Just repotted some succulents into a terrarium, have gone through a final check of my dissertation against the mark scheme, sent off the draft, and configured what I will do for my spiritual modality in my new Integral practice schedule.

On the menu for this weekend:

Design survey questionnaire for factor analysis (I’m doing a research study to determine why so few math students are using online tutoring at my institution)

Get approval from Institutional Research department to deploy my survey

Diddle around with Tableau (I want to build a faculty-facing data dashboard breaking down tutoring utilization at my institution)

Y’all, I think I’m doing it! I think I’m growing into a baby data scientist!

I feel like there’s an energy leech attached to me, sapping all my drive and motivation 😵 I’m sitting atm, so I’m out of my normal environment too...

But surely setting up for next month counts, right?

Today marks the first day of my MSc in Psychology at the University of Essex! So excited to get started - now if only moodle would update so I could read the unit outlines 😂

just got the email that my sophas app has been accepted by my school! now to wait 4-5 more weeks so the admissions committee can review my materials ^^;

i honestly think my statement of purpose was very weak so im hoping my past experiences and education make up for it

how does one even prep for possible admission? just sit there and quietly twiddle their thumbs? i suppose ill have more to do once they send me the admission packet

Reading Althusser and knowing... anything about Althusser makes me really skeptical of his contributions. Like, hmmmm, I wonder if a man who went on to kill his wife writing about how morality is ‘empty’ and ‘blank’ rings any red flags.

I feel like I’m behind already and the semester just started today. Hopefully, I’ll have a better outlook tomorrow.

🌲🌊🌞 My sister's birthday mini-break has finished, and it's time for me to lock back in to the preparatory studies for my M.A.

🖊️🌿The first couple of pages of notes on "Frames of reference: Psychotherapy, art and art therapy" (Edwards, 2004)🌿🖊️

I never read Maus. In our 12th grade curriculum it was Night. And I was the only Jew in my section. Eyes would pass over me when passages were read. And I think it was the first time these Midwest kids glimpsed the reality that the numbers they learned about in history across the hall, were human beings like the girl sitting three seats down.

That is why we tell these stories. You are not meant to like it. You are meant to learn from it.

The front page of my integral practice journal, some meditative artwork I have been making around Assagioli’s conception of the Syzygy, and the notebook my very handsome girlfriend got me for my birthday. :)

Since I found out my grad program DOESN’T start today (they misprinted an updatedstart date — it actually begins the 25th), I unexpectedly have a little more time to enjoy myself before dipping into the full grad-grind!

I have been spending some of my leisure time tending to numerous plants, including my new (and growing) propagation station, as featured above! Currently, I’m trying to establish 3 buddies. From left to right are mint (already planted), ??? (Truly, I’ve no idea what the buddy living in the syrup bottle is), Zamioculcas zamiifolia (“ZZ”), and... a green onion!

Delightfully, the green onion is already growing new roots. The ZZ I’m less sure of. In general, I don’t know how well ZZs take to water propagation, but so far it’s leaves are still supple. As for the ??? plant, it has been hanging in water for weeks without rooting! Even so, it also remains pretty supple. So I guess we’ll just see how it goes, huh?

Unfortunately, most of the extra time will be devoted to the work-grind instead. The following are on this week’s menu of To-Dos:

Finalize and publish the Spring tutoring schedule

Co-write the conclusion/analysis for a small research paper (So excited!!)

Finish developing “Welcome Back!” assignments

As much as I’m enjoying a break, COVID has me stir-crazy and I’m really looking forward to getting started on the next steps of my future career! As such, I cannot wait until I can get started with my program. By then, I should have more relevant and interesting content to share.

Here’s your reminder to sip some water and stretch your body 💌

Slowly getting used to using my iPad to take digital notes! Hate how much it heats up though, looking forward to trading this one in for the new one next month 💛
