i bought quite a few new plants over quarantine but i love them so much💕🌱

bio and chem are def a lot to keep up with (especially their labs) but so far i think i’m managing it pretty well :) we had our first bio quiz yesterday and i got a pretty good grade so i’m hoping it stays that way. also my chem prof is so nice he starts out all of his lectures doing karaoke and talks to his dog and cat all the time🥺

I had planned on working on catching up with this book, Evelina by Frances Burney, all day today, and I was good in the morning but in the afternoon I got distracted by football (and the Eagles didn’t even win!) and doing laundry. I was able to get through a bit of the book, but definitely not enough. I forgot to take a picture during the day so here is one of me reading by a book light in bed before falling asleep.

I didn’t do any work yesterday and I did very little the day before, so today I had to get up early and get right to work to get back on schedule. I read from The Marx-Engel Readers for Major Texts in Critical Theory. After I read through a case study for my Management and Organizations course. I had to watch Road to Nowhere (2010) for my film class on New Hollywood Cinema, and then finished off the day reading from Evelina for my senior seminar titled “Reading Jane Austen Reading”.

dark academia but it’s online school

- waking up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, even though you don’t actually need to

- staying up late to read or paint because you don’t have to get up early

- handwriting assignments that should be typed and submitted digitally

- having a coffee cup with you, rather than a thermos because you don’t have to take it anywhere

- still getting ready and dressed so that you can feel focused on your work in the mornings

- emailing your teachers to see if they have any extra reading related to the topic

- turning in all of the assignments for the week earlier than the rest of your class because you wanted to finish them early

- not doing any assignments for the week because you were too interested in researching about different planets or the deep sea

If this essay doesn’t kill me, nothing will. I’m currently grappling with the concept of connecting Du Bois’ concept of double consciousness with post-structuralism. I don’t know whether I’m being very clever or very stupid. (x)

12.06.2020 | 1/30

Currently, it’s around 1 p.m. I have been slacking off all morning but at least I’m going to watch an online lecture or two this afternoon, as well as doing an assignment that is *coughs* due tomorrow. That’s it that’s a start.

Another plan for today is sorting out my courses for an upcoming semester because next week I’ll have a consultation with my academic advisor. Guess who’s going for 21 cr again? This bean. Still, I really hope that I can get into that one literature course I’ve been wanting to take because, ahem, love me some period dramas :P

Featuring: lots of ink (I’m highkey obsessed with the reddish-brown one), brush pens, and (hopefully still usable) highlighters. I haven’t done traditional notes in a while.

We’re reading Endgame by Samuel Beckett in my Post-Apocalyptic Drama class right now. And yes, I am taking a course on apocalypse in the middle of this pandemic. We were actually actively reading Angels in America when shit hit the fan and we were all sent into isolation. The comparisons between the AIDs epidemic and Corona really pissed me off because of the complete lack of understanding of the social issues at play in either scenario. 

Anyway, taking that class right now is definitely adding to my stress level. Before the semester started, it was the course I was most excited for, and for the first half, it was my favorite course to go to. Last week, I found myself wondering if it was too late to drop it.

I do really still enjoy the course; the professor, Katherine Biers, is amazing and the material is really fascinating. I’m trying my best to just compartmentalize and dive into the course work and not think about the current global situation.
