Morning Routine: From 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM 📸🌅

I absolutely love waking up early when everything is still silent. There’s something magical about starting the day before the world wakes up. 🌅✨ Here’s how my morning went:

1️⃣ 5:30 AM: This is my golden time. The quiet of the early morning helps me dive into my studies with incredible focus💫 These two hours were super productive!

2️⃣ 7:30 AM: Took a refreshing break to recharge with some chai tea. It’s amazing how a little pause can reenergize you for more!

3️⃣ 9:00 AM: Breakfast time and a well-deserved break. 🥐✨ After a productive start, it’s nice to step away and enjoy some food.

Now it’s time for me to unwind with some journaling and properly start my morning routine (think shower, skincare...). Until now, I’ve been diving into my studies straight out of bed, still in my pajamas and a bit of a mess 😂 Now I’m excited to get organized and fully embrace the rest of the day!

🎧 On repeat: “Lonely” by Swamp Dogg – This track has been my study anthem today. 🎶

How do you make the most of your early mornings? I’d love to hear your routines and tips! 🌞✨

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.

thursday 10.3.2024. kinda tired of business law after spending 2 solid days outlining/revising, but i'm almost halfway done with my outline for the first 7 weeks! i also had my meeting with the school's accommodations coordinator and put some accommodations in place for lectures and exams. it was terrifying tbh to meet with a stranger and talk about all of that because until my diagnosis this spring, every doctor/psychiatrist/therapist/school counselor ignored it because i wasn't "bad enough" to them. i did cry after the meeting bc i'm still not used to being heard i guess.

total study time- 7 hours 30 minutes

1 hour 15 minutes in class

5 hours 15 minutes on business law

30 minutes planning spring 2025 courses

30 minutes reviewing supplements
