August vibes. I think this pic looks like a book cover.

Interiors (Parkwood Estate, Oshawa)

spring is here! crooked paintings celebrate!

This is the sexiest shelf and therefore the only one that matters

I’ve got a week off from school and exams starting in three weeks time. Time to start revising and studying everything.

a bunch of scribbles 

!!!and the new mug I bought myself!!! I love it so much, it says “love is love is love is love” around the rim :))))

ig: herdrafts I usually study languages in the mornings at the weekend, I have more time to focus on learning and I also have more alone-time which I often do crave. My routine is almost the same; after making coffee and had breakfast I open my textbook and I start writing down the new lesson. This time I decided that I had to study Japanese, also I wanted to watch some subtitled anime episodes for listening practice. Don’t you think that Japanese sounds really cute?

sneak peek of my texan desk 👀 my second week of school as an exchange student starts tomorrow! my first week was great—my professors and classmates are really friendly and welcoming. now to get started on all these exercises and projects…

Currently reading The beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Going into it, from the title, I thought the beautiful and the damned would be two separate camps; one or the other. But the more I read, the more the story is fleshed out, the beautiful and the damned seem to be one and the same.

"How do we forgive ourselves for all of the things we did not become"

seems like just yesterday when i said goodbye to may, and yet here i am again, welcoming in july. very grateful for the time/capability to properly reflect & remember the months that pass 🌼

i def. associate warm colors like yellow, orange, and pink. i also think of soft greens and blues… kind of like my study set up this afternoon!
