Hope you had a nice Valentine’s everyone!
Started the day with a friend of mine DMing me at 20 past midnight, just after the previous message, and I was really positively surprised aND ALSO ANNOYED SHE COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT GALENTINE’S DAY IS A THING AND SHE MISSED IT BY 20 MINUTES xddd
(side note, i also didn’t know it was a thing until i saw someone bringing it up on our work slack out of nowhere, oh well xddd)
Either way, wholesome day, 8 hours on a train, and I really like the trauma-bonding bit with friends where we all pat one another’s backs going like “yep, don’t worry, I’m there in case you don’t have a partner 
i’m also the same ” xddd
German: today, my recognition of the words was pretty decent compared how exhausted I was, after the seminar finished we had a bit where we talked about Valentine’s Day and queer stuff and pets and plants and who would’ve guessed, I’m much better at talking about this than about work-related things in German xddd
The seminar taught me a ton of things and I’ll have a similar one in the second half of March in Hamburg, so I’m already conserving my language recognition levels, I really just need to rest up and not think in German for a while…
…at most until Monday xddd
Japanese: I kinda wanted to redirect my attention to this language again, so I went on NHK news to find some stories and wHOA, I guess the current presidency in America is a big deal worldwide, as more than half of the articles from the last few days are just about this xdd
But hey, I read about a panda’s Valentine’s Day gift, how cute is that C:
Tomorrow I’m full hermit mode, except for cycling downtown to grab a bubble tea and something to eat, I’ll see if I find something cool Japanese-related on the internet tomorrow ^^
See you tomorrow again!
