My biggest flex is my privacy. I don't feel the need to let everyone know what I'm up to. Whether I've been doing well or not, I choose only one to three people to tell my stuff to. Other times I don't even tell anyone about how I'm doing at the moment unless someone asks. I value my privacy and it's one of the most best gifts I provide myself.
physics professors are really going through it- every day, I think about my quantum physics professor who once went on a rant about how there's too many types of mustard these days followed by the words "well, at least quantum physics is less complicated than the mustard aisle" followed by one of the most cursed derivations I have ever seen

as october ends and the final month of struggle (so far 😆) begins it finally started feeling properly like autumn.
I think I'll never be prepared enough so I'll just have to give it my best shot

finally back into studying! my schedule this semester is all over the place so hopefully I will maintain a routine (probably not). thankfully the weather at the moment is nice and cosy ☁️
some goals this semester:
start every assignment earlier
do every module before class
do you want to be a bookstore owner, cafe owner or a flower shop owner

it's been one week of this challenge and i'm slowly starting to get my a grip on my life. sun-mon i started training again, which felt really good, even though i can still feel some injuries. i'm also making progress on history, currently studying ch. 3/7.
i once again took a good look of my personal study plan. with my current schedule, which i'm working very hard to keep up on, i'll be done with history by the end of the week. next week i'll finish my literature course, and i've started working on my next math course, even though there are still a couple trigonometry assignments i should get done, or just decide to not do them and turn the course in. i think i'll give myself this week for the deadline and turn it in with the history course.
☽ my next goals ☾
theory ch. 3 (history) exercises ch. 1-3 (history) study diary assignment ch.1 (history) study diary (literature) book blog assignment (literature) ex. 1-19 (math) book ex. 1-22 (math)
applying for academic jobs is a horrifying combo of forcing yourself to overinflate your accomplishments to show why you are the top qualified absolute total best choice for the position when you may be already fighting the uphill battle that is imposter syndrome and of embarrassing masochistic self-debasing near-begging for a job that may not actually even hit the self sufficiency income minimum in the area where the job is located
What you think archival research will be: immediate amazing discoveries about exactly what you’re working on
What archival research actually is: well now I want to know about all of the socks that the Archbishop of Florence sent to the Pope in 1512.
