mother raised me just right. I'm exactly the type of person –the type of bomb– she expected of me.

i destroy things and i ruin people and i love all of them. i love them just in the right intensity to kill them. how stupid was i to think that i could be someone normal and good? I'm her daughter for fucks sake. we don't have any good in us and, even better, we don't get the famous "lucky try" people talk about.

Summer Language Plan

OKAY ! So I’ve got quite a bit of plans for language learning this summer and I was thinking if I post it to tumblr then hopefully it’ll be more than just wishful thinking. SO without further ado, here are my plans. 

French (reach B2)

finish Dracula by August 31 (6 pages per day minimum) 

at least one hour of active learning a day (grammar practice, vocabulary, etc) 

at least five new words each day

write 3,000+ word story

German (reach B2)

at least one hour of active learning a day (grammar practice, vocabulary, etc)

at least five new words each day

translate one poem/song/paragraph a week

Italian (reach A1)

at least one hour and a half of active learning a day (grammar practice, vocabulary, etc)

at least seven new words a day

What does active learning look like?

I’m glad you asked, self. While reading books and listening to music is great for language learning, unless there are comprehension questions at the end, I would consider it passive learning. Here are some active learning exercises that are (hopefully) more interesting than just doing plain textbook drills. 

write a sparknotes summary for each episode of a TV show or book you’re engaging with. Bonus points if show/book is in a different language than your summaries, because that requires you to interact with new vocabulary.

find x number of vocabulary terms then weave them into a story or poem. Doesn’t have to be long or complex

film or voice record yourself talking about a topic that means a lot to you, then note down what words and grammar you have yet to learn

The thing you are most

afraid to write,

Write that.

being an older sibling is like. you've never known a life without me. mom yelled at me and it taught her she never wanted to yell at you. I painted my room purple and grey and then you did too. we live in the same house but I haven't spoken to you in months. I don't know your favorite color. I saw it was going to rain so I picked you up from school on my way home so your books wouldn't get wet. i was so worried when you woke up sick when you were three. you don't remember being sick. mom and dad made their worst mistakes with me and I'm glad they didn't make them with you. I'm doing everything for the first time so you won't be in the dark. I don't know any of your friend's names anymore. I used to know them all. if something happens to mom and dad you won't have to worry because everything will fall to me. you don't like to be home alone but even if you don't see me just knowing I'm there makes you feel better. at least that's what mom told me. you still give me jars to open for you because you can't quite get them. I only see you during dinner. i'd never even think about missing one of your concerts. I stand at the counter when I eat and now you do, too. when offered a selection of books you picked the same one I did when i was your age. I'm terrified you compare yourself to me. I love you. I don't know if you like me. I want you to. mom says dinner's ready
