╰┈➤ 14/100 days of productivity 💌

I managed to make an illustration for my portfolio without going insane and overthink too much, and I really like it, I think it represents me. I also finished the first season of Cruel Summer and started watching Hannibal.

I really need to watch more movies but I'm waiting until I send my application so right now I can focus and put all my effort and time into my portfolio.

Emailing your professors when you need to ask them something, be it deadline extensions, recommendations, accepting research proposals, etc. anything needing some sort of approval is just such a traumatizing experience?? It's the "worse she can say is no" meme but like it literally is THE WORST though??? I would just DIE!

Day idek of working on my thesis

I’ve started with the writing which is very freeing. I’m also doing a significant amount of coursework so it means there’s a fixed amount of time I’m working with. Not to mention a second shorter thesis I’m doing in translation. That one doesn’t consume all of my time though. I’m thinking of setting aside two hours for exegetic writing and slowly increasing it as the semester goes on.

baby's first publication was officially published yesterday :)

#m.txt #it's just a book review and not in a particularly large journal but :) baby steps! :) #grad blogging

A shocking realisation during the first year of my PhD was that there are many, many different ways to theoretically frame the same empirical study. 🤯

#i'm currently revising my manuscript #somewhat reframing my prior work #and it makes me look at my own findings differently! #putting them in different contexts and all #kind of overwhelming tbh #phd #phd life #phdblr #gradblr #grad blogging #psychology #child development

hi fellow PhD students, how do you all structure your days and how often do you rest?

Grad school is making me feel very alienated, and not for whatever usual reasons…

Legit, the courses aren’t even that hard, so I hve time to do other things that I want to.

But I’m in a hybrid setting where some of us are in person, and some of us are online. I’m online.

Us students who are online are treated very differently. We’re not allowed to have our cameras on, we’re not allowed to turn on our mic unless it’s something important, the professor keeps the camera off so we’re not able to see her or the other students, we’ve complained about not being able to hear some of the students in class but they won’t do anything about it, everything we say is refuted but the in person students are always right (even when they say the same things we do). Even though in person students sometimes go online when they can’t make it in, they weren’t included in an email about “proper zoom etiquette”. When we couldn’t hear the sound to a documentary that one professor wanted the class to watch together, she literally said “oh well” before a student in class got up to fix it. She was literally going to make us watch the video with no sound. The in person students all get to go on trips together to different museums in order to see behind the scenes, paid for by the program. You know how it feels when you’re talking about something important to you and someone just says “okay” and goes to talk to someone else, or just ignores you? This is legitimately happening every day to us in class, and it’s infuriating.

It’s not like I’m online because I want to be. I’m online because I’m disabled and can’t live by myself in a state that’s 12 hours away from anyone who knows me. Hell, I can barely live alone 30 minutes away from someone who knows me. This is just another example of how I get treated less than just because I’m not able bodied. As an academic, who wants to continue being an academic, academia is so ableist and gatekeepy and bullshit.

holding student conferences this week. successfully performing the role of College Instructor despite the fact that my tummy hurts so bad

#self #can’t even be mad that this one dude stood me up for a zoom conference bc I get to curl up in my chair like a millipede for longer #grad blogging

The thing is that I will never, except in extremely dire circumstances, email anybody important from my phone. This is because I use the swipe to text function and it gives me some weird autocorrect options sometimes. For instance, the other day I was texting my friend about wearing my sluttiest dress to get cocktails with my husband, and my phone autocorrected 'sluttiest' to 'aorist,' since I presumably use that word more often. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I, a philology grad student, do not want to find out what abomination of a sentence I might accidentally email my supervisor if I am trying to discuss with him some point of Indo-European tense systems and my phone decides to take this autocorrect in the opposite direction.

#grad blogging #academia #classics #philology #linguistics #lingblr #y'all might think this is a joke but i for sure have used the word aorist in at least three emails in the past six months #not taking any chances

My coffee machine broke a few days ago and I want to say I’ve been handling it very well (curling up in bed in despair)

╰┈➤ 15/100 days of productivity 💌

Today I went to visit a family friend in the country side, we had a beer and listened to music. I made her discover Arctic Monkeys' music and she loved them!

Guys BTW I have a work twitter account for hopefully promoting my research (when it gets done). I would really appreciate connecting with other astronomers or grad students on there! Pls tell me your usernames and my one is @mac-meijin.

After being on annual leave for a week, then on sick leave all of last week, today it was finally time to get my head back in the game. Happy to report that I reached today's goal by reading and summarising four articles. ✨️

it’s very weird being a swiftie who LOVES Taylor’s re-recording projects while also being a PhD student publishing papers because it’s like why am I signing away my intellectual brainchild to a damn publisher for nothing except a line on my CV 😭
