so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
i'm currently reading dune (frank herbert), blindness (josé saramago) and little women (louisa may alcott) :D
i like to read two to three books simultaneously because it keeps me way more entertained. besides, each book have a different category in my daily routine lol. my edition of dune is too heavy so it's my read-in-bed-to-relax-and-disconnect-book. blindness is my take-everywhere-with-me-specially-in-public-transportation-so-people-think-i'm-smart-book and little women is my current reading-in-my-target-language-book.
dune is the one i'm most enjoying! i thought it would be too dense, and it is because of the complex world building, but i'm having a really good time! the chapters are short which makes the reading fluid for me.
blindness is incredible. josé saramago is truly clever. he choses the words to build he sentences so magnificently
little women is... interesting. i have a hard time with this type of literature, like jane austen, i don't know why. i love the characters and the movie, so it makes me motivated enough to keep going.
let me know if you have read any of these! <3

Idk if this is common knowledge, but since I’ve been seeing a lot of celebration at the return of zlibrary, I want to make sure that everyone knows that pirated books can destroy an author’s career. If you are pirating works by indie authors who are in Kindle Unlimited, Amazon considers that a breech of exclusivity agreement and can shut down your account. Forever. You can’t get a second account. And they won’t pay out the three months of earnings they owe you.
Traditionally published authors have also been struggling to get contracts, advances, and publisher support, and this shit can ruin it for them too. For the love of god use a real library. Get a KU subscription. Ask an author if they’ll send you an arc! Wait for a sale! Keep pirating your D*sney movies or whatever but there are so many ethical, cheap/free options for books. You are not hurting The Man, you’re hurting someone who is just trying to pay their bills.
rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:

i am doing my best with the knowledge and resources i have.
i do not need to judge myself harshly and should treat myself with kindness.
it is natural to have limitations; not every limit can be or needs to be altered, and alteration takes time.
it is not my fault that others neglected me, even if i didn't speak up for myself.
i am doing my best with the knowledge and resources i have.
day 6/ 21st of september / wednesday
rise and shine! i'm back after 5 days of no productivity :P saturday and sunday had lots of things to do so i didn't study. on saturday i went out to have dinner with my parents and my parents' friends, and during the day i ran errands. on sunday i had lunch at my aunt's house and we spent the day there. monday and yesterday i didn't study on my free time. only went to class and had to work afterwards.
but now im back!! and now im fully commited to this challenge!!
i think that instead of making my to do list on this posts, im gonna come back in the end of the day i write what i did. it makes me a bit sad to see twice the things i wasnt able to finish. on my proper list in my planner and here. but this is just me being silly. im still learning.
kisses and cheese see ya later <3
No bestie, you will NOT be able to finish that 'small' chapter if you start it at 10pm one night before.
I just want to read a few books per week, learn multiple languages, and a couple of instruments, become more proficient at advanced mathematics, write essays and books, exercise regularly, sleep eight hours per night, eat really healthily, have an active social life including enjoying all of my close relationships, and be really sexy. Is that really so unreasonable
day 4 / 16th of september / friday :D
good morning from south america, my beautiful friends!
every week day i have my internship job so im not gonna add that on my to do list anymore
things i need to get done:
math problems (college applications)
physics problems (college applications)
thins i want to get done:
excel course
see you later :D have a nice day and dont forget to drink water and put on sunscreen!
so yesterday i obviously did all my internship work and i was also able to plan my essay. havent written it yet however thats what weekends are made for. i did my portuguese test, (mostly text comprehension problems) but i didnt manage to finish my math set of problems. gonna do it today.
and i did a little of my excel course :D
yesterday was a nice day. hopefully today will be better!
i made a decison as well; wanna try to use my rest time while working or studying to learn something new or getting better at some other skill. like practicing chess or drawing. maybe give another shot to morse code. the thing is, when i have a pomodoro session, which i like because is the way i track my time, and it ends, during my break i usually decide to watch 10-20 minutes of an episode of a tv show or something. but its extremely hard for me to stop! and then get back to work! ive been trying for mooonths. i use an adapted version of the animedoro method and its just not really working for me because i have a problem with limits. so maybe i should stop and only watch tv shows during my free time. gonna try today a skillmodoro or whaterver name ill come up with today and tell you in the future if it has been helping me. if it doesnt work im not sure what im going to do :/
another thing i wanna try in the future is posting pictures of my desk, notebooks, etc. a goal for the short term future :)

day 2 / 14th of september/ wednesday
• internship work
i decided to do this 100 days of productivity challenge because ive been feeling like a zombie lately and coincidentally a lot of this kind of post have been coming up in my feed. so let's try it!
day 1 / 13th of september / tuesday
things i need to get done:
• all of my internship work
• finish the chapter im reviewing for my uni lecture
• organize my f*cking room cause i cant find anything in this mess
things i want to get done but thats ok if i dont because im coming down with something which is making me extra tired:
• study math for college applications
• read that tree book i'm currently reading or read that book about revolutions that i haven't started yet
i'll be back when the day is over to check what i managed to complete!
see ya later kisses and cheese <3
little note: this is also a little exercise for my writing skills in english because it's been a while since i wrote anything in this language. if you notice any spelling or grammar mistakes please!!! let!!! me!!! know!!!! portuguese is my mother tongue so it would be interesting if i could practice some other language since i dont have the time anymore to actually study my target languages :/ (french and spanish and i would always consume some material with more advanced words in english)

the feeling of learning is legitimately so cool. there’s a little whoa sound effect that plays in your brain whenever you read a sentence that expands reality for you a tiny bit
