21.01.24 || New year, same old me with the pics from my study abroad two years ago. Where does the time go?

Term started late this year due to covid, but classes finally started last week. I’m taking three language courses and am in absolute heaven right now. I feel like I finally have the time to focus on the smallest details of Greek and Latin and can nerd out over grammar constructions with my professors. Maybe teaching a language is my true calling, since I’m at my happiest in a language class.

third day of the semester

Catroux, Westmere

Drinks pictured: Iced americano ($5) and flat white ($4.5).

I have been to Catroux once before, a year and a half ago, and I really loved their coffee! Went back again recently, and enjoyed an iced americano. They serve Allpress Coffee now. This is a medium sized cafe, with indoor and outdoor seats, and they do catering and bake cakes too.

relocating to america means all these white people writing think pieces about how hashtag woke it is that this brown woman, from an oppressed minority, is the lead in her own tv show. she’s constantly asked about representation and taking up space in the industry as a brown woman. but that’s all meaningless coming from her - she’s never lived as an oppressed minority in america or anywhere, but it’s allowed her to co opt a #movement of #wokeness that the west loves. it means that her rampant blatant and dangerous islamophobia and imperialism is allowed to go unchecked because there’s no understanding at all of where she comes from and what she stands for in India.

Dec 19 | a significant part of me working is just finding a spot of sun to sit in. the other part of me working is writing things down somewhere and promptly forgetting where they are

Hey loves! It’s been a while but I hope all has been well! Tbh, I haven’t really felt the need to be active on social media these days and have just been focusing on my gap year goals. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I really feel like time has went by incredibly fast and it’s so crazy. For quick life updates, I watched lots of movies with my family during their winter break including X-Men: Apocalypse (I missed X-Men so much), Wonder Woman 1984, Jumanji: The Next Level (which was so hilarious), and Ready Player One (such an interesting movie omg, I highly recommend). Also, I moved my room around and decluttered and now it feels like a new room! It’s much more spacious and I’m so content with it. 

I also got myself an iPad for university to try going paperless and I’ve been experimenting around with Goodnotes 5 which is super fun! I’m so grateful to the studyblr community for introducing me to the idea of digital notes; I’ve been so accustomed to writing on paper that it just didn’t cross my mind. It’s one of the many things I’m thankful for in being part of this community. I’ve also bought lots of new books and I’m excited to read them! With all that being said, here’s some excerpts from my philosophy book and some letters I wrote to myself!! I hope y’all have a wonderful Friday!! 🤍✨
