(I lent a book to someone the other day and said “just ignore my notes, I wrote another book in there.” This made me laugh so hard)

no sleep, no coffee🌛

Just like the night before I slept less than 4 hours tonight, yay…Our coffee machine didn’t feel like doing its job at 6.30am (me too, my dear, me too), so the only thing that made me feel somewhat alive was todays sunset. Since the term is almost over we’re not doing too much in classes anymore. Gladly that means I can more or less relax until February. Except for homework and teachers getting on my nerves (my tutor huh). Who didn’t get on my nerves though was a friend of mine! They asked if I could give them feedback on their writing samples for their uni applications and I really enjoyed reading and reviewing it! It was a mix of short stories, text excerpts and poems; their last poem was my personal favourite :)

Now: watching soccer match, hoping to sleep >4h

One of my FAVOURITE things to do when I'm reading a new story (outside of annotating) is to annotate any mentions of literature, history, or historical figures (brown pen/highlighter/tab), because the author chose those for a purpose and it adds SO MUCH MORE context and depth to the characters and their stories.

More than that, I get a fun little history or science lesson!

Just some annotations from when I re-read Albert Camus’ The Fall while writing my thesis:)
