August 9, 2020 🌡️📚 this AC train might've been the only place today where my brain didn't decide to just shut down entirely. it's 35C outside and not loving it.

August 7, 2020. 🌡️🔥 it's too hot to think but this thing won't write itself. also cut up a daily planner from moleskine that i just never use to deal with the sudden lack of space in my hobonichi.

July 2020 📘 one month into the new hobonichi planner i treated myself to 😍 so far im loving it ! i was worried it’d be too small at first, and i’ve ran into some crammed days but nothing terrible + the 70 pages at the back are a godsent.

📚 26.04.2020. been struggling to stay motivated lately, but i have three deadlines in the next week so i gotta push through! also taped my fave historical person to my desk lamp as motivation.

📚 23.04.2020. my thesis draft deadline is coming up and my brain is just not meant for structuring papers! each time i try to outline, i suddenly think of a paragraph i should include and get distracted. so ive started a page in my notebook just called "random things to include" for my to just note down all those random sentences.

💻 22.04.2020. busy day! my first live online lecture happened (at 10am which should be illegal), then did next week's assigned reading and tried to incorporate some old notes w the ppt information.

quarantine challenge week five, day three: what is your favourite song? god i dont rlly have one favourite song? my favourite artists however are bastille and rammstein! been on a bit of a rammstein binge lately, so i guess i could pick deutschland as my favourite song

📖 21.04.2020. writing parts of my thesis on paper because i find it makes me overthink and edit less.

quarantine challenge week 5, day 1: what is your favourite film? probably pride (2014)! it's so feel good even if it makes me cry a lot throughout.

week 5, day 2: what is your favourite book? it's been a while since ive read something not for university, but metro 2033 is a book i could keep rereading. the main character is amazing, the wod is very well build and the horror is terrifying.

☀️ 20.04.2020. after a very unproductive weekend: a monday with a plan! the morning was full of archival law reading, the afternoon had me catching up on a recorded class for religious and cultural history. hoping to squeeze some thesis writing in as well.
