Alright so I really want to get back into creative writing as well as express my thoughts more eloquently. So hopefully writing everyday will help keep better words in the fluidity of my expression.
It’s honestly very hard to create a creative cycle journey as there are only so many hours in the day. I would like to embellish my more creative aspects but at the current time I am using a lot of my mental focus to try and remaster mathematics again.
Being a language of precision I figured that if I want to get excessively good at language learning in general then mathematics is definitely the best language to learn. I have also been spending some time learning Japanese, with a hope that I will be able to learn Chinese very easily with it.
The only reason I don’t study Chinese directly is because the “Great Firewall of China” seems to severely limit the amount of information I can find about learning their language and being unable to find much media online to learn from. Also I have had difficulty finding any kind of kids books or music with which to learn via immersion. So I am hoping instead to be able to learn the Japanese system as they are much more public and open and immerse myself in that culture, then when I have mastered the kunyomi of the kanji that then the onyomi will be easier to decipher.
Japanese also has a lot more free technological tools with which to help comprehend the language faster and with more precision. Chinese is hard in general because I can’t find too much in the form of pronunciation due to the lack of tools.
I have also begun to try and watch some short films at the end of the day, figure I will get some new ideas or visit some new places essentially via cinema. I like the shorter films because a 2 hour movie just doesn’t really grip my attention anymore. Learning in English 4 the outline of how a story progresses makes modern films extremely predictable and I have already seen so many that I can predict what’s going to happen within the first 15 minutes most of the time. Two hours is also a very long time to spend watching a movie that might turn out to be mediocre, whereas, movies around 10-30 minutes progress much more rapidly and usually, they experiment with different story telling structures making them a lot harder to predict. The other added benefit is that if I want to share a movie with someone the time sink isn’t so large that they won’t want to watch it, thus giving me more opportunity to discuss the films that I enjoy.
Music and affirmations, a constant, I’m not sure what I’m going for at the moment, I was on a memory stint for a long time, but I am about maxed out on my understanding of comprehension and self-study efficacy, it’s just a matter of committing and staying the course of whichever thing I want to learn. I find it pretty funny that my “Youtube” feed constantly likes to try and fill itself with study parameters and videos on study efficacy, though when I watch, seldom will I find anything new. “Fluent Forever” was one of the greatest books I have ever read on language acquisition and really has shifted my perspective on skills, wherein, each skill is essentially simply a language where you just need to learn the key terms and symbols and really nothing else exists other than that.
I’ve been looking for a job again, I may have gotten one at the “Wood Group”, which is a place I have worked for before. Essentially it is a mental health facility for people in crisis and I would be the intermediary for intake and care of the clients that we end up serving. I really would like that job because it is more mental than physical and the physical parts are also super easy to do. Last time I worked there, there was a lot of downtime which gave me a lot of time to study and do the things that I want so that would also be a pretty big boon for me in general.
I also got offered another interview with a place called “Vexus Fiber” which I am assuming is a telecom company that distributes internet services residentially. Not very sure what the job entails tbh, it might be a sales position or a customer service position, either way, I have a large amount of experience in the computer science world and the world of physics so it would be another very easy gig for me to handle.
I need to work out more. I was thinking about making a page with a bunch of different exercise posts and what they are for. That way I can keep track of a plan, as well as, all the videos I need in order to fulfill it. It would also help in general because I need to make a physical therapy regiment and that would be an excellent place to start.
I want to make another page where I review the short films I watched before, that way I can more easily formulate expressions of review off the top of my head in general when speaking to others.
Probably it is, that I should also create a page dedicated to poetry that way I am able to practice writing thematically and with eloquent speech in general. It has been a long time since I wrote any poetry however, so I will probably need to review some before making my play at it again. I guess that means I should also make a page dedicated to other’s poems that way I can review them and keep track of the ones I enjoy.
Last night there were a bunch of tornadoes all around Texas, I think they said that there were 28 total tornado’s, I was staying at the shelter so they made everyone go downstairs for an hour or so until the tornado warning was passed and the all clear given. Other than that, not really much to report on. I think creating separate pages for different concepts will honestly be the best way for me to begin writing down those things I wish to remember and practice upon or review later on. So, I think I am off to go and achieve as such and make those pages.
