~✧°+* 10/100 Days Of Doing Better*+°✧~

before i go to sleep,

languages include sign languages. Personally, I'm multilingual with 2-3 mother tongues of equal ability and usage and my dreams have no language beyond facial expressions and gestures.

Another late update. I hope I get into the habbit of posting these before bed again, it rounds off the day very nicely.

The exam went well! It took me a while because I struggle with staying focused a lot, but I believe we ended up with something presentable!

I didn't do too much besides the exam. In the evening I went for a walk and got Young Mungo. I wanted a Mieko Kawakami book but I want to read her writing in German and they didn't have the German editions. So I went with another one I've been eyeing for a while!

Positive things I did today:

kept the duolingo Spanish streak going

took my history of witch hunts exam

went for a walk

got a pizza (as a treat)

bought a book I've been meaning to read for a while

continued watching Peaky Blinders with my friend

Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 7hrs Steps taken: ~4.300

A flawless plan, as always

I blame the fact that I am so lost in the sauce on the amount of stress I am under at the moment. It's also gotten really hot again which my body is NOT built for.

I started looking for apartments, though. I'm planning to move to a bigger place with some friends early next year - we'll see if that actually works, but we for sure are motivated.

Positive things I did today:

cleaned the apartment

worked on the Hamilton essay

read before bed

Hours slept: ~7hrs Screentime: ~5hrs Steps taken: ~4.400

Reblog if you're queer, have ADHD, or hate the government.

Nobody needs to know which one.

Ah, the good old taxi driver. I get that one so frequently as well, especially since I dropped out of the teacher-trainee program in favor of a "regular" BA in English. Wether it's linguistics or literature, people struggle immensely with understanding what language might possibly be good for and how anyone might be able to monetize it. (I hate that everything is always about money)

visited a museum today that shows you how blind people navigate through their everyday lives (very interesting btw) and this one lady wanted to know what i'm studying so when i told her linguistics, she honest to god said "what can you do with that except become a taxi driver" 🤡 idk maybe work on those text-to-speech systems that we just learnt about?? yk for blind people??
