not a poet, a poem being written

Studied, then got distracted.

Good morning, world ✨ I am feeling really awful today as I am sick, so I decided to slow down a little bit and let myself rest. Perfect time to share a picture of my usual study spot at home, I snapped a picture before going to work. By the way, I am finishing my masters degree now, so the only thing that’s holding me back is my thesis, which is absolutely horrifying. I can’t push myself to write any of it because my academic adviser is absolutely the worst. I can’t seem to get a grip of it and it’s sucking the soul out of me. If you have any pieces of advice who you managed to survive this hell, let me know, I will be the most grateful sick monkey here 🐒

i have to start my actual studying for my finals the day after tomorrow and i am not ready

final day of studying for midterms ft cute pizza place (with really nice hot chocolate); borrowed my friend’s midliners until mine arrive! finally ordered them and i’m so excited.

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?

P.S. Has it snowed where you live? (just curious)

You have the blood of a poet. You have that and always will. You show, in the middle of savage things, the gentleness of your heart , that is so full of pain and light

i cannot wait to get this beauty up on the wall above my desk so she can stare dreamily off at my books

Essay writing for my English class, def should not have left this until the last minute. Oh well, tea shall get me through ☕️
