03.11.2019 | today has been somewhat stressful so i’ll just try to relax a bit

[oristudies]

november 23rd 2019 — saturday, a list: sleeping in, cleaning the flat, cooking lunch, reading the queen of nothing, finishing the queen of nothing, making coffee, trying to decide what to read next, settling on wicked saints, drinking coffee and eating a sweet clementine, reading some more. feeling exhausted and taking a delicious nap. waking up, reading some more. taking a shower. reading. reading. reading till i feel tired of it (aka never) cuddles with the boyfriend, eating fajitas, and reading some more. a good day. life is good. things are finally looking up. not mentioning the anxiety and the xanax i had to take to feel better. it was a good day nonetheless.

Day 22: consultation ☁️ | Ig: thenglishmajor

✔️ had another consultation with my lecturer on Emily Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" today, she said I was thinking on a advanced level and was bright💡I felt like I had a better understanding after the consultation.

✔️ today's weather was so good I had to sit by the windows🌿had a good 2 hour study session done.

The weather is getting colder and colder. A struggle to get out of bed every morning 🥶

every morning i wake up & get my coffee & i recite in my head this excerpt from ‘invitation,’ by mary oliver:  “it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world.” & i just say it over & over again until it sticks to my mind for the rest of the day. it is a serious thing. i am alive. i am so lucky. this fresh morning i get the chance to live again & again & again

First snow of the season so I’m snuggled up on the sofa

Binge watching Greys 

Created a new habit tracker and 20 pages of notes

is there anything better than a chai latte on a rainy day?

we’re well into the semester now, which means midterm and paper season is just around the corner. i’ve been locking myself away in the campus library 3 days in a row, so i decided it was about time i got some daylight. 

on a side note, would anyone be interested if i started a little newsletter? @post–grad​ has the loveliest tinyletter, and it makes me want to start my own. writing has always been a passion of mine, but i’ve never had the motivation to write/post what i write…..just an idea…..if it flops forget i said anything

up early & ready to do some damage to my reading list.

[oristudies]

towards a gentle academic

be up front and honest about the things you do not know

acknowledge the intrinsic value of others’ knowledge bases, even if they do not seem important to you from your institutional context

do not feign mastery where you have none

respect the gaps in others’ knowledge bases

be generous, not only with others

but also with yourself

you overwork yourself at the risk of legitimizing a culture of overwork 

privilege voices and perspectives that have historically been left out of the academy

nothing is ever neutral or apolitical

support the progress of other scholars

collaboration over competition

I had such a lovely morning today🧡 A good(and cheap!) cup of coffee, annotations and reviewing my class notes was the best combo! It was nice to have time to do everything slowly and just focus on the material☕️🍁🍂 I hope you all have these times as well, where there is no stress and you can just enjoy the work🧡♥️

You might think media is all fun and one of the best majors to have, my best friend @potatopizza18 disagrees!! There is no such thing as an easy major.

things are starting to kick-in around here! it’s a little scary, and a lot overwhelming, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m finally starting to find my routine; and even though change is constantly a fear in my life, for once I’m craving it. it’s comforting knowing that I have the capacity to change. coming from the mindset I once lived in, these days seem more and more surreal as time passes on. sometimes it still feels like dreaming. but no- this is my life now.
