first week back

the first half of this week was so productive for me! I finessed my language studying schedule and have decided to focus on French, Spanish and Korean and then passively study Chinese and Irish (and by that i mean studying them when i feel like it rather than reaching a weekly goal lol).

the past 3 days tho i didn't study at all but this week and getting back into studying my languages went a lot better for me than i expected so i'm happy either way :-)
