I am very much behind with my master’s dissertation. It took me a while to figure out the direction of the work, but mostly, I’ve been procrastinating on reading, which is why I now find myself with over 60 papers left to annotate and code before the end of the month. May then will be dedicated to write, as the deadline is June 1st. V stressed, but I do like my topic very much.

mulling over what it means to build a home, which feels very fitting for Bath

Thinking is all about the ability to look at complex situations and strip away things that don't count—the ability to filter out situations and find what's at their core. — Paraphrasing Douglas Hofstadter (from Farnam Street's Newsletter)

#i live in university housing but i could afford to live alone (and to buy a home alone) #(won't be buying anything this year as i want to have more in savings though) #about me #yet four years ago i had to move back to my parents as my savings were running out and i had no job! how things have changed!

An unusual Georgian-era pendant with imagery associated with mourning, however the images are composed entirely of micro-calligraphy text recalling the dates of death, and biblical verses. Extremely rare. Images on both sides. The case is gold filled.

#not surprised that other is the highest % #who in their right mind sorts by any of these? with the exception of author they sound insane #i find books sorted by colour in a “rainbow” like way very displeasing to the eye #but! if you sort by colour in the sense of “in an aesthetically pleasing way” then yess girl i like that and do the same #though first they are organized by genre/category/subject #and then i try to make it look nice #i.e. a good MIX of colours not the rainbow thing #book notes

thesis chronicles yet again: met with my supervisor & she thinks this has great potential and wants to try to make it into an article we can submit for publication. love that and she's so kind but I still have over 100 papers to read so there's that. guess I need to aim to read 7 articles everyday?? the reading itself is not the difficult part, it's the note taking and "processing" of each article, which takes a lot of time. and I have three classes to pass??

#im glad she went from skepticism to a strong belief that this can be good after seeing my first two chapters. i get it. #but i dont know if i can do it #p

got feedback from my master thesis supervisor on the first two chapters of my dissertation & i'm buzzing with excitement!! she's tearing my intro apart, but she is right and i can see how i can improve it

#unfortunately i have to prepare for a presentation for tomorrow #but i want to edit my draft!! write!! #and again unfortunately i have SOOO much reading to do #she's so kind and nice. we don't work well at the idea stage but that's because our methodologies clash #which is why we settled for a lit review --- which however is way more work #p
