Trying to beat imposter syndrome by telling myself that there's only roughly 20 people in my course and that clearly there must have been more applicants? Like there aren't that many translation masters in Ireland or just Europe in general so I assume not everyone got in

It's been quite a while since my last update! I'm not a student anymore but I just wanted to give a quick little update on things. I stated in my last post that I was okay where I was and that I didn't have any true plans set into place and, to be honest, I'm still unemployed since that post. I've been doing research voluntarily for a lab and it's somewhat working out for me. I've been balancing between taking care of family and the household but it's been a bit rough for me mentally in the sense that I want to be a career-driven woman striving for success and progression in life. But with this time I've come to a realization that my undiagnosed ADHD and some lack in self-discipline isn't helping me go much further. There's pressure from life around me and societal pressure pushing onto me and I feel like it's not okay to feel okay with where I am now. If that makes any sense to anyone.

My current goal though is to pursue getting accepted into graduate school but I need to really shape myself up and battle my ADHD and gather up all the self-discipline I can to achieve that goal. It's a bit rough right now but maybe I can get a system going for me to truly pursue those goals.

Went on a tangent there but whoever you are, wherever you are, and in whatever time you're in; I hope you're looking out for yourself too! Eat well, hydrate, and stay healthy!

Guess who has an interview Monday afternoon for her M.A. Teaching and Single Subject Credential program? This woman! 🙋🏼‍♀️ One step closer to joining my post baccalaureate cohort this summer! 🙌🏼

I feel so much resistance towards making progress for my future. Because the future scares me. And I just don't want to face the fact that in seven months, I'll be done with grad school and have to have a job lined up in order to support myself. I don't want to acknowledge that in seven months, I have to be an adult and stand on my own two feet 🙃

Now let me try to get back to writing this thesis proposal, which will bring this future one step closer...

A studyblr (re)introduction

It's hard to believe, but I started this blog in high school and I just graduated college. Since then, a lot has changed so I thought it might be time for an updated introduction

✨ The Basics ✨

Name: Inky (not really, but my legal name is very uncommon)

Pronouns: she/her

Program of study: PhD in Sociology (I'll be starting in August!)

Academic interests: political extremism, online interaction, identity, sociological and psychological theories of identity and group processes

Non-academic interests: reading (these days mostly mysteries/thrillers, AsAm lit, occasionally fantasy), cooking, and painting

A little more about me :)

As far as academics go, I've mostly done qualitative research but am starting to learn STATA and how to scrape data from social media sources. In the future, I want to work in research and I'd love to teach but the academic job market sure is icky so we will see lmao

Outside of academics, I used to be a lot more creative than I am these days but I am slowly trying to change that. I took up painting this year and am trying to get back into creative writing. I come from a big city and currently live in a much smaller area so I also like finding new places to go/things to do in my area like local fairs and mom and pop antique shops to explore

You can also find me here, on the book/studygram my friends roped me into (and that I have come to enjoy making silly little videos for)

If you're new to my blog hi, hello :) it's nice to meet you. on this blog you will find your average study content with some anti-grind culture seasoning (we are not about working ourselves to death here, folks). outside of academic content, you may also find yourself subjected to my study break tag, political posts, and my occasional musings (under inky speaks)

Come fall, you'll start hearing about my adventures in grad school. I am also slowly learning to manage my chronic health problems on top to school/work and those experiences may make it into the mix too

I am always looking for new blogs to follow, especially if you're a fellow social science person or a gradblr so please don't hesitate to say hi!

Studyblr Intro Post

Hi fellow scholars! I’ve had this blog since 2018 but I figured it was finally time to make a studyblr introduction post. Check out below the cut to learn a bit about me.

About Me

I write under the name Esther (a name my boyfriend uses for me). I am in my mid-20s. I’m a nerd for mid-century and academic fashion. That means I try to fit most of my style into the dark and light academia aesthetics. But I also exercise a lot, so in real life, you’d tend to find me in t-shirts and jeans. I don’t subscribe to the philosophies behind personality tests, but my temperament is Melancholic-Choleric, if you’re into the four humors. 😉

I am physically and cognitively disabled from a head injury I had in high school. The injury affected just about everything in my life, but I continue to recover as the years go on. Some of my posts will focus specifically on disability and academia. Always stay open to what anger and stubbornness can accomplish!

Academics

I am currently in my first year of online studies at Franciscan University in Ohio, for a Master of Arts in Theology and Christian Ministry with a concentration in Catechetics. Biblical studies was not the field I expected to go into for most of college, but I am excited to see where it takes me. I’ll probably go into education at this point, but my dream is to go to a Ph.D. program for neuropsychology.

For undergraduate studies, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Humanities. I wrote a book with a small colloquy for my Humanities capstone, which was published and sold by my college bookstore. We discussed Charles Dickens’s novel A Tale of Two Cities and I wrote about theological themes and conversion in the novel.

I speak English (native), Spanish (working proficiency), and modern Hebrew (beginner). Spanish and Hebrew are always in progress. Apparently my accent is perfect for both. I studied some Koine Greek in middle school and want to study that, ancient Hebrew, and Latin in graduate school. Future modern languages I am interested in learning are French, German, and maybe Chinese.

Interests

Books: classic literature, great works, theology, existentialist writing

Hobbies: sewing, playing piano (classical, jazz, and some contemporary music), exercise, writing, spending time with my dogs, language learning, studying theology

Music: classical, jazz, indie pop (specifically Belle and Sebastian), orchestral goth, Gregorian chant

I enjoy meeting new friends, so drop me a chat if you’d like to connect!

How do you tackle a task that for ages you’ve been procrastinating and every time you look at it you’ve got no clue where to start or what to write?

Idk but what sometimes works for me (after much avoidance and dancing around said task) is breaking it down. Sentence by sentence. Bullet point by bullet point.

I’ll treat each like it’s the only one I have to do and pretend that if I flesh it out with one or two lines it’ll be enough. By the time I put it all together, I’ve come a long way. I just have to decide whether or not to keep going.

And there we have it.

Dissertation thoughts of the week:

I'm nearly finished with the rewrites and expansion of my lit review chapter, including rounding out the underground imaginaries section. I'm waiting on a few library requests, including David Farrier's Anthropocene Poetics, which I saw extensively quoted in one paper and introduced me to the useful and evocative phrase "deep futures."

I also ended up using the phrase "deep time" enough that I felt like it needed a footnote, which led to rereading some John McPhee, who apparently coined the phrase to begin with, in Basin and Range, when talking about our understanding of geologic time scales as first described by James Hutton.

I can't quite work it into the chapter - I've already gone a little too far down the literature rabbit hole in some ways that will have to be edited down - but the other outcome from this reading and rereading is that I once again have this Hutton quote about Earth rattling around my head:

No vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end

So... I graduated! I'm finished with my undergrad!!!

Proud of myself for getting through a rough semester, really my whole undergraduate experience was a whole strange experience in itself. It doesn't quite feel real yet that I'm done with undergrad, even going through the day of commencement didn't quite feel real. Like it was a blur. Not a bad one, just kind of blurred around the edges. I'm excited though for the future.

I don't have set plans on a job or anything yet but I've been more accepting of being in the present and in the moment and taking some time to get settled with me. I used to be a huge overthinker, constantly worried about my future but now that I'm here in this current present, somehow I feel like everything will workout. Not just for me but for everyone, life continues to go on and you'll be swept with it whether you feel it coming or not (and that's okay).

Maybe I'm just going on too much about my inner thoughts but I feel like I just wanted to get that out there! Some food for thought perhaps? Anyways, I hope you, stranger, are doing alright.

Eat well, sleep well, and hydrate! I'll be back!

𝐿𝒶𝒹𝓎 𝑀𝒾𝓃𝓊𝒾𝓉 ˊˎ˗

P.S. Hopefully, sometime in the future, this'll turn into a gradblr! For now, I'll be existing.

i have very fond memories of this drafty attic library. it's filled with books about fairy tales and peasant rituals and the roof creaks in the wind. i spent a lot of time there working on my ma thesis.
