7 hours of work today, my eyes are starting to sting but at least I've been productive (which proves that working with stress is effective).
J-5 before exams
I'm going to one of the most prestigious schools in my country. I don't want to go there because I like the studies or because I'll be well paid when I leave. Not just because there's a ball where you can carry a real sword (need I ask for a better reason?).
You'd think after watching Dead Poet Society three times and knowing almost all of the dialogue, I wouldn't cry watching it a fourth time. Daring of you to assume that, I literally cried for an hour...
Thanks to the person who thought it was more fun to add a letter instead of a number. Thanks to you, I have to study for days just to do a silly little equation without a number.
If I don’t answer tomorrow don’t worry I will probably just cry for bit because of my math exam.
So happy to have had Babel for Christmas. I already have the American edition so I can compare the translations, and I can't wait to see how the translator has adapted the meaning of the words in the French version!
And above all, I can't wait to meet the characters again. Babel is the book that really made an impression on me in 2023, and I literally quote it in all my French essays.
Gradually falling back in love with studying 🫶
Doing organic chemistry always helps me enjoy what I study
On the booktok there is this huge thing of "don't damage the books". And the whole "never break your spine" "no dog-eared page" thing pisses me off so much. Since I was a child I learned that the more the book is damaged the more we like it. And reading old books, I saw which page was read again and again. I want to see that the book had gone to the beach even if that means the page is crumpled. Books are literally a part of our lives, so it's only normal for them to look worn down from life.
I specifically remember this book when I was 8yo , Inkeart where the main character Meggie talk a lot about this and I think it has greatly influenced my way of being a reader (since I read this book I always keep my reading of the moment under my pillow)
Reading the art of getting by is having your heart crushed at each sentences but keep going because the writting is too beatiful.
How the author can make you cry with only five Words ???
Anyway go read it if you enjoy suffering(a lot)
