it has been a pretty quiet week, although there was excellent schadenfreude yesterday from Ron Desantis dropping out

No joke, I actually felt I became more productive this week. I was able to do my language studies daily now (used to STRUGGLE so much in the past few years) and I'm starting to implement a savings plan I've been planning for a while.

The only shitty thing was that my body clock didn't fully reset. I work graveyard and I barely get 4hrs of sleep per day this week. I'll be drowning in coffee later to survive. Wish me luck.

What language? Native, or something new to you? ๐Ÿ‘€

Japanese for work. I was trying Chinese, and tho my reading skill's getting good, my accent was simply atrocious and requires immersion. Japanese pronunciation is easier for me so I switched to it this month.

I had actually considered doing Chinese as my required world language for college. My trade school mentor, who was very well traveled, talked me out of it after telling me how insanely difficult Chinese can be to learn. I'm glad that you're feeling productive with Japanese.
