definitely not getting emotional over the fact that even in the late middle ages and early modern era students were passing down books to one another because they were too expensive. the same object being shared over and over again by different people all in the name of knowledge. the same way it happened to me over and over again in my school years. i feel part of a neverending chain and there is something comforting in it.

Overview ｡･:*˚:✧｡

It was a pretty good day! Initially I a had very different day planned out; I wanted to run through my Leonardo Da Vinci presentation for Principals of Health Science and practice going over the speech notes and time the duration of the presentation, but I figured its fine, and I'm sure it'll be under the time limit. I also need to learn a Pixel art platform to upload graphics and textures to the app I'm developing. But after recently developing a growing passion and interest in the Korean language, I wanted to start studying for personal goals and for leisure, and it was nice doing that again! I set some goals for language learning (which I will make a separate post about later) and I can't wait to work on them!

Overview ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

I did everything I wrote on my to-do list I wrote down the night before! I've taken this weekend slowly, on account of having Monday and Tuesday off from school. I notice that I'm balancing academic and personal things pretty well again! I also wanted this day to be fun; there was a lot of stress and sadness in the air because of The U.S. President's inauguration... Nevertheless, I had a lovely day indeed!

A note to all the poets:

Don't bury yourself in poems, drying ink is not a coffin lid closing.

You are here, you are here.

Take a deep breathe and stop planning the funeral that isn't meant to happen yet.
