i submitted my final PhD application monday night. there's still a long road ahead and i'm already having stress dreams about interview invites, but at least i'm done with the part where i write 17 slightly different versions of my statement of purpose.

i haven’t been keeping up with this blog very much lately, but this summer has seen me spending many hours preparing for the lsat. my test date is on saturday, and once that’s done, i’ll be working on applications for the upcoming cycle.

Didn't have any lectures today so I spent most of the morning in my room doing readings for an essay I have due on Friday. This is my first assessed essay of the year, and I'm still getting used to academic referencing and how to find sources. After lunch I had a stroll into town and picked up some fruit and bread as well as a few essentials. I spent the rest of the day in the library, attempting to plan my essay. It's really feeling like the end of autumn here - all the trees are bare, and every day is dark and rainy. At least it makes for some cosy study sessions!

hiiiiii im doing morphology again today and some psych. hopefully. sapphic night tonight which means i might get distracted but we'll see
