Spring resolutions for 2020

because though I love winter very much, the season of awakening is better suited for thinking on goals:

get a scholarship and\or grant funding for my PhD;

publish 1-2 articles and attend some conference (if no longer pandemic status);

get in touch with so more often;

get in touch with friends and mom more often!

look for my health, body and mind - better eating habits, exercise more, set up reminders to rest and eat and rest;

spend more time on my hobbies - research, reading and crafts (baking, crochet & cross-stitch);

use the most of the quarantine time with Coursera free of charge, also learn Finnish, don’t stop working on English skills, and finish math program for data science & statistics program for social science;

take all the opportunities in university to work on more projects and connections;

strive for better relationships with supervisors and people in uni and enlarge my circle of connections there.

I never really liked New Years Resolutions. That’s usually the point in the year when I’m feeling the most down and tired and overworked. There isn’t enough sunlight in the day. It’s not really a time that I associate with hope and change. I loved winter when I was younger and I still like things about it now, but now I don’t have the same freedom to go outside and play and have fun in the snow.

So here’s a proposal: Spring Resolutions. Spring represents rebirth and vitality. Plants are sprouting, days are getting warmer and brighter. Take that into yourself and build your goals from there. Instead of making goals at a time in which you feel really obligated to create goals for yourself, as is the case with New Years, create goals for yourself at a time in which you have hope and know you yourself can achieve meaningful change.

Books and Films for Spring/Summer 2011

Students tend to read a lot: essays, science books, articles, review lectures... but we hardly ever find time - or at least I never find the time to read the books I like. would even say that I am in the middle of a novel-reading crisis: My book list gets longer and longer and somehow I never start reading. I hope that with summer and lying on the beach and in the park I'll hopefully finally find time to catch up.

There are also many movies I'd love to watch, but the dvd rental around the corner seems to only have mainstream Hollywood movies and I am too lazy to find out where I can get these films. Anyway I thought I'll share my movie and book list with you. If you have other suggestions please leave a comment!
