Wtf even are hormones??? Why am I experiencing pain and blood yet feel so much more like doing things, I just sat down and wrote an email, researched the fact that artichokes are related to thistles, started thinking about doing my Queen's Guide award and found a new favourite song, life feels so good and full of possibilities! Yet I also want to curl up in a ball and eat chocolate biscuits. And my last 2 cycles were 37 and 13 days long? Like pick a side? Is this normal? I'll probably take a minute to worry about it then not be bothered to do anything lol

Today I had someone ask me to get tested for autism because of the frog that lives in my frog purse, I only took him out to meet the origami frog I was folding, anyway thanks Elliott for your concern but I think that's pretty normal lol

Musical thoughts of the week:

Feel like some charming Scottish twee pop? I've been loving Camera Obscura's latest album and will give extended reviews on request!

Fave track: Baby Huey: Hard Times

I just found out Magdalena Bay are in a relationship?? That's so fucking cute?? I love it so much when I find out about band romances! Giving me the wish to write band romance au fics but I haven't written a thing for years so idk if you wanna read that

Fave track: That's My Floor

My neighbours maybe do not like vocaloid or Perfume as much as I do but I think I'm about to go through another childish phase and use them to wake me up every morning...

Fave track: Perfume by Perfume, Music Like Magic by OSTER Project

City Girl released a new proper song!! It's adorable and I'm still forever grateful for all their lo-fi that I have downloaded for studying.

Fave track: Daydreaming

No pressure for anyone to listen just enjoying putting my thoughts out there! Feeling a bit fatigued by other social media so this was refreshing! Love you all and have a great week!

"homesickness should resolve in 6-8 weeks" yeah right it's my 2nd year and I'm still waking up lonely and missing the bedroom I haven't had since 2015, is it creepy to watch the windows of the block opposite and imagine the people there choosing their little outfits and eating their little breakfasts?

Adding to the list of Campus Buildings I Have Cried In today, at this point I need a map for posterity

Someone tell me why this is one week's worth of FLIPPING BOTTLES, I can't stand them but it's time to do another sheet of 15

Alright you all have to stop being funny I am on the train next to a really nice, smart, important university person and I am STRUGGLING to not laugh at stupid posts, the fact I should not be giggling is making it HARDER, maybe I should go scroll news instead :'(

I highly recommend clubbing with earplugs, I was out for over 2 hours and my ears don't ring one bit! I was nowhere near as overwhelmed as usual! Also when a guy tried to ask me something I was just like "I can't hear you I have earplugs" and ran away teehee

I finally finished unpacking!! Only 3 weeks after I returned from the trip!!

Day 5- Hamburg! Today I had a boat trip and went to a tea shop, and wandered around the old town!

Day 4- Hamburg!

Yesterday was a travel day and our train got delayed so I didn't end up posting, but I finished up Amsterdam with some window shopping and a visit to the Mouse Mansion, which is a shop full of mouse-sized miniatures, very cute! Today I visited the Planten und Blomen park, explored some historic streets and St Michael's church, and headed to Hamburg's warehouse district. There, I visited a spice museum and headed to the viewing platform of the Elbphilharmonie building, lovely views over the harbour and super exciting as I had to learn facts about it for my exams last year! I finished the day back in the park, watching a musical fountain light show, completely free and very lovely!

Day 3- Amsterdam!! I am loving all the bikes and chilled out atmosphere, this evening I went for a walk in Vondelpark which is full of people just chilling, it's lovely! Today I went to the Stedelijk to enjoy some modern art and the Van Gogh museum! I got no good photos again so, like, trust me when I say the Stedelijk had excellent curation and the Van Gogh was absolutely mobbed with people snapping pictures on phones. Also my breakfast! It was very yummy!!

Day 2- Amsterdam! Super busy museum day, the Rijksmuseum is huge! Highlights were Rembrandt, weird medieval babies and Van Gogh, the café food was great too but I ate it too fast to snap! In the afternoon we walked across town to Micropia, Europe's only microbe museum. I got to view live tiny critters on microscopes, collect microbe stamps and learn all about how they make our world work. I bought a tardigrade keychain in the gift shop! Last full day tomorrow, I'm hoping for modern art, stroopwafels and maybe some shopping. Loving the city, I don't want to leave already!

Holiday blogging! I've arrived in Amsterdam, super exciting!! We arrived about 8pm, grabbed pasta at the airport and headed for the hotel. Up early tomorrow for the Rijksmuseum, can't wait!

I'm not great at aesthetic travel pics but here's my landing view, daily sketch and crochet travel buddy!

Why did nobody tell me about vacuum sealing storage bags? Pen for scale, this bag contains a double winter duvet, two pillows and a pillow protector. This is insane I love it!!!

The thing about summer jobs is they make you appreciate your termtime life, I love not being covered in gravy and never needing to sanitise a high chair. Anyway only reason I haven't quit is I want to buy more sewing supplies and fairy kei outfits
