☹︎☺︎ honestly things have been pretty hard recently, hence the lack of posts. really trying to get out of this rut but i'm just so tired most of the time

this week has been very busy with recruitment for next years cohort, just trying to get through to the weekend so i can reset and focus on quals

✂︎ i've been collaging/junk journaling a bit recently and its been really fun, maybe ill post some pictures eventually

i’m nearing the end of my phd, though not in the way i imagined. things around me have shifted — suddenly, drastically — and i’m still finding the ground beneath it all. this space is a record of that transition: the quiet chaos of closing one chapter while the next one begins before i’m ready.

Day 2/n

Some morning screen-free time today before we begin. It's raining outside so weather is pleasant too.

I'm trying to start and stick to a routine (getting back to diligent work is so hard). And the aim is small, only an hour of deep work. Then we will see where we go from there.
