8 / 100 days of productivity

this day started with a flop, where I found out we don't have the "Technology of painting" class today, the one i was looking for, and that it's actually gonna be moved to Wednesdays so I won't be able to attend. I signed out of it and signed into a "Chapters from Czech and Czechoslovakian history" class though, because I felt really lost in the general knowledge of things. also had an unplanned study session with Moss and its classmate, was in the school's study room for the first time and signed up into two libraries, the university's one and the city one. also my roommate arrived and she's cool with my pride flags and in general :)

photos:

1) photo from the study date with Moss, I can't wait to finish the shorter version of a shorter version of my final exam notes so I can do notes from other books

2 and 3) interesting books from the study room's bookshelves

4) diary writing setup

The circus arrives without warning.

No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

sorry for being MIA. i moved across the country and started my phd program so its been a bit chaotic, but in the best way possible. i haven't been reading for leisure as much but i did read The Couple Next Door for a book club I joined. still working through Spare and The Count of Monte Cristo. this will be an interesting reading period for me to say the least!

what's everyone else been up to?

My bookshelf looks so good but I don't have book 2 🫠

the only kind of mess I really like is an unfettered with pile of books. I don’t know why it is so satisfying to see all these mismatched shapes and shades of pages arbitrarily put together but it just is—a pleasing architecture of daydreams and stories to wander in

i devoured ‘the secret garden’ in record time today; it is so charmingly written. been having a bit of writer’s block lately, and i really hope i get over it soon, because it’s actually so frustrating to have a plan and know what i want to write but not have the right words for it.

today i woke up to the perfect amount of rain; the kind you wouldn’t mind walking in. there’s been a drought where i live for so long i don’t remember when it started. i spent the whole day sitting by the open window, listening to the rain and reading Quiet. 哦，雨，请快点回来。(*°ｰ°)ﾉ

going home tomorrow but luckily my parents won't be there, only my grandma. today was weird, I was very exhausted and I'm not sure why, it took me until 2pm to feel awake and alive and myself. weird

if we are strong enough in our souls, we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. then spit us out reborn.

@studywitharmy's #TwoWeekStudyChallenge 4/14

day 4: how can you improve on taking care of your mental health?

I think I just need to make more time for it! usually when I find a time where I'm not going anything I think "yay, 20 more minutes I can practice!" and then I end up missing my lunch or forgetting to brush my teeth or something 😂 so I need to make time for self care and also take breaks! basic hygiene should not be this difficult ahdkflf ✋

————————————————————————————

also this is a little spread I made bc after reading Marie Kondo's book I had a lot of ideas I wanted to write down! when I have more to add from other things I'll complete the page!

and I've practiced for an hour so far!!
