This week was a large bout of ups and downs. I had to hand in both a paper and a midterm this week and that paper was beating my ass so it was super stressful for me. As much as I'd vowed to finish both the paper and the midterm the week before, I didn't manage to do it. The paper because it was too hard and the midterm because we still had a question round on Tuesday so it would've been stupid of me to hand it in earlier. However, upon second review of the texts and layout, I managed to write a paper that I was satisfied with. Putting it down for once, had been the right decision. Oh, and I forgot to mention this initially, but I did end up getting 2/2 marks for this paper!!
I did sort of okay for the first few days but my brain was still not fully focussed because of how much stress I was receiving so I ended up faling behind quite far throughout the week. i'm going to have to catch up with some ethics notes the next week sadly, but since i have no papers or midterms I think it'll be fine.
I did make a friend, I think. A girl from class who I've talked to a few times now, said she'd be willing to show me around the city and talk about our philosophy of science papers together, mainly because we are also in the same master thesis group. I felt really happy when she suggested it because I'd been too scared to ask her.
I also started talking to the lovely @kissmekook this week. I mean we'd talked before but, now we're like talking talking. She's so nice and we kind of bonded over our love for reading/writing, angst and dark themes, and our just absolutely wild brains. You guys should go give her a follow. My heart to heart with my sweet beta @guksweet (that's an unintended pun) was also really good, it's nice to have a place to vent where you won't be judged. You guys should follow her too.
I also did a lot of thinking about Fool's Gold again this week. I'm stressed about some parts of it, which I think i expressed. There's dark topics and I just don't want to end up romanticising it, but I also have to realise that if some people see it in a romantic way even though I didn't explicitly write it as such. I hope that you guys will appreciate the series. I can now officially say it will be 20 chapters long and will have over 250k words.
Overall, this week was not too bad, but it had a lot of ups and downs.
Week Rating: 3/5
Something I learned: Just because someone sees something romantically doesn't mean you are romanticising it. The experience of reading something is always the sum of what you wrote and a person's perceptions and habits.
