does anyone else get academic zoomies? when everything starts to connect and your writing enters a flow state and everything is falling into place that you need to get up and pace around or scribble it down immediately or you'll forget it because you're so excited

some days with my planner (definitely not a hobonochi dupe. no sir) and spending time with friends.

got another meeting with my supervisor soon. thankfully I was afraid of nothing and she is amazing and extremely helpful. very appreciative of this chance to start my phd with a lot of guidance.

🌟🌟❄️❄️ took the time during the holidays to just chill and paint a bunch with all the new art supplies I got...

...and maybe dig around a little in my pilot corpus study but that has been a dumpster fire so I'm just pretending that it doesn't exist for now. I'm just writing a skeleton for my first (possibly single authored) paper 🥂

I had an amazing weekend, making the christmas tree and going to christmas markets.

Today I had to work for my internship in the afternoon instead of in the morning which always devastates me.

But I am happy because I went eating sushi with my friends at lunch.

After dinner I am going to work a couple hours on the presentation I'll have to hold for my "methods for life course approach research" class (one thing my university is not great at is managing the lenght of the classes' names).

I have a couple deadlines this week, and I am stressed out at the idea of managing them together with the internship. But next weekend I am going on a trip with my boyfriend so all is good.

its a little embarrassing how long it takes to edit your cv and then it isnt even really that impressive

hooray, a full year of using my hobonichi weeks! these were some of my favorite pages :)) my thoughts below:

as i've mentioned in previous posts on my hobonichi experience, i had so much fun this year using my hobonichi weeks. as someone who doesn’t use gcal or any digital schedule for my personal life, my planner has truly saved my life on many occasions!!!

there are times in which i wish i had more space on the righthand side but i like how the lack of space actually forces me to get creative. i was also surprised that i don't actually run out of things to glue/tape. that was my one concern but i amass enough ephemera throughout the week. i mention in the techo kaigi page but my goal in 2026 for my hobonichi weeks is to use the other pages, especially notes and the monthly calendars.

q for my fellow stationery freaks out there: how was your 2025 experience? any 2026 goals?
