rereading frankenstein as a real-life scientist instead of a high schooler is slightly alarming because victor and i have a similar approach to work-life balance in the chemistry lab.

Failed at my master's blog, let's give PhD a shot! New Amazon keyboard so I will be the belle of the ball (my office).

visited the second mandatory tutorial session for my literature class, then sought shelter in the psych library as it has an ac, before returning to my beloved humanities library. read 30 pages for tomorrows seminar & wrote the first draft of a short story - still have to type it into an actual document.

A lot of work these days... It has been raining for the last few days which is not too bad as I can focus on my tasks much better when the weather is not urging me to wander off into the forest...

8 May 2026 ☁️

Coincidentally, today is another Friday off. I caught up on note taking for the specialization class this morning, went shopping (did not resist the bookstore), then came back home and now I'm working on another presentation. Pretty sure I said this before, but all I do this semester is make presentations, they just never end!

What's in my bag tutoring edition, and my usual messy desk (you cannot see it but there is way too many tea stains I have to do something about it hdjdjej).

Master thesis adventures #29

I needed to take the morning off so I spent it with the dog, and in the afternoon I decided to write down some very quick notes on the book i have read this week. Since I didn't want to break up the notes in my thesi commonplace book, I did something very out of character for me. I wrote down digital notes while I was fresh with the info of the last book, and I will write down actual handwritten notes in my journal as soon as I'll be done with the notes of the other book I have paused. Ngl the digital notewriting was way quicker than I expected, which is making me question my study method, but I know that I would be never able to actually study from them. The good thing is that I have learned a good tecnique to write down draft notes quickly when I need to. I might end up using this again in the future, who knows. I did write down notes for the whole book, so I am very proud of myself. Next week I'll get back to the other book and hopefully I'll finish at least reading it. I also have to email my supervisor, but I might do that tomorrow, because right now my brain is soup and I don't want to rush a bad email just to take the task off my to do list.

feeling like an academic victim at this point of the semester :’))

weekends spent taking notes, vivid highlighters and brush pens, ink smudges on finger tips, a light breeze coming through the window, the smell of textbooks and the light off the computer, the occasional sound of underlining text

10.06.2026 // digital detox hours

realised that i've been spending way too much time online, so decided to do a digital detox for a few hours (after taking aesthetic photos, of course). my friend and i, sitting beside each other in quiet intimacy at the community library—me, journalling and reading; her, translating from sinhala to english.
