a little everyday. if you don’t have time to do so, watch a movie or something, but have this contact with the new language at least once a day
be persistent because the processes of learning a new language can really piss you off. sometimes you will understand nothing and that will drag you down. the difference is to keep pushing until it doesn’t bother you anymore!
