To do Classics! - the subject I love SO SO much… oh my gosh…
I finally did it, I finally made my dreams come true. I can finally release all the excitement and all the want that I made myself hold in and suppress because I didn’t want to tempt fate. And after my interview experience I wouldn’t even dare think about a future where I went to Cambridge. I was dealing with a lot of family issues at the time and my second interview was just a slow and painful death by Latin grammar, I remember sitting in silence for what felt like forever after logging off of that final zoom, just thinking I had thrown it all away over the ablative case. And I spent weeks thinking that. And I was wrong. And I have never been more happy to be wrong in my life.
There is nothing stopping you from making everyday life more enjoyable. Put on that piano mix when you’re writing your essay. Wear your cat-ear headband at work just because you love it. Take a picture of that cute flower you saw when running errands.
Life can be gruelling and there are many things you have to do, but please take the edge off of them for yourselves.

I’ve spent my whole weekend catching up on chapter readings and lectures because I procrastinated all week. It’s definitely harder to maintain motivation and focus when we aren’t meeting up for classes. I think I learned my lesson though so I hope to follow my schedule to avoid this issue next weekend.

5 days ago I made a post offering my services as a Spanish tutor and thankfully it got shared a lot and 2 girls wanted me to tutor them. However, when I made that post I was not aware of the many fees and flaws of both fiverr and paypal. Fiverr is holding my money until january 4 and since I don’t live in the US and there are no banks or shops that work with paypal in Ecuador, I’ll have to withdraw my money using xoom, which is another fee. I don’t want to ask my students to pay more because of that, so I’m offering my services as a spanish tutor again. For $25 you’ll get 10 lessons, the first lesson is free, we can make a study plan together and work from that. I am a native spanish speaker, I was an IB student and certified both Lengua y Literatura and Language A in high school, I took a tefl course, and now I study social communications and journalism.
Some of the things you’ll learn if you have no knowledge in Spanish are:
Pronombres
Artículos indefinidos
Artículos indeterminados
Verbos ser/estar/tener/haber/hacer
Presente y pretérito perfecto
Verbos pronominales
Presentarse
Describirse
Adjetivos
Vocabulario común
Preposiciones/adverbios
If anyone wants more information, feel free to dm me. I will gladly answer all your questions.

Since I’m suddenly a spanish studyblr, I feel like I have to remind you all that there is no such thing as perfect spanish and your grades are not an indicator of your fluency or your habilities to learn a language.
Knowing how to conjugate verbs with vosotros is really not that important, nor is it to use ser o estar correctly. Yes, accuracy is good, but being able to communicate is essential. So please be kinder to yourself and don’t be afraid to speak another language, because I can tell you that no native spanish speaker will stop to point out your mistakes.
