~ Thesis daily #3

I spent most of the morning editing the first chapter of my thesis, then the afternoon continued reading the same book as yesterday. Did some foraging in the woods around my parents’ place and look what I found! It feels almost like autumn 🍂

I am back ~ Thesis daily #1

So long story short, I really needed to get away from Tumblr, it was draining me, i was in a rather bad place, but i feel way better and way more positive -most importantly about my thesis- so i decided to do daily studyblr posts again to hold myself accountable for the thesis work i have to do! Wish me luck ✨

And remember to always put yourself first and not your research paper, grades or dissertation. Do not be afraid to call for help and although I know very well how terrifying teachers can be, most are nice and willing to help you. ✨

It’s been a long time tumblr ✨

I guess i was in my own dark academia (read it as a comment on how university and academic life doesn’t help my mental health) but i kinda can see the light at the end of the tunnel that is thesis writing, so i will be attempting the 100 days of Productivity again to have some kind of daily motivation to do that bit of work that will make it less overwhelming in the end. Also 100 days is roughly when my thesis should be finished and corrected. Wish me luck!

Some shots from yesterday’s knitting and today’s thesis writing and painting. Is this thesis worth the toll it’s taking on my mental health? I wonder... I just want it to be finished, once and for all.

As interesting as research and academia is, social and peer pressure, general snobism and disregard for the mental well being of students are issues that we should more talk about. I should not have shaking hands and my heart beating faster than when i do cardio because I made a simple typo in an email to my supervisor or because I imagine he might think I did not work correctly. Masters and Doctorate level studies and research should not be a source of distress, and there is nothin aesthetic to that.

Thesis Writing Month Day 4

Reading for the thesis, being generally not confident.

At least i had my translation workshop.

Thesis Writing Month Day 2

Sorry for the lateness I had not noticed my post had remained in the drafts yesterday... as you can see i spent most of the day in the library, doing research!

~ Thesis daily #2

Today I spent most of the day doing chores and then traveling by train so I didn’t take too many pictures. The few hours of train were put to good use: i almost finished the sociology/philosophy/linguistics book I am re-reading -and i wanted to reread it again before starting the heavy editing of the first chapter of my thesis since i do quote this book a lot on the link between linguistics and ideology. Bonus pretty flower from my garden 🌸

✨and you, stay strong✨

Writing down new arguments and starting a book on National Identities: a good start for this week. Tomorrow I will spend the whole day at university between the library and my theatre course ❤️
