22.3.22

The morning so far. After yesterday’s post I decided to switch things up. Got up at 7 and went downstairs to listen to some gospel, sing, pray, read my bible and journal about what I read. It felt good. Mr H says I’m hyper but I haven’t even had my coffee yet lol. It just feels good to not feel so heavy :)

1.2.22

Finally graduating tomorrow after a year and a half of finishing my degree.

(Clearing out drafts - 21/3/22)

Semester ended / The work starts

Back here! I had to give myself a couple of days to structure work and goals and stuff after getting back to Prague from the conference. I managed to list all the stuff I have to do in the upcoming four months (aka the “summer break”) and I’m looking forward to it!

If everything goes well, I should go to Lisbon Summer School in late June and probably one more research trip to Germany during July/August. So I really need to structure life to be able to get everything done and also go somewhere for a vacation. My partner just bought a mini cooper and it looks like a road trip vacation so far!

I really really want to be more active here, I’ve been struggling lately quite a lot and I’m getting more stable now, so it should go well. The semester is over, I have just one more paper to write for the seminars.

Letsgooooo!

Utrecht Conference // day two

The day was filled with inspiring papers and great people! Initially, I wanted to socialize on both evenings of the conference, but I don’t have the mental capacity for that. I think I’ll just do dinner with some of the attendees and hit the hay as soon as I can. I’m so tired, but happy.

Utrecht Conference // day one

*waves from the Netherlands*

I spent the day just walking around and prepping my conference paper for tomorrow. I feel like a giant stone dropped from my chest, I really needed this break and to see fellow PhD peers from other countries.

Also: I have a fancy hotel with a swimming pool. It’s amazing! I’m trying to rest here as much as I can.

Cheers!

Okay, it just took me 10 hours to prepare a lecture on illocutionary silencing.

Hopefully, I won’t completely fuck up tomorrow.

I’m so excited to teach this!

IT WENT SOOOOOOO WELL!

the students even praised me to my supervisor who’s teaching the course. And he also directly told me that I did an amazing job.

I’m in tears

Good things

How’s it going, babe?

Hey there, sorry for not being active once again.

I’ve been struggling with mental health and also with the funding for my compulsory internships, dealing with absent supervisor. Things got tough for a bit and I ended up with a flu. But I want to come back in full strength, so here’s the overview of what’s up:

I’m going to grad conference in Utrecht!

In less then a month, I’ll be talking (blabbering) about philosophy of language in a beautiful Utrecht. I got the funding (after some struggles) and I booked the flight and accommodation. It’s set!

I’m presenting at one other grad conference!

It’s online, so no travels, but this means that I’m gonna have my PhD duties regarding conference done. Like for both of the programs. Forever. I’ll still go to conferences, but it won’t be a duty anymore.

My consultant is finally my official supervisor!

I got rid of the guy who doesn’t give a fuck and I’m once again fully supervised by my lovely diploma thesis supervisor.

Seminars are almost over!

God, I can’t wait, there’s only three or four left (thanks to Utrecht, I don’t have to attend one other, hahaha)

I’ll keep you posted about upcoming things, hopefully posting almost daily!

27/3/2022 // hard week

I was really struggling with the toxicity of academic environment this week, but I’m somewhat better now. I’m planning to finish reading a book today and brainstorm ideas for one conference paper. I hope it’ll all go smoothly.

23/3/2022 // break

I went to see my nephew for the first time and I got some rest in the middle of the week. It was superb.

Hope you enjoy the crocs aesthetics. Loving the countryside.

17/3/2022 // catching up

Which coffee houses do I like the most? The ones, where I can sit on a window sill, like an idiot, and read stuff.

It’s good, I’m working, but also resting enough.

Morning!

I’m mostly reading today and I’ve established an evening flashcard routine. Otherwise, I want to go for a run and clean my apartment a bit.

Also, really trying to be more active here!

13/3/2022 // my own personal Waterloo

I really have to work (more specifically read more). Currently very deep I’m the procrastination spiral and trying to dig myself out.
