15.05.26 - Study session at the deutsches museum library

Love it here because its green, and quiet + good parking opportunities and i absolutely adore the deutsches museum shop. Could leave a ton of money there.

I booked one of the few study desks with recharge opportunity and enjoy the slight wind coming in from the isar river which flows right by.

October 2025

We have hit the definitive grind point of the semester. I've been surviving with the assistance of Pomodoro study with me videos... genuinely game changing.

This week has been almost exclusively reading Judith Butler and studying for a statistics exam. So, not my favorites. But it has been a nice reminder that I just enjoy the act of studying, so I am looking forward to when I can get back to focusing on my research.

#100DaysofProductivity — Day 13

another day, yet another mention of franny choi. i’ve come to realise that my work tends to center around two main poets and idk how to feel about that ? because i genuinely don’t know if it’s because i like them or it’s because i haven’t looked around enough to find new ones. idk if this makes sense (im just rambling here) but it’s definitely related to my impostor syndrome acting up :/ anyway
