Hi Everyone,

A regular reader of the blog told me that they wanted a break from all the reviews I have been posting lately and wanted to read what I was up to these days. Honestly, my life has been as boring/ uneventful, as this post’s title.

As I have been lamenting for quite some time, I injured my leg in the first week of June. Actually, more unfortunate events had befallen me during this time period which are not worth mentioning. All in all, my plans to spend my stipend in visiting various places in US were ruined and rather I had to spend my money on hospital bills. I am still getting treatment for it and more illnesses.

I have been taking so many medicines the whole summer and I feel so sluggish these days. I sleep more than 12 hours each day, a blessing for some of course. But for me, it’s bad. I had so many plans to spend my time but I have been wasting time in hospital visits and sleeping. I haven’t even talked to real life people apart from my family for quite some time. I am enjoying this alone time though. No energy wastage, saving my fucks to give to things as well. However, I do want to travel.

But who wants to read the depressing stuff? So, the best thing that happened this summer was I got to spend almost a month at home. So much food!! Another good thing happened was that I got introduced to a variety of Chinese drama. Till now I have only followed K-dramas religiously but now I am actually following C-dramas as well. This has increased my craving to learn Mandarin seriously although I am intentionally not starting it. When I am confident in all the languages I have picked up so far, I’ll concentrate solely on Mandarin for sure! It might be little far ahead in future but Mandarin is definitely  on my list.

In language learning, these days, I have only been doing duolingo, especially for Japanese. It’s not perfect still I am learning a whole lot of new vocab. Shout out to my lab mate and great friend who compelled me to maintain my streak and hence, I have to log into and do lessons at least once a day.

In other news, I have been reading this translated novel of When a Snail Falls in Love. I have been wanting to write such stories. Actually, I did have a whole lot of stuff written in my notebooks but now I was searching for them and I cannot find them. All my original stories are lost.  ;-;

I am still searching for those, I don’t remember where I have put those stories. I have those registers with me but I cannot find the scripts I had written. I don’t know if I tore the pages and hid them somewhere else. I gotta rack my brains and search!! I only remember only one of them and that too just the setting.

Other than that, it’s almost time to return to US. Last sem and big decisions to make including whether to go for a job or PhD. My plans for writing are unstable as usual. I want to draw as well but I am not good enough. If I do ever find and write those stories, I could at least make the character designs, I am confident in that 😀

Also, a friend of mine went to Japan for his internship. I had asked him to get me Shinrei Tantei Yakumo novels, so now I will officially have Japanese Light Novels in possession. I would have loved to translate and post here but it seems there are already official translations available so I won’t be doing that. Translation reminds me I still have a manga chapter to translate since forever but I have no motivation to do it. I would like to finish it before going back though so that I can start my semester without any distractions/ other things in the back of my mind.

So, this was my update for past few months. What are you guys up to? Are your vacations over? Let me know in the comments below.

Today’s Song: I have been following this drama called My Mr. Mermaid. A cute romantic story. And opening and ending are climbing up my list of favorites. Here is the ending song:
