Sending love to everyone who is just... tired. Life is a lot, and sometimes the answer to it all is to just be still and silent for a while. Give yourself space and grace. Whether it’s decision fatigue, anxiety fatigue, information fatigue, routine fatigue, getting life back together fatigue, career fatigue, social fatigue, financial fatigue, or physical fatigue—take a moment to breathe and recharge. You deserve it.
is anyone else also doing ultimately fine + dying of stress + it’s not that bad + if i don’t wake up tomorrow hotter and better at every hobby its fucking over for me

Does anyone want to provide me with a hideout in the inescapable event of me failing my exam and being too embarrassed about it to go back home?

maybe it will be ok. maybe this is just a chapter of my life. I’m figuring things out. I’m feeling everything as I should. I don’t need to have answers yet. I’m allowed to take it one day at a time. I’m allowed to try again and again. none of this is a waste. I’m growing more each day.
2025. 01. 31 | Featuring the younger child.
It's been kind of a rough month but I think things are looking up.
I have some intense dental work to be done to keep my teeth healthy (bad genetics :/), but I won't lose any of them. I also have good dental insurance to cover a lot of the cost.
My Dutch course is considering switching to one three-hour class per week instead of two, which requires more self-study, but something that'll make my weekly schedule less hectic once I start my PhD.
One of my arms have healed and I'll consult a physio for my other one. I also have health insurance that will cover six sessions this year.
HR has finally sent over the documents I needed to fill out and send, meaning Feb 15 may be a likely start date for my contract! This is such a relief and brings me a lot of joy.
I haven't needed to touch my savings since Jan 2 and I'm hoping to keep it this way.
I couldn't have managed this on my own and have a lot of gratitude for my partner to get me through these rough moments honestly.
Speaking of partner, our application for marriage has been officially set for a nice date this summer! :)
The days are starting to lengthen, which is giving me Life.
I didn't realize my body was under so much stress and it's coming out in injuries/infection, which are all gradually healing. I haven't done any intensive exercise for a few weeks and have been prioritizing rest and sleep, so I'm hoping to be in shape for the start of my contract. I guess this happens when you hit your 30s.
I'm excited for these upcoming months. I finally feel like my life is moving forward doing exactly what I want to be doing. How lucky is that?
It’s sooo humiliating when you’re like, good and kind and open to other people and they don’t respond well
I know it's been a while since I've offered unsolicited advice to college students. But I've had a couple of experiences recently that impel me to say this: part of what your professors expect (well, hope for) from you is courtesy. Think of it as professional courtesy, if you like. This goes at least double for graduate students.
"Are you mad at me?" asked a student recently, regarding poor communication around deadlines. Because (obviously) we have a good relationship and I like the kid, I kept myself from scoffing at the notion when I said "Of course I'm not mad at you; here is what better communication would look like, and why it's desirable." We are not mad at you. We are not your parents. I cannot emphasize enough: we are not your parents.
Part of this professional courtesy, in my view, includes clear communication about your own desires, ambitions, and goals. This helps you respect your professors' time, and helps us use it well in your service. I've had students (yes, plural) use hours and years of my time before excluding me from their thesis committees. The fact that this is allowed to happen also has something to do with my colleagues. Also yes, the students were male. Multiple other students in the department have had faculty members, including me, rearrange our schedules entirely around alleged thesis projects they have then abandoned. One of these students came into my office recently, apparently to use my knowledge of secondary literature as a replacement for a basic library catalog search string. It's just... it's tiring. Yes, I am working on changing the professional/cultural norms of my department. In the meantime, PSA.
#i'm so tired#i love actually working with students on projects#i do not love being exploited
Bringing this back because I took on a teaching overload this semester to lead an independent study for a student who asked for it. The student has now dropped it, without communication of any kind.
