me: i love the planet. i am the Lorax. i speak for the trees. also me, currently studying environmental law: i hope the trees sue me personally and win. i’ll represent them in court just to stop reading these godforsaken ACTS.

i thought studying environmental law would be beautiful. i thought i'd learn about the planet and policy and maybe cry over a glacier or two. i thought i'd be empowered. inspired. glowing with the righteous fire of climate justice.

instead i have developed a personal vendetta against the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. section 3 has been haunting my dreams. i saw a tree today and flinched.

i do not study anymore. i hover above my body like a sad academic ghost while she re-reads the Air Act for the fifth time and highlights random phrases out of spite. i can’t feel feelings anymore. just clauses. sub-clauses. definitions. explanations. footnotes. yesterday i accidentally said “biological diversity” instead of “hello.”

i haven’t eaten a vegetable in four days and i’m studying environmental law. the irony tastes like instant coffee and regret.

you want to know how i’m doing? i named my Bare Acts. the EPA is called “Evil Papa Act.” the Water Act is “Tears, Unfiltered.” the Forest Conservation Act is just "Steve." Steve betrayed me. Repeatedly.

i tried to take a break and meditate. i lasted 30 seconds before the phrase “National Biodiversity Authority” floated into my brain and i screamed.

last night i cried for 12 straight minutes not because i was stressed, but because i read Schedule I and realized i, too, am endangered.

i have started bargaining with the universe. “please,” i whispered into the void at 3:17 am, “if you let me survive this exam, i will plant so many trees. i will singlehandedly offset my entire carbon footprint. i will never use a plastic straw again. just please let me remember Rule 5 of the Hazardous Waste Management Rules.”

and the void said nothing. because the void is also studying environmental law.

if i don’t survive this, tell my story. tell them i tried. tell them i fell fighting for the trees, even though i absolutely hated every single word i had to read about them.

Manicule thumb war?

So many manicules! These little drawn hands are a favorite annotation that points to something of note in the text. We found a bunch in this 1531 copy of Christopher Saint Germain’s The Secunde Dyalogue in Englyssh bytwene a Doctour of Dyvynytye (divinity) and a Student in the Lawes of England.

What we really want to know is what do you think is happening in the second image? A thumb war? Or just a handshake?

Thanks to Peter Boghossian for advertising my work! How kind of him. He even seems to imply that he wish he’d written it.🥰

studied at a cafe for the first time and,,, i actually kinda loved it? it was great to push myself to study in an environment that has noise. i always find it super hard to focus, so it was nice to see that it wasn’t impossible

Taking breaks is also being productive

Studying constantly only leads to burnout. Go take a walk. Feed some ducks. Admire a pretty building. Try to cook something new.

You might feel guilty at first, but nothing in excess is ever good, not even studying.

Dont forget to live life

Spines galore this week! Here are some highlights from our collection of Roman and Canon law. We love looking for repurposed manuscript pieces and these swirly hand-drawn flowers!

today was great! i’ve recently started practicing yoga in the mornings, and i’m loving it so much. other than yoga, i make sure to do physical activity during the day, and today it was walking.

after that, i spent the afternoon planning my upcoming academic year and the rest of my plan & goals for the remainder of this summer.

🌟 i’m using an excel sheet to track my performance in each course i’m studying. basically, it helps me determine which topics i’m confident with and which topics i’m struggling with, so i know what topics to study and work on everyday (start with the weakest topic).
