the horror is i am still working on my Master's degree for two and half yrs.... cheers to everyone who's working on their thesis 🙏🏼

I wanted to study History after completing my undergrads in English Literature because I wanted to understand the how, why, when, where and whats surrounding the thoughts and ideas that people have put out into the world for millennia. Having the opportunity to turn two hundred year old pages with my own hands and read about the cares and concerns of the people who wrote in them all that time ago with my own eyes was the unexpectedly glorious perk that came along with it. #history #archives #historicalarchive #historia #historicaldocuments #historygram #historicpreservation #historian #archive #archivalresearch #researcher #researchlife #research #graduateresearch #gradstudent #gradstudentlife #gradschool #studygram #documentation #olddocuments #oldbooks #historicalbooks #bookstgram #oldbooksmell #bookstagramuk #oldbook #bookstagrammer #librarybooks #library #librariesofinstagram (at National Maritime Museum, Greenwich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVi9wIvL_R9/?utm_medium=tumblr

And July

Unofficially started my Master's degree and there's so much to learn. Left the (in hindsight) comfort of the chemical world to explore the biological side of phosphorus cycling. Already questioning my decision but still hanging on. After all, it's just been a month.

비공식적으로 석사 과정 시작, 배워야 할 것들이 무척 많다. 학부생 때 화학적 실험 위주의 (이제보니) 편안한 삶을 살고 있었는데 이젠 생물학적으로 인의 순환에 대해 연구를 시작. 벌써 내 ���택에 대한 의구심이 생기지만 할만은 하다. 아직 한달 밖에 안됐는걸.

Didn't achieve much but still was a hectic month. Somehow still managed to read two books, watch five movies and finish "Stranger Things 3". Summer is flying by ✈

별로 한건 없는데 정신없이 지나간 한달. 그와중에 책 두권, 영화 5편, 그리고 "기묘한 이야기 시즌 3"를 읽고 봤다. 어느새 여름의 반이 지나갔다.
