050121. Wrapped Up A (shockingly) Forgiving Math Midterm Yesterday & Hyped For What's Looking Like A

getting my workspace nice and tidy for a productive day of math studies! hopefully will get topic 1 fully revised today.

7.26.21 The Brooklyn Museum has a horse on a pedestal made of cork. It’s rider is absent because the statue celebrates the community instead of the individual. If you see that piece in person, tell me if the business card of a flower shop on Montague street is still there. I pinned it to the left side, and you should pin something there too.

I bought a lovely little teapot yesterday, just in time for a light dusting of snow. I'll be spending the most of my day in today, but I am going to drop a belated birthday gift off later this afternoon. Now back to readings and discussion posts!

24/30 days of self care

Today I finished working on the first set of documents I photographed at the archives. With this I am more or less done with the reports of the interrogation of one of the three women accused of witchcraft I am working on. Since the majority of my work at the moment has been research based, I have this constant feeling pf not doing enough, because at the end of the day I mostly read stuff. So I decided to do a list of all the thesis related things I accomplished since exactly a month ago when I went to my first in person meeting with the professor who is helping me in my work. This process was so beneficial for my mental state at the moment, I realized how much I actually got done in a month, and I recommend this to anyone who is doing a similar work. I also practiced Irish on duolingo during my lunch break, and I took the afternoon off to catch up with a friend to get gelato together. Self care things I did:

Read first thing in the morning

Did some drawing and creative work in my new bullet journal

Created the productivity list of my last month of thesis work

Took the afternoon off

Day Twenty-Eight:  What time do you usually go to bed? Do you have a bedtime or night routine? If so, share it with us! If not, what helps you get to sleep faster?

I don't really have a bedtime routine, I just brush my teeth, wash my face and try to read for more or less half an hour. I go to sleep quite early, I like to wake up early in the morning so by 22 I am in bed reading,more often than not even a bit earlier than that. To sleep faster, other than avoiding watching at screens for at least half an hour as I was mentioning, I normally get melatonin gummies. They have been very helpful in these past months. The thing is, although my sleep schedule is very regular, as soon as I am a bit more stressed and anxious than usual, sleep is the first thing that has consequences. I struggle falling asleep, I wake up multiple times, I have long periods of continuous nightmares. So I do everything in my power to help with sleep. Especially since as soon as I am slightly sleep deprived I become another person, I am much more easily annoyed and I just feel more tense and generally angry which I do not like at all.

Starting bar review (or at least the German version of it - so state examination review?) tomorrow and I‘m really anxious excited but also scared of not being able to perform or properly learn in the new environment. Going to finish up preparations now and then enjoy the calm before the storm.

today is not my day. my brain is all over the place but it’s okay... just wish my brain would function properly sometimes and allow me to focus for once
