I live by “the fact that i procrastinate and still get everything done is the reason i can’t stop procrastinating” (literally submitted my Bachelor’s thesis at the very last possible minute and needing extensions for every other assignment, which may or may not have to do with my ADHD though).

Currently fucking around for my Master’s in Cognitive Science. Don’t ask me when I’ll be finished (don’t be like my blood family).

I have mixed feelings regarding my Vietnamese blood family, to put it lightly.

Thalassophobia is a bitch, especially if all my people are sea creachures. I do enjoy swimming and the feeling of being submerged in cool water, so that’s an interesting conundrum I find myself in every summer.

Have been very into birds and the colour yellow in recent memory. For a delightful combination of the two, please consider Piu Piu (well, Piu Liu for me) aka Molang’s best friend:

GOALS

time of update: 16.05.2025

Get my Spanish up to A2. Keep up the practise until September and re-evaluate then (fingers crossed that I can somehow smoothly transition into picking up either Japanese or Latin again, though I’m not too hopeful there).

Come up with a choral arrangement for お船引の歌 (deadline: 02.06.2026) -> learn basics of how to do choral arrangements

Readings: finish NtN (and then re-read all three parts to stave off the effects of Alectopause); finish Hen Kai Pan; finish Decolonizing Bodies; catch up to the German re-release of Claymore; Banana Fish (and get the remaining 8 volumes) Houseki no Kuni; Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit; Das straighte Denken (two essays); re-read Hanako-kun (and buy more volumes); Witch Hat Atelier

Get a pass at my local library (mostly to read WHA).

Do yoga more regularly again. It was a daily practice for over a year but then the depression took me down and I’ve really gotten into bouldering since last summer.

Fill the garden for my focus friend Bibus.

Estimated date of next update: mid-June to mid-July 2026
