i'm finally back on a macbook again 🥹 i managed to replace the screen today and not a moment too soon, the warranty on my windows laptop just expired and it was starting to act funky again. i'm hoping this gives me the kick i need to get this math class done and move on with my semester

5.24- Saturday

Took a small break from school for the past three days and jumped back in this morning with some readings on argument credibility and fallacies. I’m really enjoying this critical thinking class. It’s a very nice break from discrete math.

Reading: financial feminist by Tori Dunlap

*whispers* (I’m whispering because it’s very important that we keep this very low key)

hey, you know that ancient grimoire you’ve been searching for but can’t get shipped to your country, is probably on Anna’s Archives. Yeah… you could download it for free… pretty much any text you can think of regardless of how old it is, it’s probably on there… give it a little searchy search and you’ll probably find the entire book for free… just saying.

Having a hard copy is always nice. But when I’m trying to figure out if a grimoire is worth dumping money on… it’s always nice to have a little free trial,…

just saying ….

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.

13.05.25 —Working on a presentation rn that needs to be done by 8 this evening and it reminds me of what I don’t like about university. First, I have to do it alone, despite the fact that the prof said it would be groups of two to three. Just no one else was interested in the topic I volunteered for so now I'm the only one working alone while everyone else in the seminar will work with two partners. Prof could have done something about this but I guess they didn’t care. I also have to present it all alone later, which is never something I look forward to, but it becomes a whole lot worse when I have to do it all alone. Nice.

I have to read six whole papers in the span of a weekend when everyone else has to read just two. And I have to figure out an outline for the presentation completely by myself and then judge which aspects to allocate what amount of time to. Something I could use critical feedback on. And half assing it feels so bad when I'm the only one who worked on the presentation. Life could really be better at the moment.

Don't study because you need to. Study because knowledge is power.

Study because they can never take it away from you. Study because you want to know more. Study because it enhances you.

Study because it grows you.

It’s very hoa-hoa today and I’m enjoying it. I’m hoping it’ll motivate me to do some studying tonight. I only have 15 more days left to finish my statistics class and I’m struggling hardcore. Math is not a strong subject for me at all. Send me some good vibes
