I love you.

The top is to make a bowl of ice cream.

It's very good.

I made some ice cream.

The top is to make a bowl of ice cream.

I don't know how to make it.

I was just trying to cut it.

I cooked it all night.

I love it.

I've been doing it for a while.

It's done for a while.

I didn't want it for a while.

I was doing it for a while.

I thought it was a good way.

I was going to cut it all out.

I'm going to get to the top.

But it's going to be a little bit better.

After the dinner, I was the host of the video.

I was just going to be planning on her ride.

I was just going to make a kitchen for this.

Really?

Oh, and I wish I could do it.

Put 1 cup of meat on the ground, and then go in.

Eucine Egg Egg Red pepper

Salt Salt that's it, so you know, let's put it in.

I like that one.

Next, I made a chili,

I made a chili, I made a chili, but I'm not sure.

I'll measure, yeah, I'm gonna make a chili-suit for this.

Thank you.

I thought it was very good.

I also love it.

I don't know what to do.

I love it.

Let's get some ingredients.

I love these ingredients.

I love it.

I love these ingredients.

I love this.

I love it.

I love this.

I love it. so so

next i will make my bed whilst listening to some kind

of classical music i also set out my outfit the night before so

that i don't have to think about what to wear in

the morning one of the benefits of a routine is

that it takes away choice genuinely i find too many choices very overwhelming

and so i like to eliminate as many choices as i possibly can in the mornings

because it helps me stay efficient and focused so

if you're the same as me then this is definitely something i would recommend

and i like to wait a little bit between putting on

that ordinary serum and some spf face cream because otherwise the texture just goes very strange

i also put on some caffeine eye cream

and as you can see my skin is always

so red after putting on face cream i will also put

on some cc cream i put this on every day actually

and there's my makeup done by this time my green tea

has cooled as well i don't like to have it straight out of the kettle

because it's usually just a bit too hot

but then i will sit down at my desk with my tea

and i try to do some latin first thing

so today i was doing a translation from john's gospel i find this is a great task for the morning

because it gets my brain working

and gets me thinking but it's not too intense plus I'm trying to practice Latin every day

so this is a great way to make sure that I get some Latin practice in

and then after doing that I will write my to-do list of course I use the academic planner from Pumpkin Productivity, which is my stationery shop.

I design the planner and say, of course I'm going to use it every day.

I just pop in my key events from my calendar

and then write a to-do list by this time it's also usually light

so i'll open up my curtains and i didn't show this before

but i always open my window as soon as i wake up

so that my room's less stuffy next it's time for breakfast breakfast is my favorite meal of the day honestly

so i have one of two things i either will have yogurt in my room or I'll go and make some porridge.

But on days that I have 9am classes, I tend to just have yogurt because it's very quick.

I know it doesn't look that appetizing, but it's really tasty.

After breakfast, I will get back to doing a little bit more work.

This time it will just be anything from my to-do list though.

So today I was working on an essay.

And then I tried to spend at least five minutes writing

so this might be journaling this might be writing a poem sometimes i'll leave my room to do this

and i do prefer to do this out of my room actually outside

or in a cafe but on days

that i have 9am classes i will just spend five minutes doing this in my room

so i wrote a very terrible poem this morning and then i will just brush out my hair

then of course I'm going to pop on my watch I'm a bit of a compulsive watch checker um

which isn't fantastic but I definitely miss it

when I'm not wearing my watch I'll fill up my water bottle as well

and every single time I try and fill up my chilies water bottle at the tap

before realising that it just won't fit.

So instead I grab another container and use that to fill it up.

Water is honestly my biggest study essential and it's

so important to have a bottle of water on you when you're going to a class, especially when it's a two-hour class because you will get dehydrated.

Then I will pack my bag.

It's already semi-packed from the night before but I'll just put in my book, my water bottle and check that I've got a bit of need.

The temperature is also dropped here in the UK so I will put on my coat and scarf.

Last week I was not having to wear a coat but coat season is definitely here

100

and I also grab my ID and university card

101

because that's what lets me in and out of my building and it's what lets me into the libraries.

102

I definitely cannot leave without this.

103

and then I will just head out today I bumped into someone on my floor

104

first thing I will actually do

105

when I've left college is go to Pratt yes i know

106

i got a press subscription genuinely though i don't regret it in the slightest

107

and i'm so glad

108

that i got it i just didn't really want to buy a coffee machine

109

and so i've just been getting all of my coffees from pratt instead

110

and it feels like it makes a lot of sense

111

and i'm just buying it myself all the time it also brings me

112

so much joy being able to go into pratt

113

and just get any drink as i say i had 9am class today

114

so I walked to the English faculty and honestly I just can't get over the fact that this is my daily walk.

115

That every single day I get to walk past the Radcliffe camera

116

and all of this stunning gorgeous architecture and I just feel so tremendously grateful to be here.

117

then this is me in my class it was a transcription class

118

that i had today and this class is honestly so fun our professor is fantastic

119

after class i went to new college with my friend lucy

120

she was just showing me around and i also saw the cloisters and the tree where they filmed

121

the Draco Malfoy ferret scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which was very cool.

122

I wasn't there for very long I headed back to my room after

123

that this is me standing in the quad at the Bodleian.

124

Usually as well when I get back to college the first thing I will do is check my pigeonhole for letters

125

and today I did have two my mum had sent me a card

126

and also this pack of limited edition Harry Potter stamps

127

which was so thoughtful of her I didn't realize she was going to do

128

that and it definitely put a smile on my face um but

129

that brings me to the end of today's video my mornings

130

do change depending on whether I have a 9am class

131

or not um but this is my routine for when I do have early classes.

132

I hope you enjoyed watching it, and I hope that you have more than just a productive week.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
