🌲 cozy friday morning 🌲

1. my golden doodle, ginger, loves being in my room with me. she’ll take any chance she gets to take a long nap on my bed while i sit at my desk and study.

2. this is the first page of my soon to be several page study guide for my human a&p exam i take after thanksgiving. i’m majoring in occupational therapy assisting (if anyone was wondering haha). chapter 11 is very complex and is challenging me in ways i’m going to have to get used to if i want to survive this semester. obviously having family around for the holidays will be difficult if i also need to focus on this exam. i will never understand why professors plan things the way they do. here’s hoping for easier professors to come!

Since I am so busy during the week it’s nice to be able to spend time at home during the weekend. J works every single day at the moment so I am alone. I can feel the sunrise coming into the room through the balcony door, slipping under the curtains. Not fully awake, sipping the last of the coffee, watching orange circles of light in the glass

U gotta be able to see past the circumstances you’re in.

Just found out I was accepted to a top PhD program in my field and this is so appropriately timed. 

The last two years have been such the struggle, working as a server full-time to pursue my internship part-time so that I could one day go to grad school. There were so many times that I was down about my path, not getting paid using my degree, always broke, always tired.

But I did it! And I did it better than I even expected! I didn’t get into just any program, but an internationally ranking program and its just so surreal for me. That all of that work did eventually pay off. In the midst of all the pain and feeling of inadequacy, that was always so difficult to keep in sight. But it is so important in moving forward, on to something better for you.

i love this. congrats whoever u may be 🦋

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow

This is the most comforting, warm and important piece of text I have ever read, and it is so true. No life is wasted that is spent sharing and loving.

16.04.19 // back home for the Easter holidays! I did no work for the first week and now I’m trying to get through my analytical review, which is due as soon as I get back 🙄 I also want to finish my notes from last term, so we’ll see how that goes… 📝

planning your work / doing your work ahead of time allows you to space out your tasks over a longer period of time while allowing you to identify any areas of the tasks you might need more time on / clarification. procrastinating? more stress, more work in shorter periods of time, and more areas to screw up on bc you didn’t have enough time to clarify your doubts. so why are you still procrastinating? get working!!

Having a look at biology and chemistry programs is overwhelming and scary BUT nothing is impossible and I truly deeply want this so I’ll manage, somehow, I hope!

30.1.2019 // On the Train from Berlin to Göttingen. I’m going to attend the Poetikvorlesungen ( Poetic Lectures) of the German poet and author Monika Rinck. I’m writing my Master thesis on her poetry and essay work and she’s going to speak about “Lyric between Fiction and Non-Fiction”.

Even funnier thing to imagine: resurrecting Diogenes too and telling him that “Platonic” relationships means not fucking, he’d probably laugh himself back to death.

[anarchomoop]

So I actually know the origin of this term because it came up when I studied Plato in my classes.  Basically, in ancient Greece it was a super common practice for teachers to fuck their students.  Like all the time.  It was considered a way for the student to “pay” the teacher.  Plato thought this was bullshit.  He felt that a student could not properly learn from someone who was truly only interested in having sex with them.  He didn’t fuck his students and derided those who did.  Other teachers who refused to fuck their students were said to have “platonic” teaching relationships with them – so named because they were following Plato’s example.  So the reason it’s called a Platonic relationship is because Plato was heavily anti-teachers-fucking-their-students and it’s one of the few things he was ever even remotely correct about.
