Good music, freshly roasted coffee, and a cat-warmed lap—encouragements for the senses to fight a bit of the gray blue haze outside. Reading has been coming along smoothly so far this month. I finished Acts of Desperation a couple of days ago. I liked it, which surprised me after what I've heard about it. I'm currently halfway through Murakami's The City and Its Uncertain Walls, which I'm reading with a friend. They put it so well when they said that it's such a comfort to be in Murakami's world. It's such a specific feeling. I'm making slow progress with it because I've been stopping constantly to write my thoughts on the margins, but that's how I know I'm having a great time. There has never been any need to rush, after all.

15.11 ~ Café +Studying

Currently on study leave, so I decided to change my study environment and go to a café/bar to continue studying. Manged to get some work done and it was nice to study somewhere new :)

[prendredesnotes]

Our local library is like a small part of paradise 💘💘💘

[prendredesnotes]

I WANT TO READ ALL THE BOOKS, STUDY ALL THE LANGUAGES, ADMIRE ALL THE ART... BUT I AM JUST SO TIRED!!!

[prendredesnotes]

I am not sure if I post this as a simple video where you only see me plan for the week, or if I wait a little longer and try to film a more cohesive segment to add to this.

Let me know which one you would prefer…

spent the day packing, reading, and sipping on coffee❣️

[prendredesnotes]

Last month's reads and book mail! I got the new Murakami the other day. It's my first sprayed edge! I was just talking with a friend about how common they are nowadays. I'm mostly indifferent to it, but it's a nice touch for sure. Anyway, the kotatsu blanket is back on so that's where I'll be, spending the rest of the Sunday sunlight reading this manga adaptation of several of Kafka’s works. A pleasant new week to you! 🌞

good morning!

November 26th, 2024 | I finally have a desk at my new place! It's been over a month, but I realised early on that I have too damn much stuff. And also, no motivation to work or routine or self discipline whatsoever. ✨

24.11.24 || slow morning

It's hard to motivate myself to study today. I'm trying to bribe myself with coffee and videos on colour theory (something I'd rather be studying than my criminal law flashcards). I only have one month left to study and it's taking a toll on my nerves.

To Do:

Administrative tasks

Criminal law flashcards

Write

All the best

Some quiet days :)

That desk + classics shelf + first snow combo

early autumn mornings are a whole vibe. people bundled up in their coats and scarves, walking their dogs or getting their coffee, empty libraries and beautiful colors, my favorite time of the day🤍
