Something great happened!!
Yesterday I was in an online lecture about qualitative research, everything was pretty normal until I noticed that I was writing in English instead of Spanish. I'm so excited because I finally reach the point where I can think in English.
So, today was a really productive day. I studied for more than 4 hours in a row, without considering the lectures that I had in the morning, there's my forest at the end of the post, it helps me to feel productive when I see the trees, someone else feels the same way?. Also, I started a future learn course about dementia today and I'm super excited about it. A miracle happened today, I had a psychoanalysis group test in which for the first time this semester my group help me to answer instead of being mute on the breakroom. In the other hand I didn't sleep too much last night but who cares, I'm proud of myself.
I hope every one of you is safe and have a nice dayđ«
Really struggling this week but we have to remember to be kind to ourselves. If the only thing you achieved today was getting out of bed and taking a shower, i'm proud of you and you should be too.
quarantine day 32, classes are still suspended, tons of readings before class resume, a lot of water for hydration, caffeine to keep awake

A BOOK, A BUJO, AND AN ART JOURNAL = the essentials
I read a post that says, 'coffee is the most important meal of the day' and I could not agree more.
Ps. Working on my homework âĄ

iâve been saying this to myself this morning and iâm going to say it to you in case you need to hear it: you are not here to be physically attractive. that is not your purpose. you are here to learn new things and be kind to people and listen to your favorite music and pet cute dogs and read big books and drink good coffee. you are here to see beauty in the world and create it when you canât find any. you are not here to impress people with how you look.
1. Remind them of all the kind and thoughtful things theyâve done for you, and for the other people in their life.
2. Remind them of times when theyâve pushed ahead, and kept on going, even though it was hard.
3. Remind them of the times when things worked out eventually, and their efforts were rewarded, and they reached a personal goal.
4. Remind of the funny things theyâve said and done, and the times when youâve laughed, and shared some awsome memories.
5. Show them they are worthwhile and are valuable by doing something special that makes them feel theyâre loved.
here are a few study tips on how to learn a new language đ»âșïž:
1. start speaking as soon as possible. even when you havenât learned too many words yet, the most important part of studying a language is not being afraid of using it. so download apps like hellotalk to get in touch with natives! of course, itâs even easier if you already have friends or family members speaking your target language.
2. study the most frequent words! there are tons of free so-called âfrequency listsâ online that prevent you from studying vocabulary you donât need in the long run. with only 500 of the right words you could already have basic conversations!
3. get a lot of native exposure - through podcasts, videos and movies. there are so many recommendations on the internet, no matter what language youâre learning. the earlier you start immersing yourself in native material, even if itâs childrenâs books, the faster youâll find yourself having fluent conversations!!
4. keep a weekly or daily diary to practice writing in your target language. even if itâs only composed of basic sentences, itâs the best way to use the vocabulary youâve learned!
qotd: what language would you like to study next? i really look forward to studying Italian once I have a little bit more time!! đ
