Today there will be 5 classes, 1.5 hours each. Most of them will be quite challenging, to say the least, but it's fine. I managed to get some exercise in this morning and do some work, it should be enough.
Random thought that I dug up from old notes: different languages have different traits, and knowing multiple languages creates multiple aspects of your personality. They manifest themselves depending on the language and the way you learned it.
I have two languages in my arsenal: Russian and English. Russian is lengthy, lazy and philosophical, prone to reflection, poetical mood swings and ridiculously long sentences.
English is short and sharp. It is good for practical applications, such as planning and analysis. I use it in all my personal notes, planners and public writing for this reason.
Also, lifehack: if you are spiraling into anxiety attack, rationalizing yourself out of it is way easier if you use different language in your head. I have no idea why, it just works better for me.
@academicalnerd Yes, it works that way. I think it's because your vocabulary is not as rich and subtle as it is in your mother tongue. That way, you are forced to express yourself not "how you want to be seen by the world" (wishful thinking and delusion there), but close to how thigns objectively are (the world almost always boils down to simple plain language stuff without adjectives). Therapy works actually very well in a foreign language 😉 .
