Study and Stay Hydrated

Take A Chance On Me by ABBA 🎧

my new desk set-up has got me feeling very productive. 

What are days for? Days are where we live— where can we live but days?

how is everyone? i've been preparing for university, a job interview i have in a few weeks, and reading some good books :-)

new desk tour!! its not going to stay this tidy for long, and definitely not so sunny, but for now i’m pretty happy with it :)

So far being the co-editor of the university journal has just meant anonymising papers and organising the contributors, board of editors and peer reviewers. Now I am reading the contributors’ penultimate drafts myself and really enjoying being more involved in the process; thinking a lot about what we are going to write in the co-editors’ introduction.

Listening to: Star Blossom - Doyoung and Sejeong

The weekend. Same as any other day now really, with less work. With all the time in the flat I’m trying to do the things I’ve wanted to do but been putting off: I’m propagating tomatoes and herbs, sorting through these old copies of LRB and other magazines and papers, I’m going to complete that half-finished human rights law short course, tidy my kitchen cupboards and make pasta with the 00 flour that is still sat in a jar. All good time-filling things. But it’s also enough to just sit in the sun for an hour with a beer and a book, isn’t it

01.04.20 / It’s the beginning of a new month. I’m using this day to rearrange my study. It’s long overdue for a clean up anyway. Plus, organization and a revamped study space is always a motivational boost! 

Finally got to see this beauty in person. Kind of bitter I couldn’t just reach out and open some of the books. The binding is so beautiful.
