As of today I`m going to write all my articles in English. I need to immerse into the language and get used to writing (and hopefully working) in English.
According to the title, yes, I’ve started working at my thesis and I’ve translated at least 4 pages of someone from Chinese`s paper on military euphemisms. The problem is, what am I going to write about? The topic is on the the ways mass media represents military conflicts. Extremely topical, isn’t it? Sorry to say, I kinda wasted some time in February, so I have very little time to collect data for the practical part. To make things worse, Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and mass Communications blocked BBC and Deutsche Welle, so I didn’t hesitate to rush for Euronews and The National Interest and copied 74 pages of articles on the current events. The goal is to complete working with the Chinese article and start searching for more information. I truly would like to go on working from home in order not to attend useless classes. I’m almost the graduate or whatever?… I should have my own life (who are you kidding, Kate?)
Update on the conversational experience: people tend to fade away and I continue being quiet with the strangers. Since the beginning of February I’ve been rehearsing to act in a play. I feel good and almost comfortable when I don’t force myself to take part in brainstorms. I like acting and am not afraid of the audience (but I should check it on the 1st of April). It seems like someone has little liking for me and I’m trying not to think about it otherwise I will turn to the January state of mind when I was barely killing myself. I don’t know what helped more: a psychotherapist and herbal medicines or swimming and devoting myself to hobbies. I believe I’ll keep this balance when studies begin, not sure though. Not only because of forthcoming extra-tiredness and stress, but also because of clouded future.
Some words about the situation in the world: I’m anxious but continue checking all the news. I feel sorry for all the innocent victims and civilians. I feel sorry for everybody, now we are deprived of a better future. To tell the truth, I had special plans after my graduation and I have to put them on ice and find ways to live in the present conditions. I’ve literally lost opportunities to fulfil my goals but lots of people can relate, at least I’m not alone.
It’s 23:21 now, do I really have to translate some more paragraphs for the thesis? Maybe. I also wanted to make one more collage, the last one out of 7, to be exact. Jungkook is left, so I should please my 1% of perfectionist nature and so some craft work to calm my nerves.
Tomorrow I’m having one more rehearsal and afterwards I’m going to theatre. Hope to make some photos to write about the event. I very much hope that I will not fall asleep like I did couple times before.
Bye
