“Are people so unhappy when they love?”

“Yes, Christine, when they love and are not sure of being loved.”

I don’t often mention my actual job but it’s been taking over a little lately. I’m currently re-reading a lot of theoretical texts on intersectional liberation politics for work, which has me writing a seemingly infinite strategy document on different recommendations for how we can spur systemic change in our organisation. I’m grateful for a rare chance to approach my job in a research-based, theoretically-focused way as I usually lead on very operational projects. Some very promising (but often frustrating, due to inaction) conversations about decolonising the university, dismantling our systems that oppress marginalised students and augmenting activism in our roles.

At home on summer break, been working to get all my assignments done before the autumn term starts. Studied in a café today, channelled my inner rory gilmore of course😌 also visited my town cathedral last week which was nice ~~~

slow sundays are the best. just enjoying some quiet time and mentally prepping myself up and setting some goals for another week of learning. also spent a few hours practicing joins and theory clauses on datacamp. i just really love how they structured their lessons to 'learning by doing' and 'repetition until retention'.

no big deal just my favorite corner spot was open at lunchtime on a Sunday in the south this IS ICONIC

16 February 2022

Up bright and early for a family member's birthday and trying to get back into the swing of things with studying. I've been terribly slack over the past six weeks due to trying to figure out my health.

Started the morning with more summaries of notes for my Values and Ethics unit. Twelve days until the semester starts
