{ dum spiro, spero }

got my study space looking relatively tidy :) now to organise the rest of my room and life…. ;-;

13.05.21 / i was going through my old japanese files and found worksheets i made ages ago for counters and honorifics. i thought i would spruce it up and share with everyone. it has an answer key and the counters start from most common to more specialized ones. also, here’s a book i finished recently and a really cool vinyl purchase. i believe each copy is unique because it’s made out of recycled vinyl materials. so fitting that i got one that looks like a thunderstorm. enjoy your thursday ♡

Tried out a fountain pen for the first time and I’m really happy about it. Hopefully my handwriting gets better.

If this essay doesn’t kill me, nothing will. I’m currently grappling with the concept of connecting Du Bois’ concept of double consciousness with post-structuralism. I don’t know whether I’m being very clever or very stupid. (x)

Anyone else starting to get really burnt-out? I’m coming on a year of Zoom University and making time for everything is starting to get really tricky. Just trying to keep my eyes on the horizon and get ready for my med school interviews! How are y’all holding up??

08.01.21 / a refreshed workspace for the new year. i got a mini oil diffuser for my desk and i’m so excited to use it! what do you have planned for the weekend? i hope your week went well ♡
