I'm officially done with my thesis project (not The Thesis, just the project, BUT EVEN SO) 🎉🎉
No, it's not except the abstract except th- no. It's done. Done and ready to send and... that's it. I don't need to do anything thesis-related for the following month or so. I admit that it didn't sink in yet, and I'm still in fight or flight thinking that there's still shit left to do, even though there isn't.
you take the man out of the city not the city out the man or smt right
GETTING BACK ON TRACK — No burnout challenge [Day 25/30]
HELLO I am so locked out. @nanthegirl is now an evil hag but it's fine because we can be evil hags together
Anyways I'm gonna be pulling a @winryrockbellwannabe and rebloggging this post with updates every now and then coz I need to be held accountable some way omg I have too much to study and too little time
I'll try taking breaks but it looks like an all nighter situation (ofc if things get too hard I will rest because that is the point of this challenge)
I'm at 18/73 (yes I skipped a concept bc i couldn't be bothered). I'm annoyed that I'm not able to focus and I'm getting very little done. I'll keep trying

GETTING BACK ON TRACK — No burnout challenge [Day 24/30]
Today was my first final exam, and it went well!! I was sick for two days so i could only study a little, but I got lucky because most of what I studied were asked in the exam hehe. @nanthegirl really watched over me from my walls and gave me the strength i needed 💪💪💪
Last week of the burnout challenge! I feel so glad i did this because I have the energy to go through exam season without feeling burnt out and demotivated. Let's get this over with 💪💪

My new term started yesterday so it's time to lock back in. I'm having such a better time on my new medication it's actually crazy. I've had such a rough time with meds that I was starting to wonder if any anti depressants would work for me.
I only have 8 classes left in this degree, and when planned out I anticipated taking 16 weeks out of my 26 week term. However, for my first class, I'm already through my weeks to-do list in one day. So my timeline may be too long. I think when I finish, I can just request to graduate then but I probably need to ask how that works.
So excited to finally graduate this year after starting college as a junior in highschool back in 2018.
I'm gonna try to post more frequently but we will see how that goes.
I also have a book idea/project planned. Though I'm sure my timeline plan for that is very ambitious. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to work full time or in my field (disability) but maybe I could be an author. Despite it not being in my field, I've actually had a lot of time self managing for this degree since it's online and self paced. Interesting how all the experiences and learning in your life feed back into each other like a web.
feeling very "Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!" about things rn
I've been seeing a lot of posts lately that tell dropouts "you can always go back!"
And that's not bad! It's true for a lot of people! You CAN go back later! You can apply to university, you can get your GED, you can pursue whatever level of education you want. It's not bad to share that message. If you dropped out and want to go back eventually, there is zero timeline. You can go back at any age, with any life experience. You do not have to graduate by a specific age.
But as someone who dropped out of college over a decade ago, sometimes "you can always go back!" starts to feel a little like an empty platitude. Sometimes it starts to feel grating instead of hopeful. Even when it might technically be true, sometimes it still feels like a hollow sentiment.
I just want to say, to anyone else out there who feels that way, who dropped out and CAN'T go back, potentially EVER, whether it's due to poverty or disability or any other reason:
It's okay to drop out and never go back. It might feel shitty, and you may even feel grief over it. That's real, and painful, and allowed. But you are not lesser. Even if you never go back, you are not a failure or a loser. Academics do not define your worth. You are not stupid. And it is almost certain that the system actually failed YOU.
I wanted to post over the weekend but I got sick 😭😭 so I've just been resting and trying to study in the small energy windows i get. The no burnout challenge is still going strong, I have not pushed myself past my limits, we doin good folks 💪💪💪💪
may was such a good reading month despite the horrors™️, however since it was my first month w my kobo i totally ignored my tbr and just had fun with trying new stuff😓 so i thought it would be a nice idea to share my june tbr so i dont keep on getting derrailed 😅😅
House of Leaves - bf lent it to me and i might buddy read it w one of my best friends :)) looking forward to this very much, i've been wanting to read this for years but waited for a physical copy
The most secret memory of men - rec from my irl from like 💀💀3 months ago. sorry bestie, i was busy! but just read the first 30 pages and im so excited to keep reading
The Striker - bday gift from a friend :)) i already read half of it, so im sure i'll finish it very soon
Im very excited for this reading month, all of those are over 500 pages 💀 but two are five start predictions, so im sure the pages will fly by. Im also planning to read Girl on Girl and some manga if i need a break from these big books hehe
Done with the intro (FINALLY)!! I still gotta write the abstract and deal with some details like phrasing and such, but my brunt of my project is done, I think. Just scheduled a meeting with my advisor to go through everything on monday, and I very much hope she likes it. Like please. Please like it I don't want to have to look at this again-
Maybe I can now think about how I'll fix whatever the fuck my sleep schedule turned into these past few weeks...? Maybe? I have a permanent pressure headache and can barely focus on anything at this point but there's still so much to study for even with this out of the way aaaaaaaaa
I'm almost, almost done with my intro; the thing that bothers me the most is that I can't really do bits and pieces of it each day, because picking up where I left off is kind of a terrible idea bc of how much time it takes for me to remember what the fuck I was thinking then. Instead!! I gotta write for 4 hours with no breaks and get big chunks of it done at a time or else.
SEE? I swear I want to get my sleep in order but I kinda can't until I check this off my list completely 😭
GETTING BACK ON TRACK — No burnout challenge [Day 18/30]
Eid Mubarak! Today was bakrid so I woke up early and took a shower. I felt really unwell so I ended up napping after breakfast. I woke up feeling slightly better, so i studied for a little while and then went on my daily walk. I bought some sugar-free icecream as a treat and also properly explored my neighborhood on foot for the first time (since living here all my life basically lmao). I've finally been given more freedom to walk/travel on my own and I'm making the most of it :D
I took a lot of breaks during my walk as there were lots of benches in the park. I convinced myself that it's okay to take those breaks and it's not like taking them will cancel out the benefits of the physical activity or that I'm "not really working out". The park near my house is close enough to the other houses that so many people of different ages and physical abilities come to walk there every evening. So it's very encouraging and motivating for me :)
The day ended with my sister buying me some really pretty stickers, and I also watched a video about debunking/deinfluencing StudyTube trends and as a person who consumed studytube content sometimes it gave me a nice little mindset shift. I took notes on the video in my commonplace journal so I can internalise it.
Study date with my partner! I’m so lucky to have her :)
Recently I invested in a heat-resistant glass cup and it largely improved my caffeinated life. It’s getting unbearably hot in Kyoto (it’ll be 35 degrees Celsius next Sunday), so iced latte and a glass which is able to tolerate it is a must for me!
If you’re in the northern hemisphere like me, let’s stay hydrated together during the hot season :D
