At the beginning of the week I motivated myself to go to lectures by telling myself that if I did it I could have skipped today, but I'll be a good kid and attend today as well. I have a feeling the temperatures will be very hot and I am not looking forward to that, but I have my survival kit with me. The good news is next week I'll only have one day of commuting, because we have an holiday on Monday and on Tuesday there's a conference instead of the normal lecture and I couldn't care less about it. So that's the plan, two more days of lectures and then it's over and I only have to work from home.

On today's to do list:

read first thing in the morning

continue writing notes for chapter 1 of my anthropology book

lunch

commute + lecture

Irish

get some more reading done during free time

Morning coffee and some planning🌼

I have officially graduated with my Bachelor's! I am super excited to dive back in this fall with graduate school, but I am more excited for a pseudo-break over the summer. "Pseudo" because I will still be working on research and trying to think through my grad school plans, but hopefully there will be plenty of beach days and friend hangouts mixed in.

Also, please take a second to appreciate the beautiful latte art in my cortado the other day 😺

the problem with this coffee shop is that it’s too cute and too expensive and my wallet cannot keep going here every other week

I have been accepted to graduate school! I am seriously overjoyed. Still waiting on the rest of my application decisions (7 left!) but no matter what else happens I will be a sociology phd student in the fall :)

This certainly gave me the motivation needed to finish this semester with enthusiasm! lol

one of my favourite places on earth is this little used bookstore on the corner of my street. they have an impressive selection of science and pop sci books that i’ve started to hoard. i should really start reading them 🍂📚

Winter break is coming to an end but it was really, really nice. Lots of time resting and doing personal reading... which I've re-realized is completely different than school reading!

I've really reconnected with the parts of life I've been missing and I hope to retain that once the semester begins.

Last semester of my undergrad... wish me luck!

Fall semester is over and applications are IN!! Finally... time for some rest and getting back to my personal reading.

Currently reading: Conflicted Care: Doctors Navigating Patient Welfare, Finances, and Legal Risk - Hyeyoung Oh Nelson

Currently RE-reading: Mob Psycho 100 - ONE

As the year is ending soon... this is your friendly reminder that you didn’t waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of. 🤎

I am slowly feeling better. Finally. It was one stressful week and it threw me completely off track for another two weeks. I guess the final stretch of my formation process has been so traumatising that my body automatically taps into the same state as soon as I am feeling stressed a little bit. This will take some time to heal but I'm determined to get over it.
