🎧: Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac (fun fact: I loved this song as a child but had no idea who sang it until today)

I'm alive!! I literally got into a slump and just died I guess my b

took two tests, read books and spent the rest of the day resting. my last exam is on next wednesday so i have almost a week to go over calculus! + started reading The elements of style just for fun

Stopped to think about my planner/journaling system on my morning walk. Feeling the strong urge to hop my way to my local bookstore to buy a pocket bullet journal...

He is going to write my thesis in Multimessenger Astronomy instead of me

D-15 27/10

today was honestly semi productive - i got half the things i wanted to do, done and i procrastinated so much. but at least i got something done, right?

a lot of whiteboard work today, for both bio and chem. i watched a few videos to recap myself on the topics! for maths, i did some exam questions and a mini test on algebraic methods, i feel somewhat confident now!!

hope you had a productive day today,

love aloe 💘

not naming names but some of you are genuinely really good people and i hope that you get everything your heart wants and needs

Moody morning. I'm tired and I'm not making progress with my to do list. I feel quite unproductive today and I just want to sleep. I hope I'll be able to take a nap later....

maths & german.

09.29.2024 — 일요일이에요. Lots to do today. Maybe I’ll reward myself with pasta later. We’ll see. Good luck this Sunday!

i had a presentation at a conference today and it went well 🖤

my article was accepted and i'll be working on a new one soon. teaching classes is going well. i'm pretty happy with it all but a training course i've been interested in is happening when i'm working so that's a bit unfortunately

the fall is in full swing and so this week i enjoyed a walk in a park with my fiancée ✨

| 5 november 2024 |

kinda a gloomy day, it started raining and we had a fire drill and I found out I forgot my umbrella at home.. I always have it in the side pocket but not today 😭

day 24/30: what's your least difficult subject?

reflections on my two weeks living in nyc again, feat. 192 books, a really cool bookstore i found in chelsea 💗 i'm still figuring out the trajectory of this blog but once i start work (tomorrow, eep!), this may just turn into a workblr or nyc "travel" tumblr??

Simplicity speaks volumes. A perfect corner for a little escape🍃🕯

reading Fernverhör again, this time aided by more post-its and theory.

Tuesday, the 5th of November 2024

There is this one person who wanders into my dreams and I wish they'd disappear as their presence makes me quite flustered and disturbs my nightly peace. Back in the city, I curse the mattress again and wonder why someone furnished the room like that. All that dissipates against the reality of having a 19 hours day today if I don't strand in the middle of nowhere around midnight. On the bright side my Slavic literature readings further my thoughts regarding my thesis and offer helpful theories and references for further research.

God, the day is not even halfway done and I could fall asleep right here and now, plagued by a little but stinging headache. There is construction work going on outside my office, and the unending shrillness of drilling and heavy machinery has pierced my every thought. I am thinking of escaping for an hour or two by going for a walk. Maybe the fresh air will wash away any tension.

An even longer day, who would've thought.

Fingers crossed, I'll be at home by 2 am.

11 pm - the first hurdle is a delayed train. with approx. 30 seconds for changing platforms let's gamble whether the second train waits.

11.30 pm - the train indeed waited but is therefore also delayed. i am already uneasy whether i will get the connecting train in the next city in an hour.

00.15 am - missed my connection but there is one last train at 1 am that takes me to the main station of my destination. from there it will be an hour by foot but i will try to rent a bike or scooter.

1 am - i was not prepared for the conductor to greet me with "good morning". sir, i haven't been asleep for 19 hours?

2.30 am - i struggled with the e-scooter. and then i shot through the night dressed like a blue marshmallow. thank god i had a hat and mittens because even so my hands were frozen to the scooter. the cold, the dark, and the cobblestone made it very hard and i took much longer than i should have but now i made it. i am home. what an odyssey. let's see if i can even sleep now that the scooter has shaken me up.

— completed a reading in contract law at a cafe with some hot chocolate ☕️ spent a good 3 hours there !
