the chaos on my desk mirrors the chaos in my writing doc

Sunday, the 21st of December 2025

I'm telling myself through gritted teeth that it'll all get better. I just have to finish that first draft.

finishing up my shakespeare final with a “study with me” video in the background :)

it's okay if the things i look forward to each weekend can be something as mundane as changing my bedsheets. i really love the feeling of clean sheets and it's even more gratifying knowing that my sensitive skin thanks me for it. 🥰

🪨 Weekend Habits:

morning routine x2 ✅✅

change bedsheets ✅

all the laundry ✅

physio exercises x2 ✅

skincare x2 ✅✅

night routine x2 ✅✅

wind down for 30 mins before sleeping with the light on (e.g. spacing out/meditate/journal/yoga/dealing with the things that distracted me while studying) x2 ✅✅

water meter:

🎒 The laundry list of school stuff I want to finish this week 😭:

finish psyc ch 3/4 ✅

finish psyc ch 4/4 ✅

psyc lab ✅

finish phar M6 sec 4/5 ✅

finish phar M6 sec 5/5 ✅

start reviewing for psyc final ✅

so i finally tallied up the pages of notes i have to reread for each subject and i have what feels like an insane amount of work this coming week (and possibly also the week after?), so i'll be signing out of tumblr and probably won't be back until things get less stressful... hopefully things get less stressful soon bc as i'm writing this, i'm trying so hard to stay calm. 😣 it will get better. by the time i come back, i will be better and school will be over. 😤 much love and take care, especially if you're nearing the end of term! 💗🫂 it will be okay.

Frantic writing, cramps in my hand, and endless arguments with myself over causalities, dates and systems of belief. Within a day I have written about thirtyfive pages about radicals in early modern Europe in preparation for my exam and now that it is over I feel elated to have done it as well as disappointed that I did not have the opportunity to argue more. It is one more thing crossed off my list. Now I can focus on my next presentation in Czech, finishing up my thesis and catching up on my Russian lectures that I have been neglecting for a while now. Although today, I am simply relieved and anxious for my grade.

It is a meh kind of day. Shower, breakfast, taking a walk with the dog. Low energy and motivation I will ignore by concentrating on my work. Maybe it is the right day for an afternoon nap.

I made the mistake of reading too many news articles and critical pieces last night that by two o'clock in the morning I could swear I was buzzing with fear. Then I launched my phone into the corner, took a deep breath and reminded myself: awareness isn't activism. Refusing to let myself be consumed by dread, I went to sleep. Today I want to get as much of my statistics done as possible and that is simply a question of time. So let the marathon begin.

On the road again, after a very brief visit to a friend. Within less than a day, we went to a historical exhibition on the sea, experimented in her pottery studio and talked lots and lots. We talked over pasta and wine, tiredly curled up on the couch, hanging laundry, walking and over an ethereal breakfast of fresh bread rolls, grapefruit and roasted oats. Today will pass by my train window and all I can think of is my cosy room waiting for me in the city.

A couple of hours reading and working outside until the wind got so harsh that it gave me a headache. I adore this park and vow to spend many autumn mornings taking a stroll around the lakes.
