Another day bringing me closer to the deadline. I am almost done with the revisions so I'm right on schedule. Overall I am feeling confident I will be done in time.

Realised once again how much of a sucker I am for academic validation, oh well. At least I got positive feedback. Went to my 4h long Cultural Studies seminar, had lunch with some friends, sent a mail to get out of taking yet another library quiz. Still have to finish packing, complete my flashcards, and create some practice question sheets for my exam. Just completed everything I currently can complete for my didactics seminar – been considering dropping the class…

a lot of things together trying to hold me into studying without any motivation

Day 9/30

My car is at the repair shop right now, so I wanted to ride y bike to the gym. When I took it out of the garage, though, I saw that it had a flat tire and then I had to walk to the gym (thank god it's only a 30 minute walk). I love walking, but only when I want to, not when I have to. Does that make sense?

Anyway that kind of put me in a bad mood today and I didn't get much done. I only wrote half a chapter and added a few citations.

crashing out at library core

friend and i: at library

the maths: not mathing

time left: about 50 minutes until library closes

i also feel irrationally guilty for studying with my friend instead of practicing driving with my mum ✨✨

This is the foundation of all hope btw. In the words of Tolkien, 'despair is for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'

Friday the 13th. Amazing day! I’m a little superstitious, ngl. But nothing bad happend so far, so we are gonna be fine.

The exam period is in its midst of grading me down. I’m genuinely so unmotivated and procrastinated a lot. One exam is done and I got my B1 Swedish certification! I’m proud of this and actually getting enrolled in this course. Now I can speak, read and understand a new language on a solid level. That is crazy!!

I need to go back to studying, I also need so get an internship for next semester. Wish me luck.
