Capturing Elusive Time

my daydreams lie buried in autumn leaves

I went to the prettiest café today 💞💞!

it’s absolutely gorgeous outside - blue skies! sunshine! not a cloud to be seen! - but my desk is its own perfect brand of moody and marvelous while the sun shines on the opposite side of our little house

Winter is usually one of the least busiest season in terms of work and studying 

back to the usual

thursday, 12:31 pm have my last and most important exam on russian literature tomorrow and I’m scared to death to be honest. suffering from “hermione granger syndrome” and working my ass off just to get an excellent mark and approval has been very hard for me throughout the 16 years of studying. well, at least I’m aware of the problem :)

For a few minutes each evening, the sun reflects from our neighbors' window at just the right angle

For my second day I mostly took it pretty easy, i still had a pretty bad headache so I decided to study on my bed. I learned another Italian lesson. I decultered my phone and organized my files on my iPad as well. Practiced my driving, since my drive test is coming pretty soon. I got a 6 month extension on my repayment for my student loan, so that ease so much stress off my shoulder when I received the approval. Towards the end of the night I was feeling pretty low, and I got a random zoom call from an old friend of mine. it felt really therapeutic to talk out my frustrations with her since I usually just bottle it up in my head. Remembering that self care is still a form of productivity. the was the night ended felt really serendipitous and it brought up my mood after we ended the call.

I’m mainly using this to function like a whole master post for myself (hence why theres a lot about how the South Asian community contribute to racism towards the black minorities). I encourage you to make for yourself a whole page dedicated to your findings.

Got sick this week so I have twice as much homework as normal... most is latin though so it's fine. Most of my bloodstream is earl grey and that's also fine? We're vibin.
