the end of an era

On May 23 I finished my undergraduate degree, somehow managing to double major in History and French with minors in Linguistics and International Relations. I’m so glad I got to go to the college I chose (and particularly grateful for scholarships!), because I got to meet and live with some very lovely people. The college I went to gave me access to the best academic experiences of my life: a summer internship working for my prof on an archaeological site in Türkiye & a 6 month semester in Paris, France.

I had plenty of hard times— I can’t say that I am a good student, but college has made me confident to say that I can be a good scholar. In September, I will be starting a masters program in Iron Age Archaeology, which I am genuinely thrilled about (and I hardly ever use that word). I expect that next year will be even harder academically than anything I’ve done so far, but I’m so excited to try.

This summer I won’t be doing much— I’m tutoring a couple hours a week, but other than that I’m just helping my mum clean up the house to sell. I will try to keep posting (mostly book stuff, research, and chores) and maybe try to get back into art.

If anyone's feeling sad today, here's a newly discovered species of octopus. Found in the waters off the Galapagos Islands, this little critter can fit in the palm of your hand.

Tiny alienlike blue octopus discovered lurking off the Galápagos Islands

This teensy creature was discovered along a deep-sea mountain

It's like they found a new Pokémon. :)

(RTE.ie has video of the find, here:)

'It's blue'- scientists find new deep-sea octopus

On the ocean floor near the Galapagos Islands, a submersible controlled by scientists came across a mysterious octopus as blue as the ocean
