25.08.2023｜study date in a coffee shop in copenhagen a little while ago

[rylie-studies]

I've been a homebody lately, but I'm content. Cooking dahls, soups, stews, reading on the sofa, lying in bed talking about films and art and things we want to do tomorrow. I sign the petition, donate to the fundraiser, put another protest in my diary. It's quiet but tangible. Last week we made a mess trying to pipe cream into brandy snaps and we laughed so hard that when we kissed the cream got on my nose and cheek. I sit at the desk writing, J texts me from the next room: lunch? I smile because there's just enough good ingredients in the fridge, I have a new commission to work on, and everything is just right.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

28.05: planning a three month long break; using a mug that's been lying on my shelf unused since forever; making some progress on my reading; creating my portfolio

i have about three months before my masters begins, and i want to use it extensively to learn subjects that i don't get to study academically or professionally. i'm also planning to learn sanskrit. i don't have a lot of confidence for it, but i'm gonna try anyway.

self study requires so much discipline. being a designer, my graduation in the design field didn't require me to "study" as much. in fact, i've not had a written exam in like 6 years. i did have a lot of presentations, case studies and juries though, which seems worse to me. but i think that's a classic case of the grass being greener on the other side.

my neurodivergent brain created a massive list of hobbies to pursue, subjects to learn and books to read. i'm really excited for the next three months though, it's all about how i plan and prioritise the things i want to do. (i won't, it's gonna be a chaotic hot mess but let's humour my enthusiasm).
