Sometimes You Need To Get Real With Yourself. Don’t Pretend Those Tabs Of Youtube Videos And Fanfiction

A Quick Quarantine Update

Finally, after two weeks I can write about my academic struggles! How are you, folks? How are you all holding up?

Last September 10, UP decided to resume classes even after the students’ and the faculty’s numerous calls to postpone it. Some students, even teachers, got confused with their class schedule and were met with various technical difficulties like power shortages and poor internet connection.  It was chaotic and pretty exhausting.

Luckily, some teachers were kind enough to let students adjust to the new mode of teaching first before getting right into the discussions. They explained to us how they were only given 14 weeks to teach the whole material for this semester. This made me realize how hard they simplified the lessons to make it easier and clearer to understand and so their generosity weighed heavier than before.

I also started to get the hang of using Notion, and as someone who was intimidated by it before I can say Notion is a very useful app. I think I’ll write about my template on future posts. I hope I could explain it better, then.

I know I said before that I will try to revive this studyblr, but I realized that I’m doing a pretty shit job at it. If you guys want to be friends or simply just to have someone like and reblog your posts, hit me up! I’ll try to interact better. >____<

Sentence Practice - July '19

Welcome back, everyone! It’s been a busy week and just yesterday I had my first ever Korean Food in a restaurant and I fell into a food coma instead of writing this post. So I’m a tad late, but here we are!

We spoke about a lot of things so far and last was the tenses with speech levels, so today instead of adding to the pile of overwhelming knowledge I’ll be doing some practice sentences. As always I may make mistakes but that is okay. We are here to learn not only a language but also to realize that it is okay to make mistakes and that they are needed to learn! So are you ready?

Good. Let’s go! 가자!

1. Yesterday I went to a Korean Restaurant.

Yesterday - 어제

to go - 가다 - Past tense 가았어요 -> 갔어요

-> 어제 저는 한국 음식점에 갔어요

2. In August I will visit my parents. (In August I will go to my parents)

August - 팔월

to go - 가다 (I use to go instead of literal ‘visit’ here) - Future tense 가겠어요

Parents - 부모님

-> 저는 팔월에 제 부모님에 가겠어요

We - 우리

To live - 살다 - Present tense 살아요

Apartment - 아파트

6. My big sister went to physical therapy.

My - 우리 / 저의 (제)

Big sister (from girl’s view) - 언니

To go - 가다  - Past tense 가았어요 (merges into 갔어요)

Physical therapy - 물리 치료

-> 제 언니는 물리 치료에 갔어요

7. We will go to the hospital tomorrow.

-> 내일 우리는 병원에 가겠어요

That’s it for now. If you found any mistakes, please let me know - how else would I learn, right? 

Also if you have any requests outside of the grammar posts that I am doing please let me know. I’d like to know what’s useful and what is not. I might to some small themed posts here and there with vocabularies and such, just to give our brains time to process the grammar with some vocabulary and sentences. Let me know if you think that would be useful! 

I don’t know what the next post will be about yet, but it’ll come soon! Until then, stay awesome!

파이팅!

“My heart’s not yours to hold. You hear me? Not. Yours.”

“I think you should consider it a miracle I’ve stuck around this long. It’s so creepy here.”

“Chasing the adventure is only half the fun. Look at all the friends we’ve made.”

“We might have to lower our expectations.”

“Fantastic, you’ve enchanted the bones to life. Dare I ask what’s next?”

“Dare I even try to ask for forgiveness? Do I deserve it?”

“Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.”
