#curretly studying

curretly thinking how much Arya would have loved Arianne or Margaery, they would have really helped her be the person she wanted to be. Arya would have loved them so much and I'm sure if Arya had known them she would have wished they were her sister.
its a fun and interesting thing to consider on a lot of different levels (which i guess is why your ask inspired me to go off on some insane tangent)
margaery has quite a bit in common with arya: avid horseback riders, highly sociable, energetic, close with her brothers. its funny that sansa views one as her ideal sister while continuing to disparage her real sister's ghost as marg takes her on an active, outdoorsy date where they're hunting and riding (not unlike what arya wanted to do in sansa's 1st chapter) generally, arya was restricted from hunting type hobbies.......despite the fact it always been a common activity for highborn women.
which is a major flaw in grrm's early worldbuilding that marg and arianne (among MANY others) emphasize. in agot we get a glimpse into arya's upbringing and the expectation is an extremely narrow feminine ideal. sure, arya is given a lot of freedom to play but her (and sansa's) education is mostly left to an incompetent septa. they're clearly being molded for a mostly ornamental role and that is at odds with the rest of the text. ive complained about this before bc catelyn is not a vain character. she values practicality and duty. she was a teen bride and ran riverrun (+winterfell) from a young age. so why are her daughters being turned into dolls by an outsider? why werent practical skills prioritized?
for relevant context: in agot im fairly certain we get only one (1) adult northern born woman on page: maege mormont who is fierce, outspoken, and wields a weapon. (slightly ot note:) i hate the show as much as the next person but arya being a proficient archer from jump wasnt actually a half bad idea........precedent for that in canon too from rohanne webber to alysanne blackwood to ygritte. the wildlings are another notable example of northern women. so riddle me this: if 99% of the north's female characters break the feminine mold (lyanna, arya, wylla, the mormonts, the wildlings, meera, alys) why are they treated as the exception by the fandom? *syrio voice* i am wondering! (im not actually its bc tumblr dot com values the traditionally feminine ideal)
and i dont buy that its exclusively a north vs. south issue. when we meet the tyrell women we see that marg has been raised by olenna to be shrewd and capable. but catelyn is a deadbeat mother lol. neither arya or sansa think about her giving them guidance, advice, lessons, ect. arya was, apparently, just told to look pretty. catelyn's main memory of sansa is that she has nice hair. like.......ok. grrm is on record saying he regrets not developing the relationship between cat and her daughters, but unlike my next point this is something he never even tried to fix.
theres a real lack of female companions in general to start. now to grrms credit he clearly realized this oversight AND attempted to course correct with success imo. ie: arya's storyline in braavos features a lot of female characters (a trend i expect to only grow stronger in twow). as do most of the others.
arianne and her crew are an even more dramatic southron example. arya is treated like a freak for wanting basic autonomy; then we go to dorne and those girlies do whatever the hell they want for the most part: spears, studies, sex, ect. doran only draws the line at treason bc they were fucking up his own shit. but yeah needless to say arya wouldve flourished.
similarly, i love to think about arya being fostered on bear island or post series some of them joining arya's household. im genuinely desperate to see her interacting with the mormonts. i start shaking when i think about aly en route to braavos.
my point here is that i think the dynamic we're introduced to in winterfell, among the female characters, in agot looks very unusual in hindsight. and the worst part is that arya gets regarded by the fandom as a pariah who's only fate could be exile bc she doesnt meet an oppressive standard set by one annoying septa who made her feel bad about herself.

8/30 days of self care
Today I was in a weird mood all day, I cannot say I was feeling bad but I cannot either say I was feeling good. I didn't go on my morning walk, since in the afternoon I had to work and I would be working on my thesis only in the morning. I did update my reading journal, and I started to set up my bullet journal for the last months of the year (since I will be saying the one I am curretly using at the end of July). These two things were quite relaxing. As I was doing that I listened to a couple of chapters of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I also read first rhing in the morning which is always nice. Study-wise I have continued writing my thesis, which is proving to be an exciting yet slow process, and I have also practiced Irish on duolingo.
tranquilstudy's studyblr challenge // day 12
What reminds you of home? Share some pictures that you’ve taken around your city (or your favourite public place or coffee shop to study or read in in your city).
The one thing that makes me feel home when I come back from a trip or from holidays it's the mountains. My town is in a pretty thight valley, so once I see the mountains, my mountains, I instantly feel at home. They make me feel safe in a way, and I am so used to have this natural hug around me, that I physically miss it when I am away from long. I feel such a sense of protection, I could never live in the city or by the seaside from example. (You can see part of the mountains in the picture above)

Royal Wedding: Non Royals Guests and Queen Sofia’s Family Arriving at the Abbey 
It seems both the Crown Princess and the Duke of Hemlock get along very well with their exes, since they both invited their former partners to their wedding! The famous Miss Alice Stone arrived at the abbey next to her partner Mr. Fernand Blair. Even though the couple has already welcomed a son, they have no plans of getting married any time soon. However, it seems they are very happy together.
Tumblr media
Probably the most famous ex girlfriend of HRH Prince Andrew has also arrived with this group. The famous super model Miss Irina Loyd has made an amazing come back after staying away from the spotlight to deal with her anxiety. While the model is not dating Prince Andrew anymore, she is still very close to the Crown Princess and she wouldn’t miss her wedding. 
Tumblr media
Right after Irina are Mr. and Mrs. Adams, who recently got married in Sulani. Daniel dated the Crown Princess for a long time, but we all know how that ended. Even though it took some time for the former couple to get along, it seems they are finally over their old drama. 
Tumblr media
Right after the Adams are the Miles brothers. Mr. Elijah Miles is currently dating HRH Princess Emmanuelle and Mr. Arthur Miles is HRH best friend, so of course they wouldn’t miss the royal wedding. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Queen Sofia’s family arrived next. It’s been a while since we last saw Her Majesty’s parents and siblings, so we are very happy to see them again. Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie are the Crown Princess’ grandparents from the Queen’s side of course. Following the grandparents is Connor Mackenzie, the Queen’s brother, who recently got divorced. His ex wife, Andrea Mackenzie was still invited to the wedding, but she decided not to attend the event. Miss Chelsea and Mr. James Mackenzie, Connor’s children, arrived next to their father and grandparents.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last, but not least, is the Queen’s younger sister Mrs. Sabrina Simons-Mackenzie and her husband Mr. Nicholas Simons. The couple is curretly expecting their first child together after being married for almost ten years. Sabrina, who looks a lot like her older sister, decided to wait a while before starting a family, mostly because she wanted to finish her studies and get a good job before becoming a mother.

anticipation
I’m curretly taking classes at the moment, working on finishing up a degree and for my elective class we had to choose from a few images to recreate. I chose the following (http://www.dawnsartnotes.com/assets/leonardo-da-vinci-sketch.jpg) and below is my recreation. Not my finest work as i know I severely lack in the art skills, but from far away i think i did okay lol
Tumblr media
You can likely understand why I chose the above image. I don’t know how to really describe everything I’ve been going through. I have so many questions and concerns in my head at the moment that it feels overwhelming at times. I dont know how I’m going to manage work, baby, and college courses. I may have to take a break from my studies. How am I even going to manage work and baby at the same time? I don’t have parents (or in-laws) that can just be here at my beck and call. Nannies/daycare I’m assuming is super expensive. I don’t have the option of working part time for my position; and in no way could I imagine quitting. I’ve worked so hard to get to this point. 
So what is there to do? I told myself a long time ago that if I was ever given the oppurtunity to be a mom, I would be there for my kid. I dont necessarily mean helicopter parenting. It’s just, my mom wasn’t around a lot, she was busy working and making sure all her kids were fed. I understand the position she was in and in no way am I ungrateful for her sacrifices. But here I am, 22 weeks pregnant, so here’s my chance to make good on that promise. 
I hope I’m a good mom. 
Tumblr media
on another note I finally publiclly announced the pregnancy on social media. A part of me wanted to wait a bit longer but I don’t think i could contain it in anymore. I wanted to share the news with the world, I want it to be real. I really love seeing my belly grow with each passing day. I don’t think I’ve grown that much overall, but who knows. I’ve indulged all of my whims!

So my phone battery died so of course I need the PIN code to unlock my SIM card
Now, the problem is that I recently got a new phone that needed a new SIM card with a new PIN code that I, a mf-ing dumbass didn’t bother to change ‘cause I thought I’ll remember.... and now turns out I don’t remember it. Of course.
The worst thing is I have the code somewhere in the house where my parents live but I literally do not have any way to contact them other than through a phone xD I even tried to search for my dad on fb but I think he deleted xDD and I’m curretly alone at this flat so I can’t use my flatmates’ one either .... so I guess I have no choice but to go home in the morning even though I planned to stay the weekend here to study in peace and quiet :/

Today didn't go as planned. I was supposed to have the day off work, but I ended up going and working all morning. This was due to the fact that it was the first day of opening after a small summer break, and you have no idea what kind of mess it is dealing with newspapers and magazines. I stll managed to take a morning walk, because I went to work by walking, and I got to see two roe deers on my path. Anyway, after everything I still had a small thing to do with my brother, for work, in the afternoon. I then started reading one of the archeology articles I have to study. I must say I have struggled with my focus studying. I did about a third of it and took some notes. I have also finished tabbing the book on roman myths I am currently reading, so that I will find informations again in the future. I have planned what I am going to study tomorrow, and I now plan to write down a new inttoduction post for this blog, and after that I want to take some time to practice self care.
23rd August - Have you ever been really badly sunburnt? 
Not really. The few times I got sunburnt it was a bit on my nose, but not much.

I made lavender lemonade and LOOK AT THE COLOUR.
21|08|2021
Today I was supposed to work all day, but unexpectedly we managed to get everything done by 13.30. This means that I had enough time to make this amazing lemonade, and start reading the last chapter of my book on medieval archeology. I am also planning on finishing writing a short story I started a few days ago.
Summer studying challenge //21st August - Sandals or flip flops?
 I don't wear sandals, cause I prefer cosed shoes. I do wear flip flops at the beach, and in the garden when I'm not barefoot.

My goals for this week are to finish reading and annotating my book on queer history ( around half of the book) and to create a decent routine study for studying stuff for this class and my history of ancient philosophy class. I have planned my reading of the book but I still have to come up with a good plan for managing everything togheter. Today I :
Started my day by watering all the plants in my garden
Caught up with a few news-letter emails I had been procrastinating reading
Read and annotated a whole chapter of my queer history book
Continued the listening of the audiobook of The Fellowship Of The Ring
Finally put up on a wall the puzzle I finished assembling a few weeks ago (it was a nightmare because the frame I bought wasn't the best, but it did it!)
Journaled
Hopefully later I will read / listen to the audiobook some more.
