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).

ˑ I studied and completed the Conditionals module of the syllabus on my JavaScript self-study course.
ˑ I started brushing up on my foundational math.
ˑ I'm taking a yin-yoga class later tonight to release some of the tension in my body.
Wishing you all a wonderful and peaceful weekend 🌿

currently reading (at snail’s pace)
i’ve never juggled between such vastly different, yet equally heavy genres before. one boggles my mind with yet another unexplored aspect of indian history, another makes me realise how little i know about the world, and the last one could’ve just been a twitter thread.
“we said goodbye to our mothers. they’d been around all our lives, but we’d never properly seen them. they’d been bent over washing tubs or cooking pots, their faces red and swollen from heat and steam, holding everything together while our fathers were away at sea, and nodding off every night on the kitchen chair, with a darning needle in hand. it was their endurance and exhaustion we knew, rather than them."
- we, the drowned by carsten jensen

The best part of having printing presses in your living room is sometimes you can just print swear words when you’re having a bad day.

Today, I
ˑ Submitted an assignment for review and completed 25% of one of my self-study courses.
ˑ Submitted a short assignment for another self-study course.
ˑ Worked on the draft for my motivation letter.
ˑ E-mailed the admissions office to ask when the pre-assignments will be published. (In approx. 1,5 weeks!)
ˑ Wrote and sent a joke in code to one of my friends, who asked me how I was doing. I then had a snack and realized how I could have made the code prettier during said snack. 👩💻
