A merciless cold, and a tent that cannot withstand!
Like many other countries, this year’s winter is unbearably rains, fierce winds, and extreme cold that we haven't experienced in many years.
But the difference is that we are not in a home that shields our shivering bodies; we are in a torn tent that neither blocks the cold nor stops the rain.
Yesterday, the roof of our tent was ripped off, and water seeped into our few blankets. We shivered from the cold until we felt it seep into our bones. It was a brutal night as I held my child in my arms, searching for warmth I did not have. 💔
But the hardest part is that the world thinks our suffering has ended. We are still without a home, without an income, and prices are soaring. Yet, donations have dwindled as if the pain has ceased! But it has not… We are still here, struggling to survive each day.
Please, if you are reading this, do not leave us alone. Your donation could be the difference between another night of torment or a moment of warmth that we so desperately need. 🙏
morning studying and evening reading.
had to give a presentation about shostakovich, debussy and ravel today and tomorrow i am writing my first exam this semester about literature of the middle ages. so of course i am procrastinating by re-reading another book i need to know well for an exam next week.
this long holiday break got me so productive that i managed to create my own study vlog channel! you can watch my first vlog here.
so far, this week:
started reading a new oscar wilde play
submitted another commissioned article
cleaned my bookshelf and some parts of the house
currently editing my second study vlog
it’s quite different from my dark academic posts because i wanted to show a different kind of aesthetic that i also live by.
1.27.20 | lots of con law reading, i still kinda don’t know what i’m doing in this class but we’re gonna find out
accomplishments today:
finished (again) my letter of intent for a med school
exercised
took a shower (That is an achievement, yes)
emailed my grad student and a couple of other ppl (emailing is exhausting and i hate it)
🎧 i am listening to: fallin’ flower, svt
life update because long time no see!!!!!! I’ve not been active here lately because life’s been overwhelming so here’s a messy update:
1- I’ve been mainly focusing on my dissertation which is FINALLY FINISHED! I’ve submitted the final version for review and once I get that back I’ll have to fix some things and then upload the final version the first week of june!
2- I’ve also had a ton of projects to work on for all three classes I have this semester and I still have 2 big ones to finish and they’re due in 3 weeks…
3- I’ve been going to the dentist almost every week since the beginning of April and it sucks but at least the dentist guy is cute so
4- I saw endgame two days in a row when it came out and it destroyed me and i’m still not over it so yeah
5- also been watching game of thrones and season 8 is a freaking joke i can’t believe what they’re doing to the characters’ arcs.
6- I still don’t have a clue what I’m gonna do with my life once uni is over lol also wish my family would stop asking me nonstop
7- I’ve reached that level of stress where I’m just kinda calm and it’s scary.
October 29, 2022 - Saturday | 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 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
i'm going to be starting (very late!) tranquilstudy's studyblr challenge
what are you studying currently? what are your goals in doing this challenge? i study anthropology at uni and i am just about to graduate which is so exciting but it means that there is a lot of work to be done before graduating! studyblr motivates me so much and i think this challenge will help me be more active in the community :)
