we'll be back later, lovies

Monday after the holidays… ew. Plus I usually work more during this time of year, but I was sick all last week so… it was a rude awakening. (Especially after staying up late to read music men ;D ) I have lots of goals, but I fail at self study. Definitely want to write more (aka more than nothing), but I don’t think there’s enough hours in the day to adult as it is. Work a full day, make a healthy dinner, chores, pack a lunch, gym, hygeine, call family friends to maintain social bond… like there’s literally not enough time. How do people add kids into that mix idk.     My other thing (besides healthy gyming adultness and writing) is learning korean. My friend is a native and promised to take me there some day and somewhere along the line I fell in love with the food and entertainment and culture. The alphabet is stupid easy (you can learn in a half hour… it’s renowned for its ease and sense-making), and I got different apps to learn vocab, but haven’t found a fun interactive way to learn grammar and sentence structure so all my time spent watching korean dramas is wasted :P. And my friend is virtually useless on the learning front because he’s a bit of a poo. Anyway!! Happy 2016!

Oh, wow, Korean? I’ve heard written Korean is easy, yeah, but I feel like I’d still screw it up somewhere along the way, ha. Have you heard of the AJATT program? It’s technically “All Japanese All The Time” but some of the advice he has for learning languages – esp grammar and sentence structure, can be applied to almost anything! There’s one project in particular ((though he replaced it with a sleeker method some time later)) that’s supposed to help with sentence structure and grammar. Maybe you can adapt it for Korean? It’s not exactly fun and interactive, though.. I mean, there’s also the online diary Lang-8 if you want to try writing journal entries in Korean and getting feedback from native speakers, or finding penpals, perhaps ((do they still do penpals in this day & age idk)) Aaaa, I hope you do get to go!

Adult-ing is definitely time consuming! Parents deserve mad props for pulling it off somehow. Maybe you can steal time for writing, either by packing a week’s worth of lunches in advance or setting smaller daily goals? Good luck either way o_o

((I cut corners by not having any family friends trololol))
