Updates !! Finally !!

updates !! finally !!

got the last of my grades back for the fall semester :)) very happy w them and my gpa (3.425)

enjoyed my classes a lot this term (with the exception of ethnomusicology due to the professor).

did better in dinosaurs than i expected tbh but it was a super fun class even if some of the work was hard.

overall a good first semester at my new school, made some friends, joined some clubs, and love my program so far :)

i feel like the only thing keeping me going rn is my academic goals, im so burnt out and tired all the time and can only convince myself to get through these last 2 weeks of the semester by thinking about the gpa i need to apply for scholarships abroad 😭

someone help me lock tf in. theres a month left of the school year and ive been behind all semester. thinking about taking one or two of my classes pass/fail and dont know if its a dumb idea but i dont want to tank my gpa

so im trying to study mandarin at least an hour a day (or at least everyday that im not at work) for all of january (i need to review soooo much before the school semester starts) and i forgot to make daily posts lol so ill post a week 1 summary this weekend then update everyday after that

wait did y'all know there's a ton of free language course resources for u.s. peace corps training??

taiwan isn’t a country

loaded ‘question’ that i probably shouldnt be the one answering if anyone wants to chime in… however they have their own government, their own currency, my student visa application would be to taiwan not china (even chinese citizens need permits/visas to enter taiwan and vice versa), and as far as i’m aware the majority of taiwanese people don’t consider themselves or want to be part of china so i will continue calling it a country. if any of my info is wrong someone feel free to let me know ofc
