I want so many trinkets and clips and bits on my traveler’s journal that it takes me 5 minutes to even get into it for me to actually write in it.

Hello Fellow Students,

As the second semester approaches, I'm gearing up for another round of classes starting on the 16th. While I'm excited to dive back into my studies, I'm also taking this time to recharge my batteries, especially since I'm battling a bit of a sore throat. Don't worry though, I'm keeping my spirits high and staying motivated by taking care of my health and indulging in some good reads, like Julie Clark's gripping novel, "The Lies I Tell."

Remember, self-care and motivation are key components of a successful college experience. So, take some time for yourself, stay focused on your goals, and let's make this semester a great one! 💪 📚📖✨

Today’s Comfy & Cozy Study Space 💙🧸🕯️🙏🏻

Today, I’m start early. The plan is to get some journaling done, and to pull a card from The Urban Crow Oracle deck. I love waking up when it’s dark outside and lighting a candle all bundled up in my cozy study space! The Minecraft ambience shown above is by Drift Away Ambience.

Big fan of an espresso tonic.

Weather’s turned for the better; sun has returned and everything is beginning to flower, to the detriment of my allergies. But nice weather warrants espresso tonics again, so there’s that small delight to enjoy amidst everything. Time of pressure in the PhD program again. Acquaintance of mine dropped out of the program a bit ago and gave me a small notebook before leaving. Mentioned knowing how much I like writing on paper and felt it was an apt parting gift. Aim to honor their intent by getting good mileage out of said notebook; in tandem with my normal spiral bound, it has thus far served its purpose well.
