in grad school now

being a STEM major means i don't usually get to spend my time on something as fun as literary analysis, so in that sense this gothic lit class has been a blessing – but it's also stressful to be graded on something i've spent so little time practicing for the past few years.

anyway, i decided to move (special interest) into an a5 book, all by itself, since it was completely overtaking my standard character thoughts / media analysis a6 book. it's pretty weird to make the transition to a5, but it's working!

all paths lead to thalamus ( and wikipedia ).

i told the stars about you.

Inspired by all the art I love and post here, this is a piece I started working on in 2023 and only got around to finishing now.
