illegible handwriting, coffee rings on notebooks, putting gloves on only to take them off again, dark lipstick, walking to class when it's not raining enough for an umbrella but just enough to fog up your glasses, stone buildings, latin poetry, pen smudges, waking up while its still dark outside, cinnamon, cold noses, swaying trees, half moons, cuffed sleeves, silence

Banging my head on my laptop's keyboard, hoping that the keysmash on google scholar will produce me a nice and interesting 12th century Icelandic manuscript I can work on for my MA's thesis

I am no longer doing the 100 Days of Productivity, simply because I have too many things to attend. Luckily for me, most of these things will have interesting results which I cannot wait to share with you. I will keep posting pictures of my studies here anyway. I am also thinking of doing something new/special...but you'll see

I am a LESBIAN, so OF COURSE I am not immune to the charm and appeal of male professors!!!

#you thought i didn't like MEN?? well you are WRONG #i like my professors very much #it's the mixture of academic and male validation and possibly also a hint of daddy issues #dark academia #wlw

You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

Tomorrow I finally get to drink coffee from my favourite glass! No more travel cups, for 8.30 classes are no more for this week!

October 19th, 2023 — 2/100 days of productivity

Days are passing by so quickly. I have been very busy these past few weeks and I really look forward to the moment things finally start to settle down. On the bright side, I'll start with some interesting projects very soon with my supervisor, which I am very excited about. Stay tuned to find out more!

The first pic is a view of my library's stairs, which I love so so much

I swear to god that it feels to me I keep talking abt my supervisor, but that man is insane and I have yet to spend one (1) day since my graduation without him doing something absolutely crazy

Like, today he sent an email asking me if I wanted to work on an Italian translation of The Dream of The Root, from the Old English copy of the Vercelli Book. Like bro, chill, I graduated last Friday, what's with all the projects

#the bro already asked me to lecture at one of his classes #you know for fun #studyblr #university #studying #student #study #studyspo #motivation #medieval academia #dark academia

My supervisor doesn't know about the crazy idea I have for my Master's thesis. He doesn't know. Oh, wait...what are you doing. Why are you explaining to me what I need to do. I haven't told you yet. How do you know. Did you read my mind? Am I really that predictable?

Graduating comes with a series of unexpected privileges. Like, I passed from being a normal student to having a drink (two, actually) with my supervisor, calling him by name and having him kiss my cheeks to thank me (it's an Italian/European thing, so don't worry) in the span of...four days. Like whaaat?

#seriously tho don't worry about the kisses they are not even kisses more like little pecks on the cheeks #i gave him a little gift to thank him for his work on my thesis and in Italy that's just how you thank people #btw he's the only man worth of respect on this planet #studyblr #university #studying #student #study #motivation

I’d like to thank [UniPD] for making me technically, on paper at least, a doctor.

Not the type of doctor you would want around in case of an emergency. Unless your specific emergency was that you desperately needed [a very specific fact on 9th century Viking raids in Northumbria]. Or, if your emergency was that you needed a person who can name over 50 breeds of cats in one minute.¹

I think the university course database should have a filter to only show classes taught by extremely old people who are insane
