i'm so happy i made friends in my department :) academia is really lonely so i tried to socialize more and... apparently, if you accept invitations to lunch and/or beers, you end up having friends.

my lectures and seminars are almost done and soon i'll start writing my dissertation. i'm so scared/excited!!

Day 4 of 7-Days of Challenge

It's not really going as I planned. I got kinda sick. Happens regularly. Painful and need too much rest right now.

I might fall asleep in a minute.

I just didn't want to miss my challenge.

Additionally, I prepared a cute reel on instagram for today. It was published, you can go and check it @schlrlyvbs

Xoxo,

Eve

Some snippets of recent study sessions 🥹 Rearranged my desk a little today to switch up my study environment and motivate myself! After the typhoon vacations last week I’ve been in a bit of a productivity slump🥲🫶🏻🤍✨

Today I spent a few hours in the library and made some notes for my thesis defense. They sent me an email this morning and told me to go do it on Monday, so I'm feeling kind of nervous. A friend has told me she wants to listen to me practice tomorrow and that she will try her best to ask mean questions to prepare me (my kind of friend).

I think I haven't said this before, but my thesis is on contemporary theatre, which is what I'm most interested in pursuing when I think about a career in academia.

On another note, I spent the whole morning listening to Chopin and I really like it :). I figured getting into classical music one musician at a time would be easier.

Tomorrow the application period for masters programs is also starting, which I'm not chill about at all. It will be tomorrow when I know if the program I'm interested in has any space for me to enroll. Anyway, I sort of manifested it too hard this past month for it to be any other way, right? ...right?

Pen to paper, ideas flowing- nothing beats the focus of a good study session

Some late night studying for a change, typically my brain doesn’t work that late ^^

I am keeping some flowers I was gifted at my desk for motivation and I am feeling very grateful <3

i really dont understand how you can grow up your whole life hearing stories about holocaust survivors and maps of giant family trees of hundreds of people where only 2 or 3 survived or families that were separated and had to leave people behind to die and not empathize with palestinians and instead have the complete opposite reaction and say none of this is happening and that its not a genocide... i fucking hate the world so much
