Cigarette smoke and old books. Faded sketches and rain-soaked streets. The poetry of solitude written in sepia tones.

10th of February — T-95 days
so fun fact,, when you go too fast you end up skipping ten numbers in your series which means you have a cluster of ten femur fragments in the middle of your lumbar vertebrae :| i need to slow down sometimes i guess
HOWEVER today i was TOO SLOW and did not finish what i wanted to finish so i’m >:((((
but i can put the blame entirely on the release of my first semester grades </3 i have to be honest i’m disappointed in my grades but it’s okay we keep moving
bisous bisouuus !! hope you had a better day than me :’) :*

6th of February — T-99 days
i spent today filling out my excel spreadsheet, which involved numbering all of my bones :’)) but honestly it was so much fun the only problem is that my pc doesn’t have enough autonomy for my to settle at each station to work,, so i have to bring the bones to my desk each time </3
i also realised that i hadn’t finished identifying some bones so i need to do that tomorrow oops
bisouuuus !! hope you had a wonderful day :*

Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.

5th of February — T-100 days
a little before and after shot because today !!!! i finished the identification of my 700+ bone fragments :))) super happy !
so something that initially only took up one table has come to occupy one and a half tables :’)) but it’s all laid out clearly which i love so it’s worth the loss of space
tomorrow i need to move forwards with taking notes and recording all of my data,, i hope to be done with it in the day but if it takes until friday that’s okay too
bisous bisouuuus !! hope you had a wonderful day :*
