some notes, iced coffee and my thoughts
9.23.24 | Making my desk more autumnal with a gourd from my garden bed and some flowers my mom and dad bought me :,)
I’ve been working SO HARD and it still feels like it’s not enough. I have a few bigger assignments this week, and then 3 exams next week.
I need more notebooks, more books and more hours in the day 🖊️ reblog is ok, don’t repost/use
12.11.2023—had a few slow study days to deal with my mental health. had some time to think through my analysis, so have some more clarity there. hopefully this week i can finish a second full first draft
i sold my couch and replaced it with a mattress. it feels like i just moved in, but also i love sitting on the floor and spreading out my stuff around me
I went to my favourite Portuguese cafe to plan out the next uni semester. Every academic year I yearn for the summer, and every summer I sit in excitement to start studying again lol ☕️
i haven't been posting on here because life has been pure chaos, but i'm finally settling into my new routine. it's starting to feel very autumnal in england right now, i'm so excited to delve into all of the spooky season reads!! 🍂
Unpopular opinion but I’m delighted that Paris is starting to look more like this -> 🍂☕️📚🕯️ and less like -> 🏅☀️👫🗣️
Very very excited about the new video coming up, I think it is going to be helpful to you guys as well. The premise of it is about redefining your journaling purpose and practice. I wrote a bunch of questions that can guide you with that. If you are struggling with your journals or with your 2025 system, this might help you. It will be up this week!
finished butter—thinking about hunger, cooking, being alone—so much swirling in me—read a bunch of papers on making borders—thinking about imagining spatial bounds of freedom—something is crashing together in my head, don't know what yet

the other day, i was at the flea market and picked up the most beautiful antique union machinist tool chest for an absolutely ridiculous price… like a good half of what i would’ve had to pay online, less still than what it would cost new, and in better condition/better quality make than both. i had to replace the felting and reattach the mirror, glue a couple joints back up or whatever, but i’m pretty ecstatic about it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
in other news…. i’ve been continuing my hbo war watch through—so far, i’ve gotten through band of brothers, the pacific, masters of the air (honorary addition, i know it’s not hbo), and i just finished generation kill….. favorite long fics would be much appreciated, if there are any fellow appreciators out there.

These gloomy days are ideal for getting lost in another world

Taking full advantage of my access to a standing desk. Reading while standing is so much better for my focus tbh.

I enjoy my home office so much it helps me get to work actually. I am forever picking through this outline and working on some signage for a volunteer gardening group.
latte, lemon tart, lazy days
of cafes and art - i clearly have an obsession with inking flowers
working on decorating my carrel
