31.01.2026 [Thesis Countdown: 31 Days]

• Bruuuuhhhhhhhh. I didn’t do anything yesterday and I almost didn’t do anything today. But I managed to pull through.

• I decided to leave the intro and theory alone and move on to the materials and blah blah section. It was much easier compared to the previous ones but still a bit odndieodbsknshen. I’m having trouble sounding professional idk.

• I started my poppy war reread and I’m having such a great time cause I forgot so much. I borrowed two books from the library that I’m super excited for.

• I’ve sent out about 18 apartment messages and I’ve only gotten two responses. Yay.

Day 23/100

- Studied for 3 hours

Usually I only meal prep dinner on the weekends, but today I decided to meal prep lunch and dinner for this week, so hopefully I won't have to cook till next Saturday :')

In terms of study :

20 psych passmed questions

Psych anki flashcards

Fine, I must start from some point. Let's just say that I no longer know what a sleep schedule is, I am reading Ancient Greek like if I was Homer, in that cave, in Smirne, and I'm currently wondering how to make some good chemistry notes, everything surrounded in fading italian literature. Cool, isn't it? Freezing...

However! The quadrimester is almost over. Tomorrow, 2 hours, Ancient Greek oral test. Chemistry class, and if there will be any questions I must be the one to raise the hand. Also, History class. I remember nearly nothing 😭 but today I'll lock in and revise the whole syllabus. The procrastination has ended. I'll even anticipate those math exercises, due on Thursday. Why? Because yes. Because this week is kill or die, and I honestly would prefer to stay alive. No distractions, so no Bach or Mozart, I guess. Just some lofi? Or... do you have any suggestion, about classical music that's not distracting for a classical musician who must lock in? Do you have any suggestion about how to stay alive and doing all this? Oh, wish me luck. I must start now : )

Updating this evening, I guess

Day 16/30

I've written the introduction today and added the last citations for the main body of my thesis :) I'm sure I'll finish this week and then I'll have one week left until I have to hand it in and I hope I can relax a bit then. (Realistically I should start studying for the upcoming exams in march, but shhhhh)
