Completed my last final yesterday! Here are some recent post-semester coffees + a pork roll egg and cheese bagel. I can’t wait to blog my summer research and journaling. My Canvas wrapped is under the cut.

I got accepted for a research assistant scholarship today, and there was a rainbow! I can’t believe I’m moving out of my dorm tomorrow…

Yesterday evening answering emails and finish tasks with some chamomile tea.

you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.

I finished my last day of classes for the school year today. I have three exams to do and I’m moving out of my dorm at the end of the week— I can’t wait to not have to listen to my roommates snoring during the day. I’m also getting back into journaling (in my A5 Moomin Journal) after being spotty about it for a while.

Went to this secondhand book store this weekend with my friends, I didn’t buy anything but I got to see an adorable cat. I only have a week left of actual classes before finals. Can’t wait to be free from my assigned reading shackles for a few months; I’m gonna finish the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Got some new colored pens today, trying to work out how to use them. If anyone has a good color-coding system please feel free to share.

Crashing out over my impending Spanish exam and shitty avocado toast. But at least I got a new Owala cup!

Shout out to English Teacher Propaganda.

I love you books/movies that are actually English Teacher Propaganda.

I just know that Dead Poets Society is creating English Teachers left and right.

I don’t plan on teaching, but The Outsiders single handedly made me an English Major.

Today I got a note back on a grade that read, “Um… This is amazing!” and I’ll be riding that wave for a while.

I realized I’ve yet to post my 2026 Hobonichi. This is a very monochrome version of it.

does anyone else get academic zoomies? when everything starts to connect and your writing enters a flow state and everything is falling into place that you need to get up and pace around or scribble it down immediately or you'll forget it because you're so excited
