My days look so similar right now. During the week I go the gym, go to work and then I come home, have lunch and work on my thesis. Even my meals are the same.

Well, I love having a routine but some nice events every once in a while would also be cool. I did skim 2 secondary sources today and even found and read one about a staging of Cavendish's The Convent of Pleasure. Now I just have three sources left, Butler's Gender Trouble and two other works that deal with utopian studies. Sadly, the last two still haven't arrived at my university library and I'll have to read them in November.

Editing is a very slow process and even copious amounts of tea can’t help me. I’m hoping to finish the initial suggested edits of my first chapter today but who knows what will happen.

I don’t wanna take the world for granted, While I’m still trying to understand it // 20 October 2020

I am so close to completing my practicum approval process, but of course my capstone approval starts in two weeks lmao. Today was really busy with school stuff but tomorrow is my day to run errands and catch up on my life!

i'm freaking out. the more i study neurology, the more i find myself actually interested in medicine. thing is, i was premed for a hot sec before i changed my mind in my sophomore year. i don't think i fully considered how much work it'd be, and finally confronting those challenges terrified me.

now, i've already graduated and have a job, with the goal of applying to phd programs next year. but... because i do medical research and work closely with patients, nurses, and doctors, i'm finding myself spending hours just reading about, say, vascular territories, and actually enjoying it. in a way i never did when i was premed. which freaks me out. medicine? i thought i already failed once.

i won't make any sweeping statements about my future, but i'm not as frightened of failure as i once was. i am reminding myself that it's okay to start over and change my mind. there is always time. i'm actually feeling excited for the future again. ♡

Today’s weather is gloomy and perfect but I can’t enjoy it because I’m stuck inside editing my thesis. At least I have lots of tea.

I studied the intersections between Transpersonal and Feminist theory yesterday….then got distracted with pumpkin carving, and pumpkin pie baking.
