final little push. I’ll be doing some work on my essay until probably 23rd, but interspersed with watching christmas films and going on dog walks, so fairly lowkey. fortunately the essay is super interesting + I’m so happy that this course has opened up so many different schools of thought and ways of reading in just one term! also extremely pleased with this table in my bedroom, now that my desk is gathering dust in my house for a couple of weeks. when I hurried back a couple of days ago, I did make it a priority to bring my laptop stand in my suitcase (people often ask - it’s this guy, and I couldn’t recommend it more! https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/braeda-laptop-support-bamboo-veneer-30384822/)
hope everyone is safe, well + starting to wind down for the holidays. it’s been rough, and weird, recently and, really, all year, and the news is getting difficult to listen to again, but we’ve all pulled through and a bit of indulgence is certainly in order now!
Today didn’t start off great - I was really tired after a bad night’s sleep - but it got better as the day went on. Booked my flights to see a friend abroad, went on a short walk, did a meditation session and had a mini nap, then I was right back at it, and ended up having a really productive end of afternoon / evening! So a reminder that you can restart your day at any point (also watch the Netflix meditation series by headspace).
Still studying for orgo my test is on Tuesday. I’m feeling pretty good about it & and any negative feelings I do have IM THROWING THEM OUT THE DOOR. I don’t need that affecting me. Also, if you haven’t already follow my Instagram !!! @studygil I literally have no followers so I don’t post much. Hope everyone is doing well physically and mentally and if not take some time for yourself!
The semester has been so busy! Sorry I’m so slow with posts! I got into the Advanced Honors College this week, and started making my schedule for next semester so there’s a light at the end of the tunnel at least.
Some of my favorite fashion history notes this semester :)
Sorry for being so inactive! I got elected to residence hall council this semester and joined the debate team so that’s all eating my time up. A lot of my class work is writing this semester so I’m really enjoying it.
