Days Of Summer 2020 - Ep. 2 (rainy day, Korean study session...)

It's almost 7pm as I'm writing this and it has been raining the entire day, non-stop. I wasn't even outside at all and since yesterday I did some cleaning, I didn't really know what to do. When I got up I listened to some music and played cards on my laptop, had breakfast and read a few pages of the book I got at the library. It is a very interesting book, I haven't read anything like that before and I'm about to start chapter 5 and probably finish it tonight. I went through a phase of reading a lot at the beginning of this year and got over it, so I am slowly getting back into this habit, reading a chapter or two a day.

Around 1:30pm I put my nephew for his afternoon sleep that lasted two and a half hours and I'm blaming it on the rain! :) Then I thought it was about time to do something productive, take advantage of the weather as I was staying inside anyways and with my nephew sleeping, it was a little bit more silent in the house, so I worked a little bit on something I would like to call my "secret project" even though that term doesn't fit properly but oh well...

After that I took a break, had lunch and went back to my room to finally start (or get back to) learning Korean. After the lockdown, I printed out some lessons I found on the Howtostudykorean.com website that was recommended by some people on YouTube who are learning Korean. It was a free source so I thought I would give it a go. My interest in learning this language came from Kpop or more precisely BTS as they are the only group I listen to and I found the language very interesting and unique. But it's been a while since those printed papers are sitting in the folder and I was always procrastinating starting to actually use them to learn. That was until today. I completed first lesson of Unit 0, which is just going through the Korean alphabet. I already looked at this first time I visited the website, wrote it down and learned most of it but it was nice to repeat it again and really get into the subject deeper.

Today started quite lazy but it was nice to pick myself up and do something at least a little bit productive. It was a great reminder that I can turn my mood/day around at any time really if I just set my intention to do so. Of course it feels good to finally do something I've been putting off for a while now. Seems like tomorrow's weather is going to be the same as today so I will try to re-create today's schedule with reading a book, "secret project" and studying Korean.
