25.01.2022 a little look at my day! i spent most of it in the library, alternating between writing my dissertation and researching my beowulf essay - i also had two palaeography classes in the afternoon! one practicing transcription and the other on types of early medieval library. now curled up in bed with a cup of tea & a ghibli film ready to keep at it tomorrow 😴

And I’m back! Sorry for being mia, but life happens, I guess. So... Denmark is in lockdown again over Christmas so for the entirety of December I’ve been having virtual classes, which sucks just as much as I remembered, but rather that then get corona. We have slowly but surely started to get ready for our SRP, which is the biggest assignment you have to Wright in high school in Denmark! I’m writing about mathematical logic and argumentation in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, so if anyone has any references to that, sont be scared to hit me up hahah. I’m reading Fahrenheit 451 for my materclass, and my sister has made me the cutest bookmark :’). Other wise I have been spending my quarantine knitting sweaters for my self and everyone else basically, and I’ve been chilling with this fella. (I asked him nicely for a photo and he pulled this pose. A goddamn model if you ask me)

I hope that everyone of you are staying safe during these hard times, and that you are getting some joy out of the holiday season 🥰

day 2/10 of productivity

cute lil snapshot of one of my fave parts of my bedroom (super hard to choose tho!)

kinda a wild day today. brought my car in to get an estimate on getting some stuff fixed, which'll be more than anticipated. my phone also has decided to not let the instacart shopped app work on data so i'm gonna be missing out on income, but i'll figure it out! i got to spend time with my best friend throughout the day and that really helped me deal with the stress

since working for the day was a wash, i cooked up dinner for myself and my roomie, am planning out my to do list for the next few days and watching the new birds of prey movie (waaaaay better than the first!!!)

currently reading: wax by gina damico

currently listening to: you're wrong about podcast

{image description: a photo of part of otto's bedroom. there is a small cork board with 5 post cards on it, including one featuring the title and logo of the podcast "alice isn't dead." there's a string of fairy lights down the left of the photo. below the cork board is a low cabinet. on top of it is a framed piece of paper, a lava lamp, a candle, a plate of crystals, a box of matches, a glass with used matches, a glass jar with dried flower buds in it, and a red glass jar with incense in it.}

27.01.2022 the first (and only) day off i'll be taking from dissertation work today! exhaustion really caught up with me while i was writing the beowulf essay this afternoon, so it turned out kinda rushed and messy... but at the end of the day that's all fine! the importance of these weekly essays lies more in the discussions with my supervisor than in the content of the essay itself, so i'm sure when the meeting happens tomorrow it will be very productive and enlightening

07.11.2021 a glimpse at some of the deco i've set up in my room this year! i have a lot of questions about the decision to put shelves on the corkboard, but i think i've made it work okay. this week's essay is on the development of writing in medieval iceland, which i've managed to sneakily turn into more about linguistics than palaeography... fingers crossed my prof is flexible with that one. at the very least it's a super interesting topic! wishing everyone a good week to come <3

10.03.2022 finally made it to the end of term! pictured are a page from an essay i wrote on viking age burials and some of the books i've been working with this term for my old norse paper. the last week of term is always the most hectic, but this morning i've been in a meeting about the modules we can take in our final year & had my last old norse lecture of the year (we don't get taught new content in the summer term - just exam preparation). that's all for today, so i can have a quiet afternoon! still left to go next week are some language classes, a library visit to get hands-on with medieval manuscripts (!!!), and the last lecture of the year on viking age sweden. time is really flying by at the moment!

01.11.2021 some glimpses of a cosy working morning - my (unfinished) plan for the palaeography essay i'm writing today & a view of the college chimneys and chapel tower in the sunlight (feat. an embroidery hoop i've stencilled but am yet to stitch). not too many tasks today; i have to finish this essay, attend an afternoon old english translation class, and draft the abstract of my dissertation for my supervisor to check over. the title has settled down as 'models of masculinity in the old norse skáldasögur', and i'm pretty excited to start writing it proper over the christmas break! wishing everyone a relaxed and happy start to november <3
