A Monkey Wrench in the Status Quo

On the one hand, yay, novelty. On the other, halp, my structure, nuu...
March 2, 2021March 1, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Here we are in March, and I can hardly believe it.  February is of course on the wimpy side as far as month lengths go, but it still counts, and this year continues to go by at a much more expected rate than 2020 did for me.  Part of me thinks that’s a direct effect … Continue reading A Monkey Wrench in the Status Quo

Passing the Time Writing

I see the world's still a mess in 2021, but it feels more like a WACKY mess.
February 2, 2021February 1, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

So as I’ve discussed in previous blogs since the tail end of November, I have been working on fiction writing again after taking a long hiatus back in September of 2019 for a variety of reasons, none of which were good, but which were also unavoidable.  I’m not sure how applicable any of this is … Continue reading Passing the Time Writing

Yearly Theme for 2021

With how 2020 went, I worry 'The Year of Action' sounds like a threat.
January 5, 2021January 4, 2021 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

We’re officially in 2021 now, and while things don’t feel all that much different, I’m choosing to look forward optimistically and hope for this to be a better year.  A lot has changed since the last of these year-start blogs I wrote, with my life overall improving despite other difficulties presenting themselves.  This is when … Continue reading Yearly Theme for 2021

Revisiting 2020’s Yearly Theme

In reality, the "yearly theme" for everyone's 2020 was "oh god no."
December 1, 2020December 1, 2020 ~ bats ~ 1 Comment

I’m so done with this year. I’m sure that’s a sentiment I share with most people at this point, and I know it’s stupid and short-sighted to think that the arbitrary dates on the calendar really have much to do with anything.  With November behind us, we have one remaining month to go before 2020 … Continue reading Revisiting 2020’s Yearly Theme

Language Learning With Split Attention

Speaking of attentions being split, today's the election. AHHHHHHHHHH!
November 3, 2020November 9, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

So I’m at a little bit of a rough patch at the moment, because this week I am due to write a blog about language learning and recap the month of October, but I am at odds with actually completing that task, because my interests are heavily divided at the moment.  Over the weekend, The … Continue reading Language Learning With Split Attention

Setting Toki Pona Aside

I can't believe it's fall already, and yet can't wait for 2020 to end.
October 6, 2020November 2, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Throughout September I’ve managed to have a few shakeups in my learning schedule, thanks in large part to my work schedule becoming more accommodating to me squeezing out a bit more reading throughout the day, which let me shift back to my preferred blend during the week for reading and watching time.  Another shakeup that’s … Continue reading Setting Toki Pona Aside

Efficiency Vs. Accessibility

Truly, the most difficult to admit part was that this IS the new normal.
September 1, 2020October 5, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Last week, as I took a break from a main topic and just recorded the numbers for the week and recapped, I did end up having a bit of a topic to discuss, because I ended up giving up the ghost on my ‘platonic ideal’ schedule for working days and switched from 90 minutes reading … Continue reading Efficiency Vs. Accessibility

Taking A Break From Spanish: The Results

And here I thought that breaks were supposed to be, like, relaxing...
August 4, 2020August 3, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

So this is the second week after my mini Add1 Challenge working on Toki Pona and switching back to focusing on Spanish.  Two weeks is a pretty solid amount of time to stretch my legs and get back in the swing of things, and it was what I figured would be an appropriate amount of … Continue reading Taking A Break From Spanish: The Results

Barreling Ahead on Toki Pona

I return to my greatest challenge once again: reading books for kids.
July 7, 2020July 6, 2020 ~ bats ~ Leave a comment

Toward the end of week one of this mini Add1 Challenge of learning Toki Pona, I predicted I’d be moving past the pure study phase of learning soon.  What I didn’t expect, was how much I could do a single week after starting in on this language. Like, okay, sure, I know the lexicon is … Continue reading Barreling Ahead on Toki Pona

A Look Back on Two Years of Language Learning Progress

Been learning Spanish for 2 years, still don't code switch accidentalmente.
June 2, 2020June 1, 2020 ~ bats ~ 2 Comments

Well, year two of this blog has ended and this blog marks the start of year three.  A lot has happened over the course of this running time, and I’ve seen a huge amount of growth in my language skills. That growth hasn’t come easy, as I’ve devoted a huge amount of time and effort … Continue reading A Look Back on Two Years of Language Learning Progress
