I had a lovely time with my friend D this weekend:
we went to a light & sound installation that was really impressive & fun,
had mala tang (I think I technically had mala ban?) for dinner,
tiny mock mojitos on my balcony before bed
and a delicious breakfast in my favourite café.
I'm now reading to bridge the gap between saying goodbye to D and meeting two friends for our museum sunday outing (museum sunday is a Thing in berlin and I love it).
we're going to see an exhibition on menstruation that's supposedly created with an intersectional feminist approach (which also means it uses trans inclusive language, very curious about that!)
I'm the kind of a person who adores walking in the rain and the scent of wet earth loves coffee, stays up late at night, doesn't meddle in others' affairs, laughs at the notion of love despite believing in it, and a friend of all and yet feels lonely, prefers to be absent but present rather than present but absent, doesn't know how to hate someone but good in the departure
preparing for the presentation I have to make next week!! the closer the time comes for me to speak in front of people the more I want to puke
Some pictures from recent studies and working from home. Now I'm done with taking classes for the rest of my phd, but that means it's officially time to start studying for my qualifying exam. My goal was to finish the first draft of my proposal by the end of this month but it's been so hard to make myself work on it for some reason. We'll see what happens.
Exam season is officially over for me!
I started studying during the year, trying to stay afloat (towards the end it was a bit too much too soon for me), and when exam season started i tried to be kind to myself.
I never gave up reading fantasy books, watching sports, going out with friends; if i got home late at night, tired after a day of studying out, i just went to bed, even though i could've forced some more studying.
It felt like i could've pushed more, spent more time going over the courses, but it was enough - i prioritized myself, avoided burnout, made studying more enjoyable and it all paid off.
This is me temporarily signing off
- a student who passed all of her exams with flying colors
You can do this too.

i was trying to stay optimistic yesterday about having to study for the bar but let's just say the optimism comes in waves and i'm much less optimistic today lol..... what's helping me get through it? cute stationery !!!
push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.
I will succeed. Not immediately. But definitely.

Got a new book today!
It's for a course i highly dislike, but the excitement of having a new book motivates me enough to study. It was a cold day outside, and I got to snuggle with a cat on our porch. Exams are closing in on me, but I have yet to panick about it :)
5/100 days of productivity

My life these days.

back at the library to continue on with my paper,, my dad gave me his headphones that he barely uses (they're like 6 years old). I just had to buy new ear coverings and they look almost new! I think I might put some stickers on it to make it look less gray 🤔

I chose to waste time in a way I like, and everything aesthetic fills my soul
