Pictures from a busy weekend in Paris: lots of hot drinks, studying a bit harder than usual, and being pleasantly surprised to see Lithuania mentioned in the metro

wow, it's been a hot sec since I've posted anything here. life has been busy! work has been a lot recently, and I think I managed to tire myself out by trying to do too much extra studying on top of it. as the weather gets cooler, I want to pace myself and find a sustainable schedule where I can learn new things and make career progress without burning out.

this month has been full of early mornings, tea, and making time for my creative hobbies. I'm re-learning how to take better care of myself when life gets busy. I hope all of you are doing your best to take care of yourselves as well <3

i find books centred around middle-class white women “struggling” to navigate life to be so difficult to get through

i'm one "sad white girl in la" novel away from a breakdown

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.” ― George Orwell

03/02/24 || Saturday

I think I messed up my previous post (checked and yes I called yesterday Saturday sksksk). Finished two out of three lectures I need to do for a quiz on Monday, and I still have a lot of work. But I am going to go sleep for now and figure out the rest tomorrow (it's 1am 💀).

Day 5/30 of 30-Day New Year Momentum Challenge

What methods do you find best for managing tasks?

Mostly sticky notes. I am not the best at time management and discipline, but I usually keep the deadlines on my notion calendar, and I have a tiny notebook where I scribble all the things I need to do (including academics and grocery lists lol), and finally I use sticky notes for day to day tasks and stick them on the side of my laptop so that I can remember.

Also I like drawing little doodles on my sticky notes haha

26 December 2023

The weather is awfully depressing today and I'm really struggling to focus. It seems I'll only have three finals this exam sesh, but two of them are such enormous monsters of exams that I'm starting to worry (the inorganic chem one is famously 3h long...). A month no longer seems enough to revise everything, but I gotta try

professors should stop asking for my assignments to be turned in via a 12pt times new roman, double spaced word document at 11:59pm and instead allow me to dredge my way into the lecture hall 10 minutes late, covered in spilled ink, and reeking of perfume and cigarettes with my barely legible discussion post responses scribbled onto a disintegrating piece of half burned parchment covered in spilled coffee and smeared ink

≽^•⩊•^≼ feb. goal check up◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

✅ Develop my goals outside of school or work -> i started practicing the guitar and drawing again! I don't have too much time right now, but it makes me happy to spend ~30 mins a day doing something different.

Focus -> working on it...

Develop a routine -> working on it...

Get back to eating healthy & lifting -> I went to the store recently and got a bunch of things I can eat without dying + I'm going to try a new store this weekend (unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere where it's hard to get food items when you have dietary restrictions)

Things to Continue

✅Hair care

Reading (I would like to increase how much I read, however!)

✅Sketching/Hobbies (Also would like to increase... and maybe not draw in my school notebooks)

Limiting how much I spend!

✅Walking after dinner/being active in general

50 days of routine (october 30, 2024 - december 19, 2024)

an attempt to physically and mentally survive the remainder of this semester. motivation has been dwindling and motivation drops even further when i feel like i've failed because i can't stick to a routine nor figure out how to be sustainably productive! 😓😖 so here we are with...a challenge? 😅🫠

there'll be a checkpoint for updated goals 32 days in (dec 1) 📍because after that, i start reviewing for finals full time…

updates ~daily with my forest 🌲 for the day or week so far and the everyday stuff i want to keep track of or celebrate! 🍾 because even on the days i feel like there's nothing to celebrate, i bet there is if i just...stop comparing myself to others and lower my expectations (progress > perfection) enough that i can truly appreciate life as it happens and just...live. 😖🥀🌹

here's what an ideal week would look like...roughly. i expect things to shift around a little if not a lot, especially as life unfolds and i get into the nitty-gritty of the schedule, but what's non-negotiable is daily movement, as consistent a sleep schedule as possible (bed by 9, up by 7)...and by nov. 3 (end of this week) or nov. 10 (end of next week), i'm hoping to also add the stuff in dark green, the purple, wind-down time after dinner, and hobbiting time as higher priorities too... my main goal for these 50 days is to figure out a sustainable routine that leaves me feeling fulfilled and satisfied with the direction my life is taking. 💃🏻🎶

by cbt i mean since therapy isn't really accessible for me rn i'm going to read about it and/or fill out a workbook 😅

highlights from this weekend:

taking a walk to the library and having a study date with my partner

eating good food :)

finishing the chapter 7 labs in Practical Malware Analysis (I totally missed all the important bits of the third one, but the authors did say this was the hardest lab in the book so far 😅)

enjoying the beautiful weather and going birdwatching for a bit (fall migration has started! there are so many birds out rn omg)

circles

I'm running in circles I'm running out of excuses my head hurts and my legs won't work

I'm lookin in the mirror I'm lookin at a mess what have I made of myself i don't remember being born this way

I've started hating holidays I've started hating myself everything was so effortless i never doubted myself

when did I last shower? when did I last stopped cryin? things really don't need to be this bad am i just overbearing

i drink one cup of coffee and i drink one more i haven't slept for days my hands never shaked this way before

I've lost a sense of hope I've lost my spark i look around, i read the news was everything always so sickening?

I tell myself you're fine I tell myself you're pathetic you're trying your best dear but are you, really..?
