13.10.21// another day of planning and editing… so far, i’m kind of happy with the first draft of my dissertation, i’ll probably just add few footnotes here and there and include some thoughts and concepts from my recent conference talks :)

also, some really exciting things came in in the mail today!!

10.23.21 | I wonder if there’s a word for the passing of days feeling both fast & interminable at the same time. I’m sure there must be. It’s honestly how I’ve been feeling for the past couple of weeks. While I was able to accomplish a lot of things on my to do lists, every single task just took so much longer than I thought it would. That could either be a testament to how poorly I manage my time, or how unrealistic I am with my daily goals. 

Featured above are two of my current reads: American Gods by Neil Gaiman, & The Ballad of Reading Gaol and Other Poems by Oscar Wilde. I’m getting through them slowly as I can only spare an hour or less on reading these days. But no matter how little or how much I read, it always helps to make me feel somewhat saner.

9/10 day! Spent over 5h on work today, all of which was focused. I also completed today's work out and was pretty motivated. Today I also saw a video on how to create systems instead of just setting goals, which came at an incredibly opportune time, with my recent Enlightenment of sort of creating a system and sticking to it. Got very inspired and set up a vision board of sorts and came up with some goals and tried to sync my current system to those goals. I ended up sleeping quite late, recently I've had more quiet late nights of motivation, which is not very good but I think I can function pretty well with 7.5h of sleep, so I suppose if it's a weekend then I could be a little less strict. But anyway it's already past when I should be ij bed even on weekends so I shall pack up quickly and wake up to a great tomorrow :)

Happy Sunday everyone! I’m working on some homework this afternoon, I’m feeling a bit lost and hoping I understand the assignment correctly. One of the most frustrating parts of university honestly is not always having clarity on your work. I hope everyone is having a productive weekend! 💛

hello friends! yes, im doing another return to my blog. honestly, running a studyblr can be tricky. it can feel hard to live up to “expectations” and feel that it is something fun. since im already being honest im going to tell you all something else. i hated school, and learning, for my first year of college. i made friends that led me into a really dark place in my life- just for them to leave me. anyways, that’s a story for another time. my point is, my education and overall college experience were tainted and it felt wrong to have a studyblr at that time in my life. BUT!!! im doing a lot better. i got my midterm grades back yesterday and they were all A’s (my mentioning this is in now way to brag- i am just super excited because that hasnt happened since middle school). however, my grade report confused me. i wondered why i was unable to achieve this when i had a studyblr- when i was telling the internet that i had my life together. then i realized my studyblr was never what it was about. not to mention, my studyblr was ingenuine. i shared the aesthetic of learning, but never shared my love for inquiry. i love school and i love learning. unfortunately, my college experience thus far hasn’t been great, but it's getting better. so with all that being said, i am back!! however, i’m going to aim for more personal posts (like motivation and tips!) because i don't feel right just reposting others' hard work (not that the sharing of ideas is bad, i love seeing everyone's hard work believe me :)). sorry for how messy and unorganized this is i didn't really plan what i was going to say i just wanted to come back!
