getting through validating data sheets

reorganised my zotero-notion system

read literature for my review

worked on a writing project with my friend

finished reading two books

i've largely had a productive week! some days i randomly get really exhausted and have to nap for hours to recover, though. i also feel a bit lost in my group meetings, like i am not making as much progress as people in my research group. i have a year but i hope i submit a really strong phd proposal. i'm struggling to find grounding with my pet project at the moment.

19.05.26 💐 officially done with half of my master's thesis! this week i'm taking a break from everything. things are moving very quickly right now, i will be done with my thesis sooner than expected, i've handed in my first job application and summer is coming. i'm still feeling fairly calm about it all but i really need this break to catch my breath! ♡♡♡

Early this morning I started researching ideas for my psychology thesis. It was rainy and there was no sugar for my coffee, but I’m happy to have started! I now feel closer to finding my thesis topic ♡

i really fucking love seeing studyblr posts that briefly mention OP's same-sex partner. just casually, like it's so natural. like everything is going to be okay for us all and the future is good.

My research keeps getting more and more interesting. I’m trying something big to fund my academic life!
