late night lavender honey matcha and some light reading

My Filofax Ranger, paired with my current read. Naturally, my commonplace journal is close by — I can’t resist collecting thoughts, passages, and fragments that speak to me. Building my own little archive of wisdom, one page at a time. 🦢✨

The dog slept folded up like a deck chair, the sun went down and up again. Peeled myself out of the comfortable blanket and caught my early train. I feel mocked by myself that I can get up at any time if public transport is involved but not just because I want to. Now I have a journey of a couple of hours ahead of me to not only try stay awake but also revise for my exam. Fingers crossed something will stick this early in the day!

good morning!!!! I just journaled, read a little, and am now finalizing my reflection for this week, a requirement for my community medicine rotation. this is a hard rule in for me. meaning I might pursue this specialty in the future because of the schedule. it’s just the frustration to see the impact materialize in a short amount of time that is just hard to come to terms with.

28 May 2025 // I am once again posted up at the coffee shop ^.^ i got a turkey croissant melt and a latte

what i want to get done today:

replies to week 2 discussion board

submit first draft of writing assignment

finish reading assigned chapters (2 chapters)

create review plan for exam 1 - on Friday aaa! snuck up on me since this is a condensed 6-week class

i had some tech issues at the start of this class (didn’t get added to the discussion group in canvas) so my first couple of assignments weren’t graded correctly. luckily i had already emailed the professor about it last week and he said it would be fine, so i followed up today and he was able to quickly fix it - definitely had a quick panic when i saw the grade at first though

lately: a lot to do and it's very hot! last weekend I had a lovely day with friends though, ceramic painting and playing a long boardgame. and I've procrastinated taken some time to try and plan out the summer because @soap-stones made it sound fun

friday | june 20 14/100 dop (two weeks in!!) steps: 10.0k

officially done with the first week of my summer research job! i'm giving a presentation on my project next week, so i spent most of my workday prepping some slides. i also got in 50 minutes of strength training in the morning and made dinner with my housemates after work.

goals for the weekend include fulfilling some house-cleaning responsibilities, a bit of meal prep for the week, and spending a good chunk of time on grad school research, which i've more or less abandoned for the past week.

Hay fever is killing me this year and the OTC stuff is doing a 3/5 star job. Guess I'll have to start seeing an allergologist again (for the first time since I was like... 11? lol). I don't let it stop me from powering through chem tech though!! The final is tomorrow and I'm feeling pretty confident about it - I've studied quite a lot and I think I'll manage to fill in all the gaps in my knowledge today :)

Took yet another walk around the lake and the water was shimmering! Wish I had a better camera. I have also been taking some more notes about neurotransmitters. The brain is so interesting I want to know all about it!
