Rorganized - R Organized

19.09.20 / i haven’t painted much this month so i wanted to rectify that on this gloomy saturday. been feeling a bit off since last night so the quiet time this morning away from my phone and the news was much needed. i hope you’re well ♡

coffee & notes & alka-seltzer

(from insta) soooo... turns out i REALLY like painting! more than markers, or brush pens, or any of the other methods i normally use to make spreads... painting’s just super relaxing!

this is a #beforethepen of my usual study-and-grades-tracker spread i make every semester in order to keep track of how i’m doing. i think it came out really well! i’m super distractible, so i need to be extra-organized to make up for my scatterbrain tendencies 😅

again, this theme is inspired by @hayleyremdeart ‘s canyon theme from 2019!

08.18.21 - drew a little vision board a few weeks ago and honestly, i'm happy to say that 80% of the time, my current life is living up to it!

I would like to go to the seaside and just sit quietly

04.10.21 || moshi moshi ! recently i have watched a ted talk on how to learn any language in six months by Chris Lonsdale. i took some notes from the video and i thought it would be great to share these with all of you. here are 7 actions for rapid language acquisition —

listen a lot! it's called brain soaking. you put yourself in a context where you're hearing tons and tons and tons of a language and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it or not. what matters is you're listening to the rhythms, to patterns that repeat.

focus on the meaning FIRST before the words, focus on the body languages!

start mixing! if you've got 10 verbs, 10 pronouns and 10 adjectives you can say 1000 different things. language is a creative process. it doesn't have to be perfect, just has to work. remember how babies communicate - “me hungry eat’’ learn language like a baby!

focus on the core! any language is high frequency content. in English, 1000 words cover 85% of anything you're ever gonna say in daily conversation.

get yourself a language parent! who's somebody interested in you as a person who will communicate with you essentially as an equal but pay attention to help you understand the message.

copy the face. if you can look at a native speaker and just observe how they use their face, let your unconscious mind absorb the rules, then you're gonna be able to pick it up.

“direct connect’’ to mental images. when you hear the word fire, you think of smoke you go into that imagery and you become more and more skilled at just connecting the new sounds to those images that you already have into that internal representation. you prolly heard of associating a picture or a drawing when you're learning a new word in your target language. it means the exact same thing.

Day 52: having an essay consultation 👩🏻‍💻| Ig: thenglishmajor

October 29, 2022 - Saturday | Fall challenges 19/30 + 15/30

I wrote + compiled final exams today for 2 of my classes and it took me way too long… I feel like most of my time was spent formatting the exam rather than on the actual content lmao. Later I went for a brief walk and found some flowers that someone was still growing despite the fact we’re going into November soon (!!)

What can you de-clutter physically or emotionally to find more ease and simplicity honestly i need to get rid of all the cardboard boxes and packing material I have ‘in case I need it later’ personally it’s difficult for me to throw out things that even have a little bit of use. Emotionally I'm also a hoarder lol but honestly these days I’m less cluttered emotionally that I was in the past. Appreciating people when they make me happy and letting people know when they make me sad has given such a lightness. The simple question of 'How will they know if I don't tell them?' and voila~ no more baggage. Even if they don't listen to what I say, at least I know that I did what I could.

How was your day today was a mixed bag lol there was everything: productivity, wasting time, going on a walk 👍 then not feeling well and coming back early 👎 then thankfully I was blessed with sleep so I couldn’t spend too much time thinking abt it and feeling sad 😌✨when I woke up I did some reading and writing so all in all 7/10 day actually
