🎧 - house of memories by panic! at the disco

So incredibly sad today, I cried this morning and my mom told me a story abt when I was like 2 or 3 years old and whenever I cried I would go around announcing ‘I’m cwying’ in the middle of the crying to make sure everyone knew lmao. At school I didn’t feel so healthy but held out enough to complete all my classes. In good news my dad brought another plant for my room you can see it hanging in the second pic 🌱

sunny mornings <333

here is the full extent of my new desk set up 🥹 it’s so spacious and works like a dream when i have all my notes and books out :’) i have been working on my desk all day and night this past week, and being able to sit and stand whenever i like has been ~life-changing~ to say the least 😭✨ possibly the best addition to my wfh setup ever 🤍 thank you @theomnideskau 🫶🏼 swipe for details! 💫 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjp1o5GvGGW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

a bunch of stickers came in the mail today, so i went ham with my planner! i got so many cat stickers and am very excited to use them!

📝 As for languages im trying to learn - my native language is English/Bangla (diaspora amirite) and languages I am learning: Korean, Spanish, Arabic

Also, was so sad when I heard the news about Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) passing away. My sister gave me these sweet Harry Potter bookmarks and I happened to be using the cute little Hagrid one.

Inside I think I am the best I have ever been honestly, in terms of mindset and spirituality and just the way I navigate the world. Externally though nothing is really set and everything is temporary, my job, my health, everything future related tbh. You could say I’m at a turning point in my life! But like I am still turning? Very slowly? Lmaoo 😅

Day Three - I’m particularly drawn to philosophical books that involve flawed characters and the psychology behind their flaws. Basically, I fancy messy chaotic villain stories lol. That all being said, I’ve recently read a lot of historical fiction and modern/contemporary Japanese fiction📚

All job applications have been submitted and things are not quite as busy and overwhelming, although still lots to do. But busy in a good way, getting lots of uni work done, many many dance classes, brunch with my sister, and appreciating autumn on my morning walk to campus. I also had time to bake today - made the most delicious brownies 😁 (I also created a new Instagram account and may end up posting stuff like this over there - but will wait and see if it sticks…)

After revising Korean War for the 2nd time, I realised i retained the historical significance and dates more easily, ig it’s true that reviewing content regularly resets the Lorenz curve of forgetting

Look at my beautiful new plant I bought the other day (mines the fern, my best friend bought the snake plant), and look at how long it’s taken me to write some notes about diabetes. I used these tonight because in true Maria style, I’ve decided to completely restart my presentation two days before it is due (last module it was the night before, so this is progress!) I’ve changed it to a simpler diabetes topic that I can do much better than the complex thyroid one I originally did and right now I’m tired, but glad I stayed up to change it. Bedtime now!

Day 2: Share your goals for this challenge. What do you want to accomplish by the end of it? As I said just before, I want to finish a challenge, and especialy one by my darling bibi because this is the second one of hers that I've tried and I'm not good at finishing them

Today I am grateful for: golden fall morning sunshine!! 🍁
