november 19th, saturday
zoning out and walking into the apartment next to the library instead counter: 2
struggling with biological classification and physics these days. winter brings along the desire to sit at the corner of my room and stare at the ceiling endlessly: no thoughts, head empty.
I think I might start a productivity challenge because the november blues seem unending, just like the number of forthcoming exams.

October 29, 2022 - SaturdayĀ | Fall challenges 19/30 + 15/30
I wrote + compiled final exams today for 2 of my classes and it took me way too long⦠I feel like most of my time was spent formatting the exam rather than on the actual content lmao. Later I went for a brief walk and found some flowers that someone was still growing despite the fact weāre going into November soon (!!)
What can you de-clutter physically or emotionally to find more ease and simplicity honestly i need to get rid of all the cardboard boxes and packing material I have āin case I need it laterā personally itās difficult for me to throw out things that even have a little bit of use. Emotionally I'm also a hoarder lol but honestly these days Iām less cluttered emotionally that I was in the past. Appreciating people when they make me happy and letting people know when they make me sad has given such a lightness. The simple question of 'How will they know if I don't tell them?' and voila~ no more baggage. Even if they don't listen to what I say, at least I know that I did what I could.
How was your day today was a mixed bag lol there was everything: productivity, wasting time, going on a walk š then not feeling well and coming back early š then thankfully I was blessed with sleep so I couldnāt spend too much time thinking abt it and feeling sad šāØwhen I woke up I did some reading and writing so all in all 7/10 day actually

today's slow sunday setup, i am currently working at my linguistic paper but i'm already so curious about the reading pensum for my literature class, so i might have a peak when i am done with working on my paper and cleaning for today! (cleaning really is necessary, lol)
also i am incredibly longing for a cozy autumn start, it is my favourite season and i am looking forward to it so so so much!

24/30 days of self care
Today I finished working on the first set of documents I photographed at the archives. With this I am more or less done with the reports of the interrogation of one of the three women accused of witchcraft I am working on. Since the majority of my work at the moment has been research based, I have this constant feeling pf not doing enough, because at the end of the day I mostly read stuff. So I decided to do a list of all the thesis related things I accomplished since exactly a month ago when I went to my first in person meeting with the professor who is helping me in my work. This process was so beneficial for my mental state at the moment, I realized how much I actually got done in a month, and I recommend this to anyone who is doing a similar work. I also practiced Irish on duolingo during my lunch break, and I took the afternoon off to catch up with a friend to get gelato together. Self care things I did:
Read first thing in the morning
Did some drawing and creative work in my new bullet journal
Created the productivity list of my last month of thesis work
Took the afternoon off
tranquilstudy's studying challenge // day 28
Day Twenty-Eight:Ā What time do you usually go to bed? Do you have a bedtime or night routine? If so, share it with us! If not, what helps you get to sleep faster?
I don't really have a bedtime routine, I just brush my teeth, wash my face and try to read for more or less half an hour. I go to sleep quite early, I like to wake up early in the morning so by 22 I am in bed reading,more often than not even a bit earlier than that. To sleep faster, other than avoiding watching at screens for at least half an hour as I was mentioning, I normally get melatonin gummies. They have been very helpful in these past months. The thing is, although my sleep schedule is very regular, as soon as I am a bit more stressed and anxious than usual, sleep is the first thing that has consequences. I struggle falling asleep, I wake up multiple times, I have long periods of continuous nightmares. So I do everything in my power to help with sleep. Especially since as soon as I am slightly sleep deprived I become another person, I am much more easily annoyed and I just feel more tense and generally angry which I do not like at all.

Iām a ball of stress and exam anxiety.
Going to uni reminds me of the movie legally blonde. I used to watch so many school shows like mean girls and the gilmore girls
