Monday, March 11th

Of course the first day of finals is also the first day of spring in Chicago. It took me so much to actually go into the library, but golden hour inside the stacks always hits.

lunchtime bio and sushi / billy at sunset

04 FEBRUARY 2024 | 43/100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

woke up sooo late, but i was having a really weird dream that i can't remember the specifics of, but tom holland was in it as the antagonist

leftover sushi from last night for lunch while i finished a 75-question pset for physiology

went to choir practice for the cultural show i'm gonna be part of

sunday reset! went grocery shopping and am washing my sheets

now slogging away at the endless readings for my other classes

wearing a mask in public is an act of love!!

🎧: voulez-vouz - abba (best abba album, u can't change my mind) 📚: confederates in the attic - tony horwitz (26%); the body in pain - elaine scarry (9%) 

i had a friend make a joke about the "light reading" i'm doing, and she was so real for that, reading one book about neo-confederates and one about war/torture/pain is making for some real "light reading"

29/100 days of productivity | January 27, 2024

I realized that, in the chaos with my illness and everything else, I accidentally skipped my favorite part of the writing process. after reading through my sources several times, following a different logic each time, I like to draw up a long list of random observations in no particular order. since I already have some kind of framework for the subchapter, arranging them will be a bit easier, but, at the same time, the nature of these observations will also shape the subchapter's logic. so, with that, the writer's block is (probably) sorted out, and now I can finally make substantial progress.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.

Working on my maths sheet (I thought I understood PDEs in the lectures but it’s hard 😭) whilst listening to the second half of the Anthrax discography (I got halfway though a while back and never finished so I’m rectifying that, lol) :)

10/100 DOP

Significantly ill today but still have to get it done! 4 hours teaching, timesheets, emails, decluttering my room, paying tuition and buying schoolbooks, cleaning the house, and then I get to watch LOTR tonight with friends. Started off with a really excellent chocolate peanut butter smoothie, let’s take it from there!

𝑆𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑦, 1𝑠𝑡 𝑗𝑎𝑛 2023 | it's actually 2023 fjkdfjkk I still haven't processed it tbh but HAPPY NEW YEAR sending all the love and wishes<3

It's been quite some time since I have been active here but I miss this place dearly, and if everything works out I might be a bit more active [im truly trying] I have some 4 ish months left to prepare so accountability is quite necessary at this point. Also, today's 3rd anniversary of this blog and I once again can't understand the passage of time, (I'm working on a lil smth tho 👀) so look forward to it and many more posts^^
