Happy Christmas if you celebrate!🎄
I'm supposed to celebrate it but my relatives will visit us tomorrow, so today I got a super productive day off. It might not be much, but when you're working 9-to-5 it's actually a gift to have this much free time. Thank you Santa!🎁

Drops asked me about my interests, only to propose, as one of the first 10 topics or so, none other than... Prehistorical times. Thanks, now I know that "dinosaur" is "dinozor" in Turkish, I guess🦖🫠

My company's Christmas dinner messed up my schedule completely, I haven't been able to post in a couple of days. It was not bad, but it felt like never leaving the office for 48 hours straight and now I'm more tired than usual. Do you also have Christmas dinners at your job?

Recently, I've tried to watch "My dearest nemesis" because of Moon Gayoung. I like her character a lot, but the whole premise of "punishing" her because she rejected a MINOR when she was 19 is just ridiculous. Yes, she was harsh, but she still did the right thing. I stopped watching at ep.2 #kdrama

Now that I'm reading in German, which is my "third" language (aka the third foreign language that I picked up), I'm realizing that I'm painfully slow and, if I look away from the page for a moment, I miss the mark very easily.
Have you noticed something similar, too?

I'm really starting to feel the Holiday spirit, i.e.: I just want to roll in a blanket and watch some Hallmark-style Christmas romantic movies and do nothing else all day

When I first started learning German in high school, little did I know that I would be using it to beef with German speakers about Palestine, but here I am😂

The week is over, now I can finally enjoy a 3-days weekend! The only positive thing that Catholics did was instituting a bunch of bank holidays

Since that one genocidal country is still allowed to participate in #Eurovision through that clownish consultation, I will not be watching and commenting it next year. The EBU had countless chances to do the right thing, but they clearly prefer coddling a rogue state that manipulates the televote.

I'm tired but satisfied, I had an important meeting at work and I was feeling so much pressure about it, but it turned out to be less scary than I thought and it went fairly well! That's my small victory for today🥳

By the way, the number 8 being called "sekiz" in Turkish is really confusing me, it reminds me of "six" or "sechs" (the number 6 in English and German respectively)😵💫
Has it occurred to you, too?
