i had missed calls on my work phone from a private number at 1.12 am 1.15 am and 7.30 am. and the HR emails me later this morning saying 'ummm our [medical/disability support company] said you haven't answer their calls to complete your assessment'

well yeah I was fast asleep and I'm on a late shift today... why are you calling me at 1 am

[smilestudy]

i'm working late, because i'm a master's student

a girl i knew in elementary school popped up on my explore page on instagram and it looks like she now lives and works in London. Sighhh I guess I'm not so unique for also moving abroad and ditching arizona haha

i sent her a message just saying it was cool to see others experience life outside arizona but i have no idea if she remembers me. we shall see if she responds

Revising for my quantum computing module which I am very behind on. Luckily, I only have three exams this year. I've gone home for the holiday, and it's so nice to be able to enjoy my mother's cooking while preparing for exams. However, I will have to go back to uni early to finish off and submit my thesis.

a very kind man in line paid for a woman's purchase who's card wasn't working and couldn't speak much english to explain what she needed. did that good deed lighten anyone's mood? absolutely not. miserable place honestly

why is the post office like the worst place ever after the dmv??? god forbid i use the post office to post something. i feel like a criminal walking in there. just guilty of the crime of existing.

While looking through my 2023 journal I stumbled upon this cute little page of what I wanted for April 2024. The best thing about journaling is reading back over everything when you are an older and wiser version of yourself 🤍

i never post on here anymore but just wanted to say i start my new job tomorrow (more money, nobody reporting to me so i'm basically the boss..., more independence, lots of room for creativity) after the last job that i thought was a dream job ended in a shit show. so things get better!!! i'm very excited and ready to move up into more project development roles 🫶

My Baudelaire presentation + essay are finally submitted! I’m basically done with this evening diploma in French and honestly… it’s a relief. Consistency really pays off, even when the end doesn’t seem in sight ⭐️

whereabouts of february 10, 2024 📰

i’ve picked up the study techniques of time-blocking (setting aside time for one task) and the 5-minute rule (committing to 5 minutes of studying, which helps build momentum when starting feelings intimidating). lovely strategies!

the sky was clear for the first time in weeks <3 it was a great day. i got coffee, bought some cosmetics, did some pilates yoga, and had fun social time.

March 20, 2024 - Friday  | Ramadan Challenge 10/30

Pictured: Migraine essentials and early blooms of the season. Alhamdulillah feeling better by the time of this post!

Taraweeh Tip: If you’re at the masjid, follow along with the recitation in your mus-haf. If you’re not sure where they’re up to, ask someone! If you’re praying at home, read from your qur’an! It’s not an obligatory prayer so you’re allowed to hold up your mushaf and read from there. Doing that instead of just speeding thru rakats with the same few juz amma surahs you usually read will make such a big difference trust me. Ofc this is advice to myself first and foremost 🌱
