[04.03.20] ✧ 92 days of productivity

ft. me at the top of Storke Tower!!!

I hope everyone is KILLING their quarter or semester! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA for nearly a month -- let’s just say it’s been the most hectic few weeks known to man.

In these past few weeks I have finished my thesis (at a grand total of 71 pages and more to go!), I have gotten accepted to TWO GRADUATE PROGRAMS, and I am planning on moving back to Colorado on 13 March. Which means I absolutely need to finish the rest of my undergraduate education with a completed 100 days of productivity!! Even though I haven’t counted the last month into my total, I really want to dedicate these last two weeks to completing that milestone, as well as the milestone of getting my BA degree from UCSB!!*~

The two graduate programs I’ve gotten accepted to?:

- University of Edinburgh College of Art - MSc Modern and Contemporary Art: History, Curating & Criticism

- Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Baltimore - MFA Curatorial Practice

I literally am beside myself -- I have worked so hard for this opportunity and I’m finally realizing all of it. It is also extremely surreal considering it is my last two weeks at UCSB, and I am trying to complete everything on my UCSB bucket list! Of course, going to the top of storke tower was the ultimate. <3

What’s left now?

To-dos: ✧ Thesis editing + add additional photographs ✧ ANTH 130 presentation notes, slides, and paper ✧ ARTHI 5B presentation tomorrow! Background research, time it out, have a script ✧ GreenTongues conference and coding ✧ Contact Eco Vista creatives team to look at creating platforms for stickers, logo, t-shirts, and other related merch (which you could feature on your portfolio!)

ft. my desk and notes -- I’m shocked I’m sharing them because sometimes I get insecure about my handwriting--

Hi everyone!! I’m really stressed out about my thesis!! I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing!!

Anyway, here are my updated graduate programs!!:

✧ IHEID MA in Anthropology and Sociology ✧ Utrecht University MA in Arts and Society ✧ University of Edinburgh ECA MScR Cultural Studies --> PhD/MPhil Art ✧ Erasmus University Rotterdam MA Art, Culture and Society ✧ University of Groningen MA Literary and Cultural Studies

I got in touch with a lot of people in the admissions departments and they were super helpful! Next step: faculty and students! 

I also spoke with my mom today really worried about telling her what programs I was applying to, but she was super super supportive and I was shocked. She said “we’ll support you no matter what and we told you that from the beginning” and that really fixed my day.

I applied for a bunch of jobs today because I got so stressed about money I couldn’t even function. I feel better now.

Tomorrow’s to-dos: ✧ email faculty and students in grad programs (in the morning because of the time difference) ✧ finish annotated bibliography and literature review (this actually has been killing me lately) ✧ Outline thesis and begin writing introduction ✧ Outline WRIT109HU paper and add to prospectus ✧ Get in touch with faculty within the Art History/Arts programs at UCSB

Tracker: ✧ Mood: 50% content, 50% anxious ✧ Energy: 80% ✧ Sleep: 8.5h ✧ Listening to: (new release) sad songs in the summer by olivia o’brien ✧ Water: 5 glasses ✧ Medicine: taken but I’m hungry all the time now ✧ Skincare: consistent so why am I still bumpy ?? ✧ What made me happy today: reflecting on these new therapy sessions I’m going to on wednesdays and utilizing some of those activities outside of session and really feeling so good and zen-- I don’t know how to describe the feeling but it’s like after a massage and getting up and walking and suddenly you’re like, that’s how I felt before? ✧ What made me proud today: applying for things and realizing that when I’m productive I’m really really productive
