Books and stuff for the two classes I have today, and a shot of a very messy corner of my desk.

I've also made a new hashtag #catastrophicdays which I'm gonna use for all my original pictoral posts so I don't lose them myself.

"I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible."

Online dark academia

includes cups of black coffee that you can't seem to stop drinking (the feeling is exhaustion doesn't go away ), overflowing creativity for anything except the school work you should be doing, hands with strains of 'red ink' that won't wash away no matter how hard you try, and the obligatory spiral into madness as you're trapped inside your home.

I've started learning Japanese properly now. Today I learnt the vowels, their pronounciation and how to write them. I'm a little perfectionist so as you can see I've practiced over and over how to write. In the coming days I'll do more when I have time.

I also do not have an access to graph sheet notebooks at the moment, which is why I have to practice in this ruled notebook. But I've learnt languages in blank sheets before so I don't think it's going to be a problem.

I'll keep updating on my progress once in a while.

Studying Marlowe

We are way into our syllabus, and the professors are movie fast. Sometimes I feel like I am lagging behind, so I need to catch up real quick. I am going to make bujo notes real soon, and I might post it.

My academic books!

Here are all the books I have bought for my college. Some are a second hand and some aren't. Personally, I prefer old books over new ones, because not only do they cost less but also I get the annotations of the previous owner for free! Sustainability is fun.

I have been trying to read The Picture of Dorian Gray for like two months now, but my ADHD brain won't allow me more than two pages in a week, so yah.

Also, I absolutely despise Lord Henry (I've seen the movie) but in this instance, for once, I sorta agree with him.

That feeling when you have a greater unearthly realisation in the middle of the night, and all of a sudden it feels like you can touch and sense everything, all emotions flows through you and you are you and you are one and all of it just passes in front of your eyes in a flash as you tightly shut your eyelids to a plethora of phosphenes. That's the moment, that's when you know you are Alive.

Book Store vibes.

13/04/21

Went to a book store in the area of my old school yesterday, and it was lovely being there. It's an Oxford book store, and the smell of books as I enter through those doors is riveting! Can't believe in all my time studying in that school I actually never visited that place. So now, it's oddly nostalgic yet such a new experience.

Trying to read a little bit of Macbeth today. We have the full play for this semester and its my first time reading it. Also this is a second hand book (like most of my books) so please don't worry about my annotations. That's how I always annotate anyway.

My Journals

I just spend a huge amount of time doodling this for an instagram post I will be making in a while on my art account. So, these are all my Journals that I use more-or-less on the daily.

Pentheus being a gay panic for 1 minute "straight"

Those of you who don't get it, it's a portion from the story Pentheus and Bacchus from the book 3 of Metamorphoses, which is in my syllabus.
