Cozy Sweaters, Coffees & Studying ✨
That pretty much sums it all up for me for the past week! I have been a little more social than usual, as many of my former coursemates were in town for their graduation ceremony (if you're new here: I took a year off, so they've graduated without me). It was lovely seeing them and catching up, but also somewhat bittersweet as I see them moving into new chapters of their lives and I am still in university. I guess I am trying to remain positive by reminding myself that each of us have our own timeline, and that I am exactly were I am meant to be.
In terms of studying, I have been keeping up.
Yesterday I went to the library and wrote the reading report I have to turn in for my State & Society in the Late Ottoman Empire class. It isn't due in another couple of weeks but I really wanted to get it out of the way. I am trying to put more time and effort into my German, but I definitely do not enjoy the kind of homework we are being given and therefore it is hard to be consistent. We have a take-home exam coming up in 3 weeks tho, so I better stay focused! And for a final update: my thesis is slowly coming along, my supervisor has advised me to try and get a few hundred words down every day, so that at a later stage I will "only" need to organize and rearrange my writing to fit the final structure.
Next week here in Ireland is reading week, which means no classes, and lots of time to study and do any work that I've either neglected or not been able to get to yet.
