You are brilliant. You are capable. You are doing great. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve already come far enough. Just keep going. 🦋

the first part of my undergrad thesis is due next tuesday. it’s pretty wonderful to see months of work coming together in a single document, but i’ve been going insane trying to get it all done. so, as a treat, i’ve rearranged my desk area to face the window so i can continue to go insane, but with a view 🌆

our lab has the sweetest phd students and one of them said i coul work at her desk this week. productivity and motivation went up by 300% honestly

Pro of Norwegian winter: SNOW!! Con of Norwegian winter (this one in specific, it wasn’t that bad last year): lots of ice on the sidewalks once the snow starts melting

I used to read a lot on my free time. I have lots of books which I don’t have time to read. now I spend all my time going through pathology textbooks. my goal in life lately is to have time. to have time to take long walks and to read books that I love the most. maybe in 10 years.

17/9/21 | I'm in this limbo where I'm just waiting for the semester to start so that I can get on with my masters degree. I'm so bored I'm already planning possible diss topics

24.06.2021 // reading some essays and doing a little self-study this afternoon! i spent the morning reading my old journals from 2019 and wow 16 year old me was so dramatic

I’ve had only one class during the months of July and August, and despite it being a condensed course it’s given me a much-needed chance to recharge. I’m doing final reviews before my final exam on the 20th, and then I have a complete break until September 8th when classes start back up in full swing. I definitely feel more prepared to take everything on now that I’ve had some time to breathe. It’s been great having the time to dedicate to hobbies like my bujo and baking!

soo much has changed in the past month! i've srarted writing in latex, i made a presentation about my progress, so many plots... i'm not as far along in my modern textbook as i'd like and i'm Still working through my abroad application, but progress is progress. i also downloaded forest and obsidian to help keep my brain straight, both are working really well i think :)

August monthly setup 🪞🪄

Week 23 & 24 // IG

An iced matcha latte and my class revision notes. Seasons and Holidays vocab.

to absolutely nobody’s surprise, i’ve procrastinated too much and now i have to work my ass off at an ungodly pace to get my undergrad thesis done in roughly three weeks time. wish me luck

so because i read a lot, i have a lot of books that i tend to reread every summer and so associate them with summer. (i don’t have any ‘beach’ reads cause i don’t go to the beach lol). some of the books i reread tend to be the harry potter series (cause i read them for the first time during summer) and various romance novels, none of which are particularly well known but just are comforting to read and make me smile 

Today is the day for a digital declutter! Instead of doing all of the things, decide what one area would make the biggest difference. Is it a better filing system? More storage space? Turning off notifications that stress you out or distract you? Pick one thing to simplify today.
