FIRST BLOG POST

 Hello!! I'm Mary! Hope I'm doing this right, this is my first time using Blogger™, still needs a bit getting used to.

I'm a 20 yo LUNN student studying English and Psychology. I like sleeping in (my sleeping schedule is bad, I tried fixing it multiple times but at this stage it's pointless), playing video games (mostly RPGs), drawing and staying in bed for the whole day doing absolutely nothinggg. Unfortunately for me, starting this year I'll have to limit myself in sleep and all of those fun things I love, because this year is gonna be BRUTAL. Not only will I have to attend uni classes, do homework and draw, but I'll also need to TEACH CHILDREN MYSELF. Not at a school fortunately, but as an elective at a place where I used to prepare for exams and such. I'm a very anxious person and I worry about every single thing, so you can imagine how stressed out I am about this. I wanna buy like a notebook schedule to keep track of everything and be more organized. Hope it's all just in my head and I'm overreacting... We'll see in a couple of weeks. Turn your notifications on ya'll I'll keep ya updated!! (no one is going to read this besides me and my teacher, which is fine, it's like a diary, but public; hope I'm not oversharing or anything... btw hey Teach!!!)

Now, about my academic and other areas of life:

Strengths - what do you do well?
... okay this is harder than I thought. Umm... I guess I can really get into things. For example, if I get really invested into something, I'll research the topic and try to understand everything I can about it. There's probably more what I can mention here but I always struggle with such questions about myself.

Weaknesses - where do you need to improve?
Everywherrreee. I'm that type of person who believes that there's always room for growth and that you learn new things every day (even subconsciously). But if I need to name specific things I'd say that I need to improve my time management, my sleep schedule and do something about my anxiety because I really can't keep living like this. I would also like to draw more, that would be nice...

Opportunities - what are your goals for this year?
Draw more, stress less, manage time well. Also become a good teacher and help kids get exited about learning English!!!

Threats - what obstacles do you face?
Burnout is my biggest foe I think. I can easily get interested in something and lose this interest just as quickly. I'll try to keep a healthy work-life balance as much as I can.

I guess this is it. Really pumped about this year. I'll try to do my best!!

P.S: Thanks for reading my first blog post! It's a big one for sure tee hee. Hope you have a nice day!!
