Seen A Lot Of These With Your Favorites, But Reblog With The CURRENT Book You Are Reading, Show You Are

I start writing my dissertation officially tomorrow. However, currently I’m spending this evening writing up a dissertation micro-structure (consisting of bullet pointing every single thing I want to say on separate word documents designated to each section). I have also just sent off a couple emails about my abstract and also about having a consultation booked. I’m both excited and nervous. I’m also not sure if I have explicitly advertised my dissertation topic on here yet? Well, here is the text I am writing my dissertation on: Christine de Pizan’s The Book of the City of Ladies (1405).

Over 500 years before Virginia Woolf imagined a room of one’s own, Christine de Pizan imagined a whole city.

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 we’re 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 ‘in case I need it later’ personally it’s 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 I’m 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 👍 then not feeling well and coming back early 👎 then thankfully I was blessed with sleep so I couldn’t spend too much time thinking abt it and feeling sad 😌✨when I woke up I did some reading and writing so all in all 7/10 day actually

thursday, 12:31 pm have my last and most important exam on russian literature tomorrow and I’m scared to death to be honest. suffering from “hermione granger syndrome” and working my ass off just to get an excellent mark and approval has been very hard for me throughout the 16 years of studying. well, at least I’m aware of the problem :)

last night / this morning

It’s midtermmmmm season. Also known as I’d rather be doing anything else season. Good luck!
