It's been so long since I posted but things have been crazy - juggling work and university work is difficult. I bought myself a new laptop with my savings (and I justified this by saying I'm always using it). Currently doing some literature review words - 5000 words, let's go.

Mahmoud Darwish, from Unfortunately, It Was Paradise: Selected Poems; “The Hoopoe,”

That’s all for now! I’ve also posted the videos on my tumblr so you can watch straight from there! 🤍✨

i’m not entirely sure why elegant epistles: being a copious collection of familiar and amusing letters, selected for the improvement of young persons, and for general entertainment needed, in all its copious glory, to have 53 publishers but it does, indeed, list 53 publishers in its imprint and it turns out all 53 of them are a massive pain in the ass

Sunday!☁️ I woke up pretty early this morning at 6.50am. A quick breakfast and then I started my assignments. I wrote two history essays, a 2 pages essay about the media violence for media literacy and a 16 pages test for my elective English class.💼📑🏺

Lately I can’t stop reading, thinking, obsessing, about love. As a theoretical exercise: what is this thing which has no intention, no obvious purpose, no end towards which a process inevitably, predictably unfolds? A feeling which, like all aesthetic experience, is not general – it is particular to each instance, originating out of a singular sensational body, evoking a response which betrays pleasure and displeasure, desire, want, colour. What is the house that love built made of, made for? I don’t think I make sense about half of the time in my writing but I can’t stop circling back to this idea at the moment, maybe there’s something in it that I haven’t yet connected up in my mind

Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be a literature major.

I’m really interested in the biophysics of evolution, especially about the problems that arise because of the difference of speed between our social evolution and biological evolution.

My focus is on Elizabethan and Jacobean drama but I can’t talk about my actual research topic until after I’ve completed my PhD. It’s so frustrating because I really want to share my research topic but I have to stick to the rules!

being back at the library help desk was nice, but I really miss the pre-C atmosphere. simply handing out books is not the same. also I miss being there as a student, missing that 'I'm here to get stuff done"-vibe, but I got two texts done today for my term paper, so at least there's that
