and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

You’re never too old to learn something new. Never stop studying. 

I've been having an extremely productive week and I'm scared I'll crash but I'll ride this high while it lasts #no_regrets

↳ 09.09.22. / Friday

Oh I am definitely gonna have to re-learn how to take nice desk/study pictures. Anyways, today I’m reviewing my early TESOL program notes to refresh myself on some grammar and sneaking in a quick DuoLingo session. I don’t use Duo as my primary study material for any language, but I find it particularly helpful for Mandarin because it forces me to read/review characters every day. I simply don’t have time every day to hit my textbooks the way I want to, but I can always do a Duo lesson or two. Also, I am competitive and want to get to a year-long Duo streak lol.

one thing i really enjoy doing in my journal is writing down beautiful poems, passages from novels, and film reviews that i come across. a few weeks ago, i watched la chimera and it was one of the best movies i've seen in the past decade. i'm still thinking about it, weeks later.... beautiful movies beget beautiful film reviews so i wrote down an excerpt of an nyt review🏺

While studying for this class right before exams, every time i felt like i needed a break i would make a tiny drawing.

Now my book is full of this type of lil guys.

I am once again going through this book and thought that I'd share the doodles that kept me sane(debatable) during exam season.

hi. will it ever end

A nap can do wonders for productivity!

Woke up early to study, but I was soo unproductive. Took a nap, ate lunch, and one green tea later, I am so much more focused. Hoping to finish a big chapter today <3

3/100 days of productivity
