🎧 mystery – indigo girls 🧊 blue slush alani (it's... fine?) 🕘 9am

It was simultaneously one of the hardest and most rewarding two years of my life. The next three years will be full of independent study, coffee, pondering, walks in the woods, and candle-lit writing sessions. I can't wait!

1806'26: coffee's good. and my sleep schedule is so messed up and i'm trying to convince myself that you can change and do better despite your past mistakes.

sooooooo…. I have not yet written the paper due at 9am tomorrow. Or today I guess, since it’s 1am. desperately doing source analysis so I have enough material to flesh out this paper. Hoping to god I can stay awake. Going to go make oatmeal to sustain myself now.

a friend told me that she's finally submitting her phd thesis next week and i actually gasped out loud. when i had first met her 2.5yrs ago, she had just come back from her fieldwork and was struggling to get back into writing. we will eventually get there.

Sometimes u just gotta do the work from the bed

color-coordinating my genbank file converter with my mango matcha latte... leaving my favorite café after graduation makes me almost as sad as saying goodbye to my friends and professors.

19.05.26 💐 officially done with half of my master's thesis! this week i'm taking a break from everything. things are moving very quickly right now, i will be done with my thesis sooner than expected, i've handed in my first job application and summer is coming. i'm still feeling fairly calm about it all but i really need this break to catch my breath! ♡♡♡

i'm continually surprised by how little my classes this term have in common. i guess that's the true liberal arts experience, but i still get whiplash switching back and forth between papers on TB antibiotics, gothic literature, and AC circuits.

slow mornings are my favorite ones 🌤📚🐦
