studying is something I can do forever. there are days and months when I don't feel like studying at all. i procrastinate, I binge watch shows on Netflix, I cry, I get anxious but it's okay. you got to feel worse before feeling better. life isn't perfect and if there's no struggle then there's no fun. I'll continue to capture these moments and let the world know how I feel and accept it with open arms. idk who needs this but let me tell you bud, it's okay to feel however and whatever you feel. you're not alone in this journey. feel free to ask, say or write anything to me

Day One;

Self paced studies have begun, the first of eleven weeks.

I was worried about this course, starting studies in general, although now that I’ve completed the first bit of Module One I am confident this is what I was looking for. First step of pursuing a new career. I am the first in my family to have gone to post secondary. This will be a great test to everything I have developed for the past eight years; Time management and adherence to self discipline. It’s entirely in my hands.

Dedicated study time 2.75 hours

Thirteen months remaining.

i think it says a lot that this is my third time studying Van Gogh's art in a school/academic setting, but this is the first time that the message has been "Van Gogh created art despite his mental illness, not because of it". I vividly remember being on a school trip and looking at Van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, and our teacher telling us at length about the "vivid" and "disorganised" way he used colour, and how this was reflective of Van Gogh's mental state. I guess because that's the fun, exciting way to make middle schoolers interested in some 19th century artist's work ("he cut off his own ear! Gross!"), but... it's so reductive. It completely ignores who he was as a person – or at least, the person he presents through his letters and art – and flattens what he was doing with his work.

Did you know he actually didn't paint when he was at his most severely mentally unwell? I didn't! Did you know he was a voluntary patient? I didn't either! Did you know he was deliberately painting in a style (and choosing subjects) that was/were transgressive and went against the established grain of academic art in the 19th century? Because let me tell you, learning that completely upended everything I'd internalised over the years about Van Gogh being this epitome of the ~troubled artist~. It's both deeply fascinating to learn about and a depressing reminder of the made-for-consumption-but-not-acceptance conception of mental illness that pervades popular culture & society.

September 7-9th, 2024

Day 7-9/30 days of productivity

I didn't have the chance to write recently, so I'm cramming day 7-9 into one post. Took a nice hour-long walk and managed to get a bit of reading both for uni and for pleasure. I only barely reviewed my past notes, so more work for the following days!

Work as usual

Read an article

Walk 1h (9/7)

Walk 1.5h (9/8)

Review past notes

Leisure reading

Cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Shop supplies

Draft backlog

Q7: What is your go-to song/playlist for studying? — Anything without vocals as it can get distracting. Classical music tends to be my go-to! My favorite playlist is this one: Gothic Classical

Q8: Do you read? If you do, what are some favorites? — I do. My current favorites are Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and The Parricide's Tale by Charles Robert Maturin (short story).

Q9: Do you procrastinate? — Yes, and it's a hard habit to break!
