Day off. My closest cousin invited me to a Easter dinner at her house, since she was away during this spring break. We had a traditional southern Italian dinner, the main meals were il Tortano napoletano, la Pizza chiena and a chocolate cheesecake. I reviewed my lecture notes in the morning, then I spent the afternoon getting ready for the night dinner. I had less time to study, but luckily I made progress with my current reading.

Productivity:

reviewed my biology notes

Selfcare:

read 3 chapters of my current reading: Carol by Patricia Highsmith

let myself enjoy other activities besides studying

Step by step.

Today was a sort of trial day. I didn’t do everything planned for the day, but I managed to stay focused much more than previous days. Although it brings up my insecurities, knowing that a routine needs to be built slowly reassures me. Besides the academic side, I’m very proud of having managed to pick up a book after quite some time (I’ve had reader’s block for a while). I downloaded Goodreads for the first time and has been a great help. Carol (The Price of Salt) by Patricia Highsmith was my ultimate choice, I read the first two chapters in about an hour 🫶🏼 I’m really enjoying it, and to be honest, while I was doing other stuff (studying or helping my mom) I was dying to continue reading it. Maybe before I go to bed I’ll try to read another one. Patricia’s way of writing is so pleasant. Then I had pizza for dinner as you can see <3
