recently moved to a new place. finally feeling safe and inspired again

happy new year everyone 🫂

2021 - 2024

maybe next time I'll try to smile and look a lil' more friendly (i don't usually look this stuck-up; i'm literally always sending my friends silly pics of myself making faces)

life update: i'm officially no longer a student! i submitted my dissertation at the end of summer and defended it in september—everything went really well. i now have a master's degree in translation! i've left the big city for now and moved back in with my mom while i set up my freelance business and apply for the rare in-house translator jobs out there (i have a second interview on wednesday, fingers crossed). i'll likely be changing my username, as this blog will be shifting from study content (unless i start learning a new language soon). i'll still be posting bookish things and photos in general since i'm trying to take this hobby more seriously

an afternoon in La Rochelle 📚 🌊🪼couldn't resist and bought an old copy of Twenty Years After. my Alexandre Dumas shrine is growing.

a few summer reads 🧳🌞🗾

finally reading the count of monte cristo.. will i love it more than the three musketeers and twenty years after?

finding solace in solitude (and books)
