small but important update 
This morning I did my very first italki lesson! Since I already made a kinda long post about it, I’ll just link to that thread:
I also have homework: gotta think about how to talk about my day and what I do (e.g., in the morning/during work/at night) and look at a dictionary as little as possible. I have a couple weeks until my next lesson so I have lots of time to think about it!
I think I’m coming down with a cold or something and it’s kinda hard to think / focus on studying or work. But at the same time I’m super motivated to do Japanese stuff right now. So my heart is like 「勉強しよう！」 but my brain is all 「昼寝してぇー」…so annoying -_-
