03.10.2022 | This is not a realistic depiction of a PhD student’s life ; I repeat : this is NOT a realistic depiction of a PhD student’s life !! However, I had a very nice weekend, to prepare myself to face a HUGE month of October.

Happy October everyone :)

Journal article discussion day with friends fueled by delicious pastry and the view from university library.

received my first journal rejection today!

honestly, not surprised and find this pretty funny. i see getting this rejection as an "Academia rite of passage" like now I can say I'm OFFICIALLY in this hoe because I've been told no by a journal

didn't even get reviewer comments whichhh tells me they didn't even find reviewers for it lol. a rejection on valentine's day? how fitting.

on to the next journal submission! :)

When you're just too tired to do anything, but deep down, you know you gotta keep pushing forward. So here's to us taking breaks when we need them and knowing that asking for help does not mean giving up. It just means you're finding new ways to solve problems and think creatively so you may rise to meet whatever life throws at you.

The best thing about Barcelona is the free museums on Sunday. Had fun visiting the Maritime Museum and MUHBA last Sunday.

Confessions of a Chaotic PhD student✨

I am here to make a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:

to feel comfortable as my true self and also to let people know that they're not alone.

I have always tried to show here the struggles and confusions I'm facing as a PhD student. I talk about my failures, my struggles with perfectionism, and the ups and downs of my PhD. But I feared that, without realising, I've given a picture of myself as a very organized PhD student who has everything under control. So this post is to come clean.

💬 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱. 𝗠𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰. 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝘆. 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆. 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

But the one thing I do is, I give myself time. I sit with myself to untangle the messy things: be it thoughts or schedules or cupboards. I pause and take time to untangle the chaos and bring some order. And 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, I am able to be organized.

I am also slow, in that respect. I take a lot of time to find the best way something works for me. I experiment so many apps, I seek and try so many tools/processes and change through so many plans before I find the one that works for now.

All these processes are messy, nonlinear - that's how they work. Only after I give myself the time to go through the messy am I able to feel the calm.

❓I was worried that if I share all these processes with you, wouldn't I be confusing you? What if I use one method this month and soon I find something better? So should I share only the things, I know for *sure*, that work?

💡But then I realized, this page is my *𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚* - where I store 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘋 for me and for you to see. I HAVE TO show the process, not just the end product.

I realized, you guys know that!

By sharing the process, I am sharing the reality. And only by sharing reality will I be able to form authentic connections ♥️

That's it. Just putting it out here.

So I hope to be more *real* and let's all be imperfect together in this weird journey of a lifetime!

Starting 2023 in a new apartment feels like a bit like a dream but also like an actual fresh start.

Happy New Year everyone !!

From rainy morning at the main campus to unusually longer route home, that's how I spent the last day in 2022.

passed all my classes and although grades essentially don't matter in graduate school, i'm very proud of myself for managing to get an A- in motor control :)

currently taking a writing break, as i'm trying to write the introduction for my next manuscript and i'm kind of amazed that i'm able to string together a sentence after the semester i've had.

less than 2 weeks until vacation, god i can't wait lol

I took up a research assistant post late last year, and it has its own perks. The minor downside sometimes is that I have to do some editing work during the weekend but fortunately, quite manageable.

Received the cutest and most lovely-looking cup with a saucer for my birthday. I love iiiiitttt. I get to drink my morning cuppa coffee with these. ✿
