I got back from Oxford about a week ago and I figured it's a good time

to have a Sunday reset and prepare to have a productive and successful summer.

So the first thing I'm going to do is clean up my room.

What I've realized from living in a small dorm, is that I have a lot of stuff that I don't really need

and if I haven't pulled it out of my closet

Over a year probably means that I should just get rid of it.

So I'm going to take some pictures and list these things on on eBay.

I've been in this dress all day since church

and I feel like since I should probably be getting to work on my computer now It's a good time to change.

So I'm gonna do that.

Before I get to work, I think I'm actually going to go to the kitchen and grab a snack.

I think I'm also supposed to cut up a pineapple. to freeze.

So I'm going to do that.

and then hopefully get some work done before dinner.

I am doing some work setting guest lists for roundtables for a project I'm working on.

with a company I did an internship at.

and then i'm going to plan a video i want to talk about like the social life at Oxford

and what that consists of.

how to meet people, all that sort of thing.

So I'm gonna try to get

these guest lists done first and then move on to that and then if I have time maybe film that later today.

this is my filming set up for this video I'm filming.

There's me in the viewfinder and then I have the ring light on a janky tripod, and my notes for what I'm going to talk about.

I always forget how good of lighting the ring light gives

because it was in my closet and I kind of like never pulled it out

but it's basically dark outside and my overhead light isn't very bright

so basically all the lighting right now is coming from the ring light.

Timothy, how's it going?

I'm doing good.

What are you doing this evening?

I'm making my ass.

You're making this?

How cool.

We had dinner pretty early, so I'm feeling like a snack.

I didn't have a freezer in college.

Well, I didn't have a kitchen.

I only had a mini fridge, so I couldn't get ice cream, which was very sad for me.

most of it is just sending out some mail.

working on my scrapbook that I have for my year at Oxford although I haven't added anything to it

It's basically a guide for all the new international students.

I am in charge of that.

And then I had to make a guide of the food at Oxford.

for also like I'm gonna do a tour

for that so I'm gonna make a guide first to figure out where I wanna show them.

And then I want to Potentially do 75 hard.

I realized I have a like 70, 80 days before I go back to school so it could be something I do so I'm gonna trial it tomorrow

and see how it goes.

and decide if I want to do that.

Well.. otherwise I need to Definitely go to the gym. and

I need to read a few more books because I have a goal to read 26 books

this year and I think I'm at 9 :00 so I'm a bit behind schedule.

but that's okay because I definitely have more time to read.

during the breaks than I do during school.

Like during school I read a lot for my courses.

but it's not really complete books ever, it's more like chapters and bits and pieces.

And so I can't count that towards my reading goal.

So I'm going to head to bed right now.

It's 11 p .m.

And hopefully have a good week.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
