Today I had to go to the town I went to university in for an appointment and it felt so nostalgic. I miss the freedom of uni days. And I miss university and academic work. Unfortunately, it's much harder than I thought to keep engaging with academic texts once you no longer have to. It was something I loved but due to my workload and personal responsibilities I did not open a scientific paper since my defense. Another thing I have to add to my 'should do' list. Next to trying the yoga videos you recommended.

‘Tis the time of exploring and sightseeing! I’m so thankful to live in a country so rich with hidden but beautiful places to visit, I always have someplace to be when I’m feeling adventurous…

07.18.21. i've realized that i'm most productive in the morning, but i have to be at work at 9am sharp. solution: waking up early, dragging my limp, uncaffeinated body to the library, and trying to work on postbacc apps for an hour before work. being an adult... wouldn't recommend.

Dust-filled streaks of light, lukewarm coffee, the sticky plastic of library book covers, smudged ink, the smell of a candle just burnt out

30.07.21 | went to the cafe last sunday to clear my head while planning the next (this) week and turns out it was a rlly good idea bc it was a super productive afternoon!

Got a lot of my Notion set up - though I’m thinking of doing a bit of an overhaul this weekend - plus some handwriting practice bc my japanese writing is still super messy. I think I’m gonna make it a weekly occurrence and head there again tomorrow bc it was v refreshing nd the chai latte was to die for.

Day 12 of Summer Studying Challenge

I’m going through hard times lately but yesterday, talking to my family and my boyfriend really helped me even though I knew it was going to be hard to talk about the problems that i have and indeed it was harder than I thought. Just don’t save your thoughts or emotions to yourself, it’ll never be the best way to deal with it so think about sharing without any fear. I’m just saying don’t mind me.. (baby if you see this ily)

12th July - What is the worst vacation you have ever been on?

I actually don’t remember having any bad vacations cause like it’s always better than staying at home in summer days, imo of course

Winter Studying Challenge

7th January: Do you like the cold?

I think it can be refreshing and nice but I much prefer the feeling of coming in from the cold! I’ve been raking leaves in the garden this morning to get over what happened in Washington DC last night and now I’m moving onto my next essay. X Emily
