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).

Excuse me this is the cutest post-doubles match win interview I have ever heard. (Hsieh Su-Wei and Elise Mertens at Indian Wells)
Taking NOTES.
++++++
When Mertens pointed out that Hsieh delivered one spectacular shot, the veteran cheekily replied, “Only one?”
No, of course not, smiled Mertens.
Later, when Mertens was quizzed on why she turned to Hsieh as her partner for 2024, the Belgian spoke about how their games meshed and their previous success.
“It just naturally flowed a little bit throughout the matches that, okay, we're not starting from scratch, we already know each other,” said Mertens. “‘I know how you play, you know how I play.’”
Hsieh then piped in. “I thought because I'm cute, that's why you asked me,” she said.
“And she is very cute, too,” Mertens happily acknowledged.

So, I've got a question for the snake den. There are so many versions of eclipse (and some of sun and moon of course), that they cant all be called Eclipse, right? So I think that each of them should each have their own seperate names
In-universe, the nagas have their own language, and to Y/N, their names in their native tongue sound so terribly similar that it's difficult for them to differentiate the nagas but for the sake of the question, and maybe bordering a little into OC territory, these are the names I would give them so not everyone is named Eclipse.
Blackwater Lure Eclipse = Tiago
Cryptid Sightings Eclipse = Tlhoolcha
Sleuth Jesters Eclipse = Vinicius
Bounty Hunter Eclipse = Nahuel
Devil Eclipse Eclipse = Jacare
Sleuth Jesters Sun = Helio
Sleuth Jesters Moon = Meztli
Syzygy in Dedication Eclipse = Saulo
Syzygy in Dedication Sun = Inacio
Syzygy in Dedication Moon = Luan

In Sanskrit, there's a word called 'Viraha.'
It's about missing someone deeply. 'Viraha' is for when you're far from someone you love, but you still believe you'll be together again. It shows that love stays strong, no matter how far apart you are.
