You’re never too old to learn something new. Never stop studying.

one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

The late-spring-semester-burnt-out-student urge to treat myself to a little nature walk after the most unproductive and slow 20 minute study session

Day 45: Studying with a view but it is always a struggle to be efficient when at my parents'. Mom-made apple pie for comfort. My parents' cat for company.

05.19.23 ; term 3 week 2

Summer is here and it's beautiful outside. Went to a show on Monday but it didn't end super late so clinical wasn't that hard to get to. I still feel disorganized and I need to get my shit together. Patho is throwing a lot of info at us, but I love it. It's a long weekend coming up, and I have a lot of catching up to do. Still gonna go out and have some fun though.

[19.05.23] Hi everyone. :)

I've been away because it's been busy days and my time has become more limited. In those days I set up a schedule to take time for studies. I divided my time into things I needed to do (helping my family with personal situations) and focusing on my studies. Now I'm home again, and back to my usual routine. And of course, always with a cup of coffee. ☕

*The pic from the trees aren't from today.

** It's autumn season. ♥

Today was a good day! I went to work in the morning (spy the UT Tower from the break room) and finished my day off with a trip to get some boba and shop at my favorite stationary store to buy more study materials!

I rearranged my room today to optimize the sunlight in the day, and my workspace. I hope it’ll improve my studying and productivity motivation….
