I took a photo of my favourite piece in the gallery: Trade,Gordon Shadrach
I went to the art gallery and grabbed some coffee with an old friend this afternoon. It was really nice to hang out with somebody in person for the first time in a long time. It was nice to catch up on the past 3 years as well as doing something so familiar. I’m hoping to enjoy going out more often now that the weather isn’t too cold.
I’m a bit stressed I didn’t get to work on any scholarship applications this week since all of my spare energy has been spent on finding a new job for the end of the month. I’ve planned my week ahead of time (for a change) and I’m hoping that lessens my stress a bit this week. Hopefully once I land a job I can focus more on preparing for the Autumn.
Happy May! I’ve been out of the regular school session for just under a month and admittedly, it’s been a little weird. As I’m in a 3-year program, I’m officially a third of the way through my undergrad degree (terrifying).
A few pictures from different days that look the same because I’ve been going on korean study sessions with some friends every saturday morning! It’s been amazing so far, productive and fun!
“At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.”
btw im reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas! it’s long overdue on my TBR list but i finally finished it yesterday and although the ending was abrupt i liked the development of the side characters much more than i expected
In the last week of February I had a very important job to do: babysit my feline nephews!
My sister was on a short trip with her boyfriend so I stayed in her apartment for a couple of days. Oh I loved being there, it was so peaceful, no traffic noise, no neighbors’ noise, no one controlling my day, nothing to distract me, just me with Charlie and [sometimes] Noah.
It was the decisive days for my thesis work. The deadline to send it to my thesis defense committee was the 28th. I had so much to do, I pulled all-nighters in a row and I didn’t think I’d be able to finish it early enough to share with my advisor, so I tried to do it as perfect as I could.
At 8 am on March 1st, my birthday, I finished writing my thesis. I sent it to my advisor [even tho I doubted he was going to read it on time] and tried to sleep a little, before I had to come back to my parents house. What happened with my thesis I already shared here: I sent it to the committee before my advisor could answer me, had a breakdown over it, anxiety crises, but the important thing is that everything worked out in the end.
i found the best cafe to study near my town, the place is so cute and comfy, the food is delicious and there’s a lot of healthy and veggie options, the ambiance is perfect to study, it’s not as quiet as the library but i like it, and the staff is so friendly <3
OH AND THEIR MUSIC TASTE IS SO GOOD
but because i love it so much i’m going to gatekeep it (i never do that but this time i’m going to do it because if i come with my friends i won’t be able to concentrate lol)
SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO STILL TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AFTER DEPRESSION HIT THEM HARD. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST AND MOTIVATION AGAIN BUT PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO STUFF ANYWAYS. YOU ARE FIGHTING A DAILY BATTLE WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND YOU’RE STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, YOU’RE ALL BRAVE AS FUCK
hi there! long time no post. it’s been over a month since i graduated and i’ve experienced many firsts. my first flight since the pandemic, my first visit to a museum since the pandemic, i got my heart broken for the first time, and i had to decline my first job offer. june has shown me that life is full of scary and unpredictable things. yet, i hope these experiences are just a learning curve for me. i’m just glad to be surrounded by things i love - art, books, museums, friends (even when they’re oceans away) - and i’m manifesting better things. there’s a lot to look forward to
Sent out books, plants and letters for friends today. My little plant nursery is now empty since I’ve just given all my cuttings away. I’m going to go around my house with a pair of scissors tomorrow to start a new batch. I suppose I could start calling them a class of cuttings… or a congregation of cuttings? A cluster of cuttings?
