dark academia / new academic year

• trying to fix your sleep schedule yet choosing to stay up late listening to the storm outside

• doing extra reading in preparation for your first lecture on your way to school in the morning as if to tune your brain into the right state for studying

• returning to the university library, taking in the smell of the thousands of books in the vast room before diving into the aisles again, excited to learn something new

• planning a few outfits for busy mornings – as the weather is getting colder, you can finally wear your favourite turtleneck, jumper & wool coat again

• trying to revise for the new academic year by going through your notes from years past – a towering pile of black leather-covered notebooks balanced on top of a rickety antique chair by your desk

• going on early morning walks in nature when it’s softly raining to clear your head of any stress, simply listening, smelling & feeling the world around you

• examining your schedule & neatly marking down all deadlines into your calendar in an old-fashioned cursive – starting to plan study sessions, museum dates & reading time around your other commitments

• sitting in a dimly lit, wood-paneled pub with some new & old friends, heatedly discussing some current or historical event, everyone’s cheeks glowing red from their drinks or just the warmth of the place

• spending whole afternoons researching for essays – opened text books, printed out scientific articles & scribbled notes scattered on the table at your spot in the university library

• lying down on your bed late at night, listening to mahler & letting your mind rest after a long first week back at university

• walking the centuries-old cobblestone streets & visiting cosy little shops to buy whatever supplies you need for the new semester & retrieving your favourite pair of oxfords from the cobbler

• preparing a batch of vegetable soup to eat during the week – jazz playing softly in the background as you take your time chopping carrots

• going to lectures early to get your favourite seat in the hall & to exchange a few words with the professors – listening attentively while writing notes in blank ink, answering as eloquently & precisely as you possibly can whenever a question is being asked

• taking a coffee break outside of the university building on a gloomy, grey day, feeling the autumn wind on your neck but the warmth of the cup on your fingers

• lighting a softly scented candle as you study by the window, feeling oddly thrilled to be doing your first homework assignment of the year

Productivity challenge (8/100)

I prepared my presentation for my project viva and did some office work for my part time job. I saw a movie, did some reading, practiced meditation and listened to an audiobook. To top it off, I started an online course from Harvard. It's been a peaceful and eventful day <3
