20052022 - Even tough I officially finished my degree a bit over a week ago, I was not able to take a break yet! For one, I still have to work and I really need to get on top of a few things that I pushed back during my exam preparation. Second, I found a job advertisement incl. a PhD, a day after I had my oral exam, but I have to apply by Sunday 🙃 so I am preparing an application at the moment as well as a short PhD proposal, even though it's not the real thing I should hand in (it's not obligatory, fortunately), but at least I have to try!

Hi, i'm the anon who asked earlymoderngothic about the phd printed copys. Can i ask you if you printed copys just for the tribunal members or also for the suplents?

Thanks for your coments on this subject. I feel i lttle bit lost.

Hello!

I'm afraid I won't be really helpful on that topic. I'm French, and we don't have this distinction between tribunal members and suplents here. I had one "jury director", the president of the Uni and three teachers who were jury members, and I printed four copies, one for each jury member + the director.

The best way to figure this out would be to ask an older student, or to write to the members to ask them what they prefer.

Sorry for not being able to give a better answer, I hope you'll find a solution! Good luck!

July in books

Copying @earlymoderngothic and doing a little reading wrap up for July!

I would say that I truly found my way back to reading for fun again in July, which makes me so happy! Granted a few of these I’d started earlier and just finished last month, but I’m glad that I kept up with my current stack too and didn’t just pick new reads.

My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff (4 stars)

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (3 stars)

Play It as It Lays by Joan Didion (3 stars)

After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz (4 stars)

A Kind of Magic by Luke Edward Hall (5 stars)

The House of Hunger by Dambudzo Marechera (3 stars)

All of the book were books I owned while reading, and out of all of them After Sappho was the one I listened to fully on audio. It was a pretty good reading month all in all!

Finally made the beetroot and blue cheese scones I told @earlymoderngothic about (like 2 years ago lol). They aren't bad but neither good, probably has to do with the fact that I changed the recepie :)

Al fin hice los scones de remolacha y queso azul! No salieron súper, seguramente tiene que ver con que cambie la receta jaja. Como que no quedo con una textura súper sconosa

Thanks for the tag @the---hermit ! 💕

Nickname: tbh i don't really have one? Some friends call me b. Just the letter b. (Short for Bea.) Others call me Emma or Sara bc for some reason people seem to mistake me for those names fairly frequently. Like a weird amount. Neither of those even slightly resemble Grace, but i guess they still count as nicknames?

Sign: Cancer

Height: somewhere around 5'7? 5'8?

Last thing I googled: EDC removal biodegradation

Song stuck in my head: Fired My Therapist by Madelline

No. of followers: on this account it's a pleasant 198!! Love you guys! 💕💕

Amount of sleep: 2 hrs. Help. Akjxkajska

Lucky number: 3, 7, 11, 12

Dream job: probably like a museum or hotel guest services specialist. Working with people directly to teach them about local wildlife and natural history while also still having highly variable days that allow me to work within a WIDE skill set. I think I'd also really like consulting as a sustainable design specialist! Or being a professor! Or scientific diving! Or-!

Wearing: Very comfy teal-ish pajama pants + yellow shirt + pinkish peach sweatshirt

Movies/books that summarize you: BOOKS: The Martian by Andy Weir, The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges, The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Instant Karma AND Cress by Marissa Meyer, Journey to the Center of The Earth by Jules Verne, Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell, Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan, Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. MOVIES: Princess Bride, Moana, Finding Nemo, Frozen, The Sound of Music

Favorite song: Take the Weight by Kristin Stokes and Rob Rokicki. (Subject to change in the next 30-1300 seconds)

Aesthetic: morning light shining through crystals in windows and casting rainbows all around a room. Water splashing up and sparkling in the light during an early morning paddle out to a quiet surfing spot. overgrown jungle trails teeming with unusual life. Paint stains on old t-shirts and paintbrushes tucked into perpetually wild hair. Well-worn field guides, pocket-sized sketch pads, multi tools long since broken in, creased maps covered in scrawled writing, and pages and pages of notes (with exclamation points aplenty) on how to read the land, sea, and sky. Stacks of books lovingly arranged and filled with homemade book marks (paint swatches with doodles inked on). Dream destinations tacked up on the wall. Musical instruments and songbooks in every corner. Whiteboards with doodles and architectural sketch ideas with arrows pointing to hastily written acronyms and questions. Laptop with one million tabs open. Leg always bouncing, eyes always starry, shoes always tied tightly ready for the next adventure. Always humming. Faint smell of green tea and vanilla.

Favorite authors: Marissa Meyer, Rick Riordan, Neal Shusterman, Rachel Carson

Favorite animal noise: when my dog gets really excited she does this lil grunting thing that sounds a bit like a contented Berkshire pig. She's so weird i love her so much.

Random: I have a long term goal of watching all the Disney movies in the primary language of the country in which they’re set, so I’m trying to learn like All The Languages. It’s a lot but it’s FUN. The University of Hawaii at Manoa sent me a copy of Moana in Hawaiian like a year ago and I’m STILL freaking out about it ITS SO COO L.

January 25 2022 – Lots of Feelings

It is a truth universally acknowledged that I am obsessed with Pride and Prejudice. This is, after all, the reason I own 12 copies of it, because several people have gifted me different gorgeous editions. I have so many feelings about this book, that I still cannot bring myself to write a review, knowing it would fail to capture exactly how I feel.

February 17 2022 – The Great Gatsby

If you enjoyed reading The Great Gatsby as I did, another classic you might enjoy reading is Dracula. I first read The Great Gatsby many years ago in highschool, but only read Dracula last year and absolutely loved it. It’s also much more funny than you might expect.

03052022 - Preparing the general outline of the argumentation of my last topic for the oral exam, has been and still is such a struggle, because I'm so tired at this point and really want this all to be over soon. I think I've already said that a few times, but I am so ready for a break! I would love to go on vacation to celebrate the occasion but everyone that could go with me has either uni or is working on their thesis themselves 😩

But there was a little twist in my routine this week! Last year I signed up for volunteer work at the local library, driving around with a bike and reading to mainly little kids. We had our first tour yesterday and we went to a kindergarten and it was such a nice experience? My group was a little chaotic, four year olds can be very extroverted, but we had such a beautiful hidden picture book (I don't actually know if that's the right term, in German it's Wimmelbuch) and everybody was so excited about the contents of the pages and finding the dog, I really enjoyed it!

I was tagged by the lovely @the---hermit !! Thanks friends 💕🌊

Are there any books you started this year that you still need to finish?

Oh HEAVENS yes. So so many. If you want the full list, please feel free to peruse my current reads on Goodreads. It’s so many. The ones I am most anxious to finish are In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall, Vanishing Fish by Daniel Pauly, The Invention of Nature by Andrea Wulf, How to Clone a Mammoth by Beth Shapiro, and Rum ‘n’ Coca by Gareth Mason. (That last one I won as a part of a book giveaway! It was my first book giveaway win EVER, and I can’t wait to get further into it!)

Do you have any autumnal books to transition into the end of the year?

Yes! I’m currently doing the Fall of Financial and Life Skills Literacy Challenge, which is a challenge in the sense that I wrote out a themed booklist for myself and I intend to finish it. Also, my Winter of Wildness challenge is coming soon! Some of the books on the (other) fall lists include: The Breath of a Whale by Leigh Calvez, The World is Blue by Sylvia Earle, and The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien which are autumnal books bc I think they’re cozy. 💕 I’m still choosing some winter titles, but I think I’m gonna try to get to Wilding by Isabella Tree and/or The Science and Spirit of Seaweed by Andrea Swinimer.

Is there a new release you’re waiting for?

Gleanings: Stories from the Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman, David Yoon, and Jarrod Shusterman! It came out on Nov 8, and I am VERY excited to read it!!! I just have to find a copy somewhere.

What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?

Aside from the few books left on the 22 books in 2022 challenge, those on my F.A.L.L. list, and the other books on my as of yet unpublished lists, I’d also like to read How To Speak Whale: A Voyage into the Future of Animal Communication by Tom Mustill, Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig, and Hail Mary by Andy Weir. These are softer goals though, since I have so so many other books on my list.

Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year?

I’m pretty excited to read Plastic by Susan Freinkel! I’ve read parts of it already, and it’s FASCINATING stuff. This year I’ve been developing some strong opinions on some particularities of modern materials science, and I think Plastic might be a helpful guide in honing my knowledge. I’m also really excited to see which research centers the author engaged with/find out if any are open for public (or student) viewing!

Have you already started making plans for next year?

Oh you betcha! I have so so many lists and early stage plans scribbled out for next year. Once I get some of my ideas narrowed down a little more, I might just post a few of those lists and plans here!
