Stopped by this bookshop after visiting the British Museum! My biggest regret is not bringing an empty bag to England, I found so many interesting books but had no space left for them 🥲

The week started in a very stressful way, so much so that I decided to skip class today. Yesterday was really too much for me with my commute and everything, and at the end of the day I am not missing anything too important with today's lecture. I took this as a way to start working for my English lit exam. I realized I had a pretty big block with it, I just couldn't bring myself to do stuff for this exam because it makes me very nervous (especially writing a paper for it). I decided to start with easy approachable tasks in order to get started and so far it's working. My paper will be on The Merchant Of Venice, which means that I need to reread the play and annotate the useful passages, but before I do that I wanted to write in pen all the annotations I originally wrote in pencil. So this was my main task of the day. Tomorrow I will start my first reread of the play, and once I am done with that I will plan the next move. I feel like this is the best way for me to approach a task that scares me. Just break it down in much smaller tasks and start on the easier ones.

productivity:

read first thing in the morning

small plan of my tasks for the next few days

rewrote in pen my book annotations

run some errands with my mum

updated my reading journal

Irish on duolingo

📖: Miti E Leggende Dei Celti by M. Fois

🎵: Miracle by A Day To Remember

24.04.2024 // slowly becoming one with this desk. the wires bother me a lot so i've sought advice from a friend on how to organise them better. hopefully, they'll stop looking like such dump. a colleague also donated her french press to the office, which means that i don't have to spend $10 on coffee everyday because frankly, that is utterly absurd and I had, in fact, stopped drinking coffee for a while. but can't do without that caffeine; it keeps me functioning.

Day 14 of 31 days until Dissertation Deadline

Another chore day! Welcome to the endless cycle of life!

I danced too much while doing chores today so I'm in pain, but that's my life, I guess.

Today I:

Put my washing in.

Cleared my room of trash (including the many bottles and cans of Diet Coke I accumulate as they wait for recycling day).

Washed up all my dishes so I can start afresh tomorrow.

Finished 'Book 10' of Le Morte d'Arthur and read the entire of 'Book 11'.

Caught a coelacanth in Animal Crossing. This equally as important as yesterday's golden trout but less remarkable since I did use bait.

FaceTimed my bio parent. I got to see the cats - cat time is the most important part of weekly parent FaceTimes.

So a decent amount. Which is nice to see.

See you tomorrow!

23.04.2024 // some affect theory and writing on a fairly warm day. i'm taking it slow this week, mostly because i feel lazy and kind of...blah.

affect always escapes any attempt to explain or understand it because it lies outside of language or cognition. perhaps that explains why affect seems so vague and abstract. im trying to figure out if affect theory will be useful for my research but I won't pursue it if it continues to be beyond my grasp.

Day 96 • 100 Days of Productivity

In the home stretch for the semester! Just have two weeks left and then i'm off for break and I don't have to worry about any school work until august, and then I'm only taking two classes instead of the 6 i'm taking now. I'm very tired but I'm gonna push through it, I know I can do it. Honestly the only final that I'm worried about is my ITE Principles of Information Systems class, but I got a 100% on my database project and my professor posted a study sheet so I think I'll be fine. I want to start studying sooner than I did for our midterm because I only got a 75% on that. Other than that I'm all good. I can't wait to sleep lol.

21.04.2024—chaotic first week back at work, spent today (sunday) rotting in bed

The second week of University

15th to 21st of April 2024

I am buried under to-do's and oscillate between eager fascination and fatigued stress. Monday, I began practising my conversational Czech, and damn, there is so much room for improvement. Although my professor was happy with my skills, I felt like I barely kept my head above water. Tuesdays are long and filled with administrative tasks and research. I was invited to dinner with my coworkers but instead drove home during the sunset, still feeling somewhat awake and took the dog for an evening round. Even though the discomfort of (possibly) missing out flooded my body, I was so content sharing the nightly silence with only my dog and the slowly darkening sky. On Wednesdays during my history seminar, I have the most interesting discussions and jokes with a classmate, exchanging recommendations for academic literature. A bit of a dry start into Thursday is an obligatory class on professional writing followed by an intimate Russian practice, and I was thrilled to be invited to join the feminist art collective as a coordinator and staff member for the art space. During the weekend, I spent two days with my childhood best friend. We visited an art exhibit and a concert, plus he cooked a delicious Turkish dinner for us to have a heart-to-heart over. Today's Sunday, the end of a busy week and I still have lots of work to finish, including a presentation, a small essay and Czech translations. It's already quite late in the afternoon, and I just came home from my shift at the coffee house.

April 19th, 2024

Rainy days and my mood is low. I'm exhausted to my bones, really tired. I'm running on caffeine, sugar, and painkillers. This is definitely not healthy and I hope things will change soon. At least I know that in a few weeks it's all over but the end seems far away.
