Almost a year's break.

A lot happened in life. Routines changed, habits fell out of place, said goodbyes to some places, some people and will move forward to some new ones.

Cheers to my upcoming journey🥂

So not ready for this semester. My French class is going to be hell— I haven’t spoken French in a month and I’ve forgotten everything. Already feeling stressed and I haven’t even finished organizing my syllabi and setting up my notion.

master thesis adventures #??? (i fully lost count)

You know things are getting serious when you have to get the board™ out to make sense of your notes notes. I am creating the ultimate notes inception. The goal for the rest of the week is to finish rereading the original notes, make sense of all the information, create a general idea of the thesis structure and finally email my advisor. Will I accomplish this? Who knows.

Took a walk in the morning and then for some reason my brother trusted me to give him a haircut. It was just a trim and it looks good but I was in fake it till you make it mode the whole time. I then got to cuddle the dog so everything was fine.

master thesis adventures #14

Today I got a reply from my thesis supervisor, and she was very happy with my work so far. She was very encourging and we are starting to form more concrete ideas on the structure of the thesis. We are thinking about working on more primary sources with the goal of analizing the language and rethoric chosen by Europeans to describe the natives. To then expland on the themes of how this rethoric served as a justification of colonization. I have a bunch of sources ready to be read and I am very excited. I love this kind of research work right on the primary sources.

At the moment I was working on writing down some notes on what I have read so far of Todorov's Conquest of America, which I have not finished reading yet. The goal is to finish writing those notes tomorrow morning, and then plan my next tasks. I want to find a balance to finish reading this book, but also actually start working on primary sources asap. Overall I am very excited about all of this and I feel super motivated. I think the main thing right now is for me to find a good routine to research without burning myself out, and while still allowing myself to do other things. I know it will take me some time to create such a routine but one step at the time and I should find the right balance to do everthing.

6.3.2026 - 2/100 days of productivity

Day 2 is underway! I do have a fitness class and a birthday party to get to today, but am still aiming to get one full assignment done. Tomorrow I’m spending a full day in the lab so would really love to get this one out of the way!

Yesterday was a good start to this challenge, I managed to do everything I meant to. Hope this continues 🤞

struggling to be productive today ugh

my goal for this afternoon is to finish my crime mapping readings and the discussion post. i also need to plan out a paper proposal to send to this prof in my department but i cannot for the life of me remember what we talked about for it lol

also i'm now a 2nd year phd student! i do not envy the incoming first years in the slightest; this past academic year has genuinely been hell on earth

it's the start of a new month! life has been in flux recently, but it's all good things. I landed that job I really wanted (!!!) and now I'm settling into a new routine. I have so much to learn, but I'm excited about it and I'm feeling good about the team I'm on. this job also involves less timezone shenanigans, so I actually have time to study or work on projects in the morning again! my brain works best in the morning so I'm really happy about this.

I'm participating in the june days of productivity challenge (post with my goals coming soon) but mostly I want to focus on getting back to the basics and building a good routine this month. my 3 big priorities are 1) reading 2) running + practicing yoga and 3) getting back into reading Malware Data Science, which I started months ago oops

progress towards my goals today:

I spent an hour or so reading Malware Data Science

highlights today:

my partner & I hung out in the international district in the evening! I bought a few stationery items & I got a red bean paste bun from a bakery there <3

I continued my replay of persona 5 & finished the 5th palace!

today was kind of not productive. idk it's been a weird week. sorry for posting so sporadically. tomorrow i need to email the prof overseeing my summer study to ask her to move the deadlines we set bc i cannot work to them for some reason.

anyway!! today i read about neuroscience for my dissertation and it's honestly boring. i miss history

I don't know if y'all relate to this but every time I pass a really difficult end of term exam I feel like I don't want to study for a month. Probably burnout but I need to get back on track asap. Does anyone have any advice?
