take a break

On Sunday I took a walk around my neighborhood and found a bunch of maps for sale! I bought some of the places I lived in France before moving to Paris. I hope that I won’t be moving again anytime soon :-)

finals countdown: 4 days

today was the last day of covering new material before finals! i've finished all of my "normal" homework for the term, so now it's just a few more days of intense studying and then i'm done. in some ways this is my favorite part of the term - i get to study in my own way, on my own schedule, and then show off all the things i've learned at the end of it.

how ironic it is that i bought this self-help book before my book-buying ban as if my state of exhaustion, the feeling of being overwhelmed and lost were due to attitude issues and not the world going to shit

This is a late post, I got some readings done in a coffee shop on campus~ we covered nō plays in my comparative literature class.

Got slammed with a few major projects so now I’m playing catch up (ｰ ｰ;)

Life is not about being productive all the time. It's not always about performing, being sucessful, moving forward. Some days are for relaxation, crying, regrouping, winding down. It's ok and it's allowed. Nothing to be ashamed off.

first breakfast in the sun in months

// I’m going to have a day off after a quick cognitive psychology recap. Yesterday I studied biology 8 hours straight and had an exam on top of that so it’s a well deserved free day!

Holed up in a coffee shop with yeon-studies for a few hours (despite the weather) to whittle down seven annotated articles, two work write ups, a lecture video, spss stats output, stats chapter and group notes, my email inbox, & a melty mocha. Perhaps ‘twas the promise of bao that kept me focused.

I still feel exhausted and it's so hard to bring myself to do anything for work. There's a few things I should get done but I just can't. Luckily I have a week off. I'll have to work a few days but there'll also be time to relax.
