Taking a sick day today…

I got accepted for a research assistant scholarship today, and there was a rainbow! I can’t believe I’m moving out of my dorm tomorrow…

I finished my last day of classes for the school year today. I have three exams to do and I’m moving out of my dorm at the end of the week— I can’t wait to not have to listen to my roommates snoring during the day. I’m also getting back into journaling (in my A5 Moomin Journal) after being spotty about it for a while.

Went to this secondhand book store this weekend with my friends, I didn’t buy anything but I got to see an adorable cat. I only have a week left of actual classes before finals. Can’t wait to be free from my assigned reading shackles for a few months; I’m gonna finish the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Got some new colored pens today, trying to work out how to use them. If anyone has a good color-coding system please feel free to share.

Crashing out over my impending Spanish exam and shitty avocado toast. But at least I got a new Owala cup!

Today I got a note back on a grade that read, “Um… This is amazing!” and I’ll be riding that wave for a while.

I realized I’ve yet to post my 2026 Hobonichi. This is a very monochrome version of it.
