i’ve been feeling very unsure and hopeless about everything. now more than ever, i’m trying to go with the flow, have backup options in mind, as i don’t have any visions on what to plan.

feb. 21

the second round of retake exams starts tomorrow. i'm anxious to the bone and i'm not. there's a mandatory internship in the faculty's legal clinic this semester though, excited to at least showcase some practical skills.

no idea what's going on with my job, but i'm trying to work, see how it'll work out.

it was, in fact, not late to get in touch with some classmates that look like fun. we've been going out and around.

i visibly have everything i'd practically prayed for a couple of months ago, yet it's even more chaotic. i'd rather have the chaos.

I’ve spend a few full days at the library studying. It was so empty and atmospheric I was actually managing to get stuff done. Alas, very little.

Meanwhile, the job I was offered is getting postponed so much and I missed some good opportunities just for that. It’s making me infinitely sad, I hope something works out,

Applied for a couple of remote internships which seem super interesting, doing another leadership program,

Starting German lessons in a couple of weeks, so langblr content expectable?

I’m about 95% sure that I won’t even be a candidate for an exchange semester, but I’m blindly looking forward to applying??

Another book I recently bought. I was so eager to read something light-hearted and winter themed.

Monday, the 16th of January

Last night I made some insane plans for the summer that I really wish to realise for myself, for my academic journey and for my career. Let's see if we can make them reality!

Studying

Practice Russian

Finish at least three exam simulations

Read 85 pages of Requiem

Japanese-Canadian literature course

Scan literature [pushed to another day]

Read literature on Indian economy

Start researching History Writing in the digital age

Things my heart needs

Yoga and a walk in the morning, lunch with a friend and printing pictures for my wall

hit 200 followers today ty! it feels good knowing a group of people as big as my uni class is watching, with the difference of not having the judgmental eye.

i was relieved that there’s about a week until my next exam, but i relaxed instead of studying in small chunks so trying to take in as much information as possible now.

one more main exam after that and i’m starting retakes. hopefully i’ll pass from the first try. second round retakes are tragic.

2023 as a numerical representation of the year feels so wrong, yet numbers are just numbers and it’s the case with every new year.

i’ve started the year pretty discouraged. while i’ve been getting different forms of therapy, i still don’t know how i’m going to pick myself back up.

wishing prosperity upon everyone for the rest of the academic year!
