31-10-2024

At the beginning of the month I finally had my graduation ceremony. I already graduated in February but my university has the ceremony only once a year.

I started working like 10 months ago so it felt a bit weird tbh. I couldn't graduate with my friends so I knew no one there.

Starting next week I will be working in a different city actually. I'm going to a different department and will officially become a tax inspector!

What do you mean that June is almost over? What even is time? And most importantly, why is time?

I have not been dealing very well with the heatwave, my energies and ability to focus are on a huge low at the moment. Sometimes I just need to lay on the floor to regain a human temperature. This week I would like to start the actual planning of my thesis chapters in order to be able to finally start writing, despite still having some stuff to read. But I really need a change in work and hopefully doing that will energize me a bit. Aside from the heat and the thesis plans, I have been reading graphic novels and doing sudokus in my free time, as well as some embroidery when I can. I do need to buy some new yarn, which I might do tomorrow if I can fit that in my to dos for the day.

26.05.2026 // drowning in the stress spiral

struggling with the current chapter that i am writing; once again, the feeling that i've bitten off more than i can chew. i'm dealing with the stress by procrastinating, which is of course causing even more stress. last week of teaching and then off to marking assignments.

a friend told me that she's finally submitting her phd thesis next week and i actually gasped out loud. when i had first met her 2.5yrs ago, she had just come back from her fieldwork and was struggling to get back into writing. we will eventually get there.

Thesis research, what's in my backpack to study at my brother's, finally getting to wear the crochet shirt I made last summer, rereading zerocalcare's books side quest.

20|06|2026

This week has been quite intense, with new materials to read for my thesis before I start writing, work and side quests. There was also a bit of chaos at my place so I did my best to stay out of the house and avoid a constant headache caused by the noise. I continued my watch of The Mandalorian with my brother, got a fresh haircut, finally went to get a blood test which I have been avoiding for too long. Today I got to wake up to the lovely surprise of the dog being over, I have never had such a joyous start to the day. Since the heat today decimated both my and the dog's energy we mostly layed on the floor to cool down and I started to reread some graphic novels which I cannot wait to continue.

It's been well over 30°C here for several days now and I am being boiled alive. This awful weather really doesn't make studying the most boring subject ever molecular modeling any easier. I finished reading Glory by Vladimir Nabokov yesterday and it was so good I didn't want to part with the book when I was done with it ahaha I just carried it around for a little longer. Highly recommend if you're into classics

I wish I were the kind of student who can just write. Like sit down for a couple of hours and bang out a rough first draft. My first writing assignment is a five-page essay with mainly our personal opinions and I wanted to have something done today, but... no luck.

On the other hand, the assigned topic is also awful so it's not just me.

Started summarizing a paper

Brainstormed a stupid essay (😶)

Worked on my research project

-> To do: Sign up for classes for next semester

One last final left and oh my god I hate computational chemistry so much 😭 No offence to anyone but this stuff is just so mind numbingly boring I can barely focus on studying it. Experimental chemistry ftw ❤️‍🩹

I'm seeing my thesis supervisor tomorrow with the final version of my poster, and then I'm most likely going to have it printed! It makes me kind of nervous to think about it bc what if it looks good on my laptop screen but not irl 😅 I mean, we're talking A0 here, that thing will be the size of a blanket lol every imperfection will show!

Since I never study at home, I made my desk into a journaling station
