I Love Studying. I Love Writing. I Love Reading. I Love Learning Languages. I Love Doing Mathematics.

Study moods

Productive procrastination: having an essay due in a couple of days but reluctantly chooses to do homework instead.

Early bird: waking up at 6am and having a nice study session before school starts.

Late owl: stays up late to finish that one essay you procrastinated doing earlier.

In through one ear and out the other: reading the same paragraph five times and still wondering what it's about.

Slow but steady: when I make slow progress but I'm very proud of myself.

I don't want to: laying on your bed and continuously thinking that you will start studying in five minutes. Alternatively you stare at your book for a prolonged period of time.

The master of the free period: the times that you have a snack and a nice spot in the library and just study.

The Library didn’t only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren’t also dangerous, just because reading them didn’t make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader’s brain.

In today’s Korean culture class we learned about 민화 (Minhwa) and did wood crafting using Minhwa designs.

Also have lots of Korean homework to do and grammar to learn. Second year learning Korean and it’s starting to be a little difficult, but usually that’s when the fun starts 🤓📚🇰🇷

My bedroom

Books on the shelves, on coffee tables, on tables beside beds and sofas, on cabinets and underneath flower pots – the beautiful musty scent of pages old and new linger in every room along with the faint perfume of flowers and rosemary. She buries herself within the pages of literature, stuck inside the adventures and thoughts of each and every story she reads, the memories and lives of the characters felt like they were hers as well. Every fact and speculation she thoroughly peruses, taking in as much as she could digest.  The books are both her escape and her comfort.

Remember the beautiful feeling of touching the pages of an old book, wondering just how many people have lovingly anticipated the stories within its pages? Or that simple, musty and kind of historic scent of it? And also, the excitement of opening a new book and feeling like you’ve found a new companion? All these are quite quirky and simple but they are part of this wonderful love I have for books. It’s not only the stories, but the companionship and the “passport” I attain to far off lands and new people in adventures I know I could only have in books.
