Studying in the kitchen and the tiny bat my brother got me, aka my new emotional support lil guy

27|12|2023

I took a couple of days break for family celebration purposes but now I am back to my studying and I very resentful about it. I wanted to take the full week off, but since I was sick last week and couldn't study for some days I now have so much to do before my exams in January and February. I will try to squeeze in a few more rest days, but before that I am trying to power through the book I am studying right now. The other goal is to try to see my bestie as much as I can since she won't be here for long. I have already spent time with her family on christmas day, as it is a tradition of ours for me to spend the late afternoon and evening at her place every year. And tomorrow, tho I plan to have a full day of studying, we should be able to spend time together in the late afternoon and evening. I am feeling quite energized even though I am annoyed I am stuck studying instead of minding my own business for a whole week. Today I read and highlighted almost two chapters and wrote down notes for almost everything I read today. I decided that this week in the mornings I will try to get as much reading done as I can and in the afternoon I will focus on writing notes down. This is the best way for me to follow my natural energy levels during the day and make the best of my time. I cannot wait to be done with this thing. I should also start setting up my journals for next year, but I have not been able to do that yet.

calm hobbit winter activities and productivity:

read first thing in the morning (I am still reading Bookshops and Bonedust and you know what? I am not enjoying it as much as I expected. I am really struggling to get to the end, the cozy element feels a bit forced in this one compared to Legends and Lattes and the books should have definitely been shorter. I never thought I'd say it but I cannot wait for this book to be over and to move on to something else)

daily Irish practice on duolingo (and today I did a lot and felt very productive in this sense, working on duolingo in the early morning is definitely the best option for me, I need to keep it in mind)

read and highlighted two chapters of my book and annotated (almost) everything

updated my reading journal

started to outline my 2024 goals

wrote a couple of book reviews

People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories, diagrams of all of their old wounds. Most of our old wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them, don’t. Some wounds, we carry with us everywhere… and though the cut is long gone, the pain still lingers. What’s worse? New wounds, which are so horribly painful, or old wounds, which should have healed years ago, and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we’ve been, and what we’ve overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That’s what we like to think. But that’s not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over… again.

Everyone seemed to really need/appreciate this last time I did it so I'm doing it again:

pick the one you need to hear the most and pass it along.

I'm proud of who you've become.

You're worthy of being loved. You're not unlovable

You're safe. It's okay. It'll all be alright.

It's okay to be vulnerable.

You can put yourself first. It's okay to be selfish every now and then.

You were a child, it wasn't your fault.

It will get better. You will get better. It just takes time.

You are important. You matter.

You're not obligated to please everyone.

Your scars don't make you any less beautiful.

Paperbacks!

I had some brown packing paper I took from work (we get deliveries every day and everything is wrapped in this sturdy brown paper inside the parcels, and it seemed a water to throw away) as well as some thin board that actually came with an IKEA furniture delivery, the board was layered between components in the box. I decided to try to turn those things into a paperback but hadn’t really thought through how to do it so the first one I made (last weekend) came out a little wonky and for some reason I’d done the turn ins after casing in…it doesn’t look very neat.

But the concept works so I went back to it this weekend and did two more, this time printing titles and a spine symbol on the paper first.

Lookit my very nice breakaway spines in action! Also bonus photo of inside the spine because I used book cloth offcuts to reinforce the spine (instead of paper strips) as I thought the more flexible material would work better.

Enchanters trilogy by K.F. Bradshaw

(Enchanters, Conduit, Surge)

The people of Damea are no strangers to magic. They have wielded it for years - woven it into their societies and everyday lives. From powering marvelous cities, to building dazzling infrastructures to maintaining even the tiniest of farms, magic is the backbone of Damea. It is a part of them, it breathes with them.

But the magic is dying, and taking Damea with it. With the land rapidly heading towards a catastrophe, Andrea, a shy and idealistic apprentice enchanter, is determined to restore Damea’s lifeline. To make matters more complicated, a stranger from another world is brought into the mess after a powerful spell goes wrong.

Hunted by her former mentor and with a civil war standing in her way, can Andrea escape her pursuers and convince the skeptical stranger to assist her in restoring magic to Damea? Or will she fail and leave Damea to its disastrous fate?

"I'll figure it out" is a powerful statement. Yes, you may not know what to do next or where to even begin... but you are ready and willing to do what it takes. You will in fact figure it out.
