About Today

The final day of my weekend was spent celebrating a dear friend’s birthday and topped off with a brilliant group Bob Ross paint session with my wife and our friends in the US. My painting is nothing like the original and I kind of love that.

Feeling very content and not quite ready to hit the work week tomorrow.

A brand new study corner full of sun lights✨

Dec 19 | a significant part of me working is just finding a spot of sun to sit in. the other part of me working is writing things down somewhere and promptly forgetting where they are

Productive sunday morning! Finally reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt, loving it so far. Also reviewed some basic French and I’m currently doing some research for a topic about the collusion between the State and organized crime and how it fuels the smuggling and trafficking of migrants in Mexico.

rainy morning. drousy end to an extremely unproductive week. still so much to do for my thesis, but so little time. hopefully better soon

Have u ever heard the tragedy of Darth Chemystery the confusing

Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° 

So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Good luck with your essays !!!

… oops just realised I forgot to bullet point one of the lists 

Happy Monday! Here’s a spread (ft. my desk space) I did with the free time I had last week with classes being nearly finished. Next week is my last week of school and I’m so very excited. I was also excited to use some beautiful artwork made by guuuay.studio in this spread! 💗✨

I was so fed up with school because it seemed like my best was not even enough. I gave it my all and I still received bad grades. It’s all good though, tomorrow is a new day and I will try again.

Two things I’m working on today: I am the head editor of a special edition of the Goldsmiths literature journal (GLITS), so I’m currently checking over peer review sheets and manuscript feedback from our board of editors. 

I am also writing questions for an event I’ve been putting together as part of Alternative Careers Week at Goldsmiths, which is a conversation about the challenges facing prospective academics between myself, Dhanveer Brar, Beth Guilding, Jake Hall, Akanksha Mehta and Roberto Mozzachiodi.

You can find the details of the event here: Is a Career in Academia Worth it?
