3 weeks ago i submitted my thesis through the incredibly underwhelming click of a button. last week i picked up my bound copy and now it finally feels like i have completed my masters ⌛️

if there’s one thing about me is that i absolutely hate presentations!! this presentation is meant to be a condensed literature review with further thinking but i honestly have no idea how i’m meant to do that 🗯

anyway i love making my own iced coffee and study snacks; and working where my boyfriend keeps his bass collection.

i would like to go back to bed though 🛌

sooo excited to delve into louise glück’s “october” and ecofeminism for my final essay of the year! i have completely fallen in love with her poetry over the last month. please excuse my awful sticky notes writing 🤦‍♀️

before this essay is due i have a presentation on my dissertation to complete after the easter holidays. presentations make me incredibly anxious but at least i get to do it over microsoft teams so that should help ease things a bit (?)

at this point i just want everything to be over and done with. i am very tired 🥀

ever since i had covid in february my ability to get out of bed before 10 am has dwindled significantly. everything is just so exhausting.

today i managed to be out of bed before 8:30 and i am quite proud of myself 😌 it’s crunch time for many of us as we near the end of the semester so i decided to attempt to get my shit together for my literature review meeting later this week.

i’ve been delving into a taste for brown sugar: black women in pornography my mireille miller-young, an author i touched on for my research essay during my undergrad.

hope everyone is having a good week 💝

hard to believe this is my first post since 2020! on tuesday i have my first lecture in my masters in women’s studies so today i decided to get a head start on readings 📚 my brain felt so fried after a few hours but i’m trying to remain positive and not slip back into my old smoking & coffee habits too much.

we had a welcome day on campus yesterday and it felt so good to be back for a day before returning to online lectures. i was quite anxious about it but it went so well and everyone in my course seems so lovely 🧡

(coffee + cherry pie is very dale cooper of me)

finally getting into this after owning it for 4 years! my second donna tartt novel and i am obsessed.

she was insane for writing the secret history but the is a whole other level of genius.

my masters course has mostly come to an end. just one more essay and a summer of writing my dissertation to go 📝

it’s iced coffee season at last!

this week has been hectic to say the least. the sun has kept me going as i’ve used sitting outside for hours as reward for getting things done ☀️ but imposter syndrome and burn out is beginning to set in.

i have a job trial this friday which i hope to be successful in as i’ve been stone cold broke for months now (student debt has not helped). yet i’m worried it will quicken my burn out as my anxiety peaks. guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens 🙇‍♀️
