18.4.2019 // “i’m not where i need to be, but thank god i’m not where i used to be”

soo it’s been a while since i posted anything original… sorry about that! i broke up for summer last week, but i ended up finishing school a little early because my brother got covid and we had to isolate. it’s been a bit of a stressful time and i’ve been kind of struggling with being productive, but i think i’m slowly getting myself together

very much obsessed with the desk set up I have in my dorm! the laptop stand has been an absolute lifesaver for my neck and I don’t have to hunch over and type all the time! also the led clock has to be one of my favourite impulse buys — no regrets 😤

i love old architecture and the university of toronto’s campus feeds my love. it’s absolutely gorgeous to study in the grass next to brick buildings such as these.

the thing about british weather is that it is so unpredictable. so it genuinely is hard to generalise. right now? it’s very hot and quite humid and the other thing about british weather when it’s hot is that generally there is no breeze so that’s always horrible cause the heat just kinda sits there and there is never any escape 

found an ancient relic in the library today

a few days ago i cycled home through the first thunderstorm of the year. it always feels like a special occasion to me: it's the starting shot of the summer that is approaching, slowly but surely wrapping up the academic year, and if not more free days, then at least the promise of spending more time outdoors with friends and family. until then, i'll be here at this desk, planning and teaching my lessons.

exams ended a few weeks ago and i haven’t done much since so i’ve been pretty inactive here :/ i got a ton of my tests back and my grades look pretty good so far which is great! i’m getting my report on friday, hope it goes well <33

Happy 2021! I hope this year will be kinder to us all. Getting back into uni work has been harder than I thought it would be. At least I got this pretty new radio to keep me company :)

A gorgeous view from Istanbul University library.

happy pre valentines day ! 🎀🌟
