things I’ve done today: read, take notes, decorate my wall 🪐 reblog is ok, don’t repost/use

this week has been the craziest, but also that’s going to be the next week too. in other news though, i’m very excited about how this paper is turning out.

some notes, iced coffee and my thoughts

I oscillate between satisfaction and dissatisfaction with life at a rapid pace. It is not that I am unhappy, nor that I am particularlly happy, it is moreso an evaluation. At times I am satisfied with all that I've done in spite of the many things that have stood in my way, other times I remain dissatisfied with whatever achievements I've accumulated. I don't think there's a particular solution to the oscillation problem, perhaps I wouldn't want one. I think it's very easy for us all to get caught up in waves of satisfaction (with who we are, what we do, what we've done) and dissatisfaction (what we haven't done yet, what we ought to do, what we could've done) which is undoubtedly amplified by instantaneous communication and the development of the internet. In the end we should just ride the waves, enjoy satisfaction when it comes and when dissatisfaction looms remind ourselves that whatever lies ahead, or parallel, doesn't diminsh what is already done.

[07.24.23] Currently doing a midyear check in of my reading goals. I've been on a slump since last year and have only read 4 books this 2023. My goal is to finish 15 books (including rereads) this year and so I'm planning which books I want to read for the next 5 months and some other specific game plan for each book. ☁️

📚started reading ‘La force des charges’ par Simone de Beauvoir

golden hour + thesis writing! unfortunately i haven’t made as much progress as i’d hoped yet, had a rough couple of weeks but i feel like i’m getting back into it now. still very much motivated and still really enjoying it! all in all feeling stressful yet optimistic

📚reading

05.02.2022 // finally found the motivation to do something for my bachelors thesis. i read the first paper (though it wasn't the first attempt, tbh, i just didn't understand anything before that). and i wrote some descriptions of experiments. now i'm looking back into spectroscopy because i have no idea what i'm actually doing in the lab (what's new about that?).

trying to finish my dissertation in 3 weeks, hopefully i can finish the introduction today 🥀 listening to my lastest ambient mix while i write
