stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a new hair cut, do your nails, take care of your skin, brush your teeth, drink water, eat foods that give you energy. get strong, stop looking sloppy. when you feel good, you do good. invest in yourself.

Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls and the walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than any other sacred holy place - because love is felt most when its leaving.

23.09.2024 // day 214 // cute charms
I've been chipping away at my ethics application. every day I feel overwhelmed by how much I don't know. there's so much to learn and that's equally exciting and terrifying. these days, I've been trying to do the following:
write sections of my literature review
create datasheets of my primary sources
work on my ethics application and prep for 'fieldwork'
submit abstracts for symposiums/WIP seminars
compile annotated bibliography on decolonising museums as a part of my RA work. this is frankly out of my expertise area, so I'm struggling a bit. but I welcome the fact that I'm reading literature on a topic that's completely new to me
make my way through BoTW
also, finally added these charms to my TN; I love them so much.

Tomorrow’s exam could go so badly but I’m too tired to be overly anxious about it. It’s at 15:30 so I’ll have some time for last minute studying at least. I’m trying to avoid lamenting about my regrets until after the exam.

reading and breakfast in bed
24.09.24 ; trcc readathon day 1 🍅
I woke up at around 8:45 this morning and the only thing I felt like doing was reading, so I decided to indulge in some reading-in-bed time. A great decision, I would say, since I was so comfy I resolved to turn it into breakfast-and-reading-in-bed time an hour later. I had the traditional Andalusian breakfast today: toast with tomato, olive oil, and jamón serrano (pretty much like prosciutto). I never seem to get the tomato right, but anyway.
I started this book a few weeks ago. I'd say it's been a month already. I actually really like it, but I haven't had much time to read since I've had to work on my thesis and so on.
It has only been published in Spain, but it is a very interesting book. Very thought-provoking. It is about a writer who died ten years prior to the discovery of his private diary, in which he documents what happened to him in those last months of life. The diary corresponds to the first part of the book, and the second part is a story he writes inspired by all of the crazy events he talks about in his alleged diary. All in a found manuscript style, which I really like. However, the book has footnotes, but they have been written by this author's editor, who publishes the diary and the story post-mortem. The footnotes, then, are also part of the story and the editor is nothing more than a character in it.
It poses a lot of questions about unreliable narrators, the figures of authors, the literary world, jealousy, ego, fairness and justice... I think it will easily become one of my best reads this year once I finish it.
