Inspired by @semperstudiesss ‘s long-post dop update and I really don’t feel like restarting the challenge
Tue 2 Jun 26 ୭\ˊ˗ It was A’s birthday today and I had accidentally created a noodle theme with her gifts. Went out on a walk with the dogs while the weather was still good and just sat around after… then I got the email….
*cough cough*: “The Chem + Chem Eng undergraduate examination board met in June 2026 and as you have failed …”
— 👀… what?!? How do you knoww?? What’d I fail?? How do you know what marks I got and I don’t??
So yeah, that’s how I got to know that our results were out 😅. I did really well on my Inorganic, Instrumental Methods and Practical modules, but I got the lowest grade I’ve ever gotten on my Organic one. I’ve passed the class with a whooping 42% but as I failed the actual exam I do have to retake it. So there goes my Bosnia trip which lies right in the majority of the resit test period TvT👍 — but I got my deposit back at least!
I’m really happy with the other grades though, I’m sitting at an overall 76 mark (71 if I pass all of Organic). So my afternoon was then spent with figuring out what I need to do to take the resit, emailing my professor clarifying questions I had, and discussing how my friends had done on their exams!
Planned on making this update the following morning while finishing up cleaning my room, but at about midnight S texted to clarify that the plans were for tomorrow and whether I had my gift for A sorted yet. As she’s been working the past few days, she had no time to go shopping and I offered to go with her to help pick something out and keep company. So those were my productive plans gone 😂 but what’s a little sacrifice to help out a friend.
Wed 3 I prepped for A’s party and got absolutely obsessedddd with the temporary tattoos I bought!! Thought they looked so so fun! I also brought a change of shoes with me, but luckily having kept 👠 them in the freezer with some water had stretched them out enough! (the previous attempts at heating them while wearing 2 pairs of fluffy socks hadn’t worked out that well and I did have to glue back the inner soles a bit)
Drove round to S’s and it was the first time that I actually was in her car! It’s super cute all the pink decor she’s got for it! She drove us to the shopping centre and we actually got sorted really quickly! Stayed in Waterstones for ages looking at their games selection, saying how fun some of them looked and how we need to buy a few more to have for our upcoming trip in July — and also how we just need to play board games more often! We got back to her car just as it started raining again and stuck around talking and gossiping about the friend group’s drama and it’s relationships over the past few years, as well as our future living plans and lack thereof . It was really sweet and I’m super happy that she’s gotten close with some people at her uni and has a house sorted with 1 of them for the next year ^^ 💕
Caught K up on the drama before heading to R’s for the party and so glad I did because whenever we got to the bar THE DRAMA WAS THERE SJAHSJAHDKHAJDHAHS, part of it anyway and it wass hilarious without the rest of them knowing the updates. It actually turned out to be a really fun night and although the pool table wasn’t working, I got to dance with K instead and actually had a few drinks for myself! Was still sore from exercising 2 days ago but 😮💨
I might actually put this in my bucket list now that I’m thinking about it, but I satisfied my slavic roots by getting a shot of vodka and I actually enjoyed it 😂. Been wanting to do that just once for a while, just for the fun of it. Created a ranked list of the drinks I tried as well because I would not be able to remember any of the names otherwise and my friends had a good laugh at me for it lol. Back at R’s it was really funny seeing A and R come to as they have had a lot more to drink and the deep talks, the politics, hygiene, family drama and issues we still have with our high school were great conversation topics. I do regret offering to sleep on the floor though because I though that the
Thurs 4 Bought breakfast for us this morning after urging time to go faster because of the amount of times I woke up during the night and the discomfort of having to try and fall back asleep while being frozen alive (normally at her house I’d be roasting so idk what the floor did to me…). I also spent more on food for everyone than it had cost them to buy me drinks last night 😭 Wasn’t gone long after and it was so nice to freshen up back home afterwards.
My mum had to come home early though because she was unwell and I took her to the hospital for a check with half-done clown make up haha, was an interesting experience. Dad came home early tho and took over the care while I finished prepping before the circus 🎪 and let me tell you just how incredible of a night it was!!!!! I got a video of pretty much every act and everything was so unique, and the crowd work was super!! The little girls behind us were way too brainrotted and pick-me for their own good but we ignored them as much as we could. K and I both had a little bit of make up/face paint for the clown look and one of the workers there absolutely loved it! 💕 I already want to go back and see another show!
Fri 5 The punch cards and this challenge have been at the back of my mind constantly for the past few days and I’m not happy with the progress I’ve been making so far. I need to focus on committing and being there for myself for it more!! 💪 I worked most of the day today and it was an alright shift, did some stretches afterwards but just barely.
Stuck on what to make for dinner, a local pizza place came into the conversation and it had a really nice menu so I ordered it. It was not clear however that I ordered the food for a same-name place down in another city though 🤦♀️. So no wonder the delivery option was going to take 40mins… should have just gotten it delivered tbh because they didn’t give us a refund or anything after I called them. Apparently this happens a lot with the local place…
Finished reading Solaris by Stanisław Lem and started Ghost Smith by Nicki Pau Preto
Sat 6 The other week I saw that The Lumineers were having a concert in a nearby city and since I have listened to practically their whole discography and really loved it! Before I have known and loved only a few of their songs. I texted the groupchat if anybody would want to go with me but they either didn’t know them and/or didn’t have the money to go… And as an anxious woman I wouldn’t totally fancy going by myself, however much I’d love to. It’s been replaying in my mind that I could still ask K if he wanted to go with me but he’s already going to a concert the week after, it would be in the middle of our uni-work week, and we haven’t met up a whole load of times and I perpetually fear having awkward conversations — even if my meet up with S, who I haven’t gone out with alone before, was an excellent point against this happening. Still, I have a few other meet ups planned with some others, I’ll probably be seeing K in work, and I can save up for some other (more expensive) concerts which I’d love to go to and know that more of my friends would be interested in.
I’m trying very hard to keep reading but I can only do a few pages because for some reason my eyes are getting super watery and tired/unfocused whenever I try to do so without my glasses — and it’s not like I’m longsighted so idk what’s going on with that :/ So it’s still hard getting out of the slump at the moment.
Sun 7 (Woo we’re on Sunday! Only 3 more updates to go!)
There is a space themed 🪐🔬 event happening at a sort of science centre we have and it seems truly interesting and like a lot of fun especially that no kids are allowed to attend it, but I’ve been in a mood this past week and I really can’t be bothered with it. Normally I don’t mind driving but I know I’ll have to and it’s just going to be annoying with having to go back home after working at uni, have to change and clear up all my stuff on not a lot of time, and head back up again. The last 2 late drives I’ve had back from the city haven’t been real pleasant experiences and I wanted to avoid driving preferably anyone, but especially a large group, for a while after. And since I haven’t been able to drive up or down alone to clear my mind off it... The event is in 3 weeks time so I’m sure I’ll be in a better head space and be more excited for this, but for the moment I really just wanted to skip out on this..
Created a new punch card so that I wash my socks more often rather than throwing them in the laundry and I made the back phm themed upon @nasa’s # MoonJoyJune art challenge! 🚀💥
I also had an idea for something to research! I think punk history 🎸⛓️💥 might be interesting and has a lot of side routes to explore!
Mon 8 Parents left for a little bit so I got a little bit of violin practice done which I’m really happy with! I also booked an F1 themed pottery painting night to do with A and I’m really glad this is something they’re also interested in doing!
I bought some new clay from work and I haven’t seen this brand before, so especially that working with clay was on my punch card, I really wanted to give it a try! And the other clay I normally use also tends to give me some issues…. But I made a little face of my oc/persona and I love how it’s turned out!!!!! Myra is looking real cute already ^^
I did some of the punk 🖇️ research and I didn’t do that much, only done a page of notes but I really enjoyed it and this is exactly what I wanted The Sci Journal to be before I made the too-big plans for it and began to stress myself over it. So I will continue with the research and I also hope that it’ll help motivate me whenever I begin to study for my resit, before I get the site back active again.
Over the past few days I’ve had some really lovely interactions with customers in work! It’s always so so nice seeing strangers be kind and compliment each other 💖
Been keeping my phone gallery to under 10,000 now that I’ve got it down so much
Tue 9 So I’m starting to get sick 😭🤧 and I wanted to start today with a dog walk followed by some exercise at home and then a shower, but I literally barely had the energy to just get out of bed.. Because I think I’ve already used up all my ‘rest’ days that I had planned for for this challenge, I might have to rethink my goal… I don’t want to injure myself again from pushing myself too hard when I’m not normally active; I do need to find a balance for keeping active though.
I emailed one of my previous art teachers again because I put away all of the art stuff 🎨🎭 I had gotten back into a folder and noticed I was missing a few. I’m glad I did too because this time I might actually get into the school and be able to talk face-to-face with the teachers and pick up the art myself!
Been doing some un-neglect for myself and my things by unfurling and putting up my embroidery threads on the wall so I can start the next # MoonJoyJune project which is embroidering onto a t-shirt which I’ve been meaning to do practically since I got it! Also listened a lot to Everybody’s Worried About Owen which I’ve really been enjoying this evening! 🎶🎤

This week I received my propedeuse (first year certificate). As I finished highschool in the summer of 2018, this was loooong overdue.
As some might know, before I became @aeronauticalstudyblr, my user was @aerospacestudyblr. During 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, I studied aerospace engineering at TUDelft. Unfortunately, due to some mental and physical challenges, in June 2020 I decided to try something new: aeronautical engineering at Hogeschool Inholland.
This certificate is the cherry on top of the amazing cake that represents the past year and I'm looking forward to the upcoming year!
