Barely academia

So hi. I'm Lina and I'm going to be a Victorian Lit MA student starting this September. Join me for a time.

I still technically work in an academia-adjacent field!! So I might use this account as self-motivation and maybe to focus on my writing (or at least trying to write)???? TBD

Rings finally got me. Added this personal Filofax to the mix last month and it’s working as my daily task book.

Try your best.

18.04.2025 // 7/30: Continued my collective memory course and oh boy, it's drifting into psychology. Only did about two hours today but my brain is fried right now and desperatly needs rest so I'm looking forward to the weekend.

What are your tips or things you wish you knew before starting grad school? 📖

a good day consisted of books, coffee, and a stairwell full of plants.

night at my desk; freshly baked banana bread, camomile tea, my commonplace journal

It was only until I displayed these grachtenpand on my shelves that it finally clicked in my head that the Fitzcarraldo Editions essays remind me of delftware. Real aha moment lol. Looking at this part of my study gives me a lot of joy. I'll be in this room all afternoon and evening catching up with my traveler's notebook. Wishing you a happy Saturday ☕️

It's the simple things in life. I want to live.
