Another Day!

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.

Today’s Study Space 🎋🪷🍊

Today my plan is to write another journal entry in my diary, as well as my Form Journal. Been feeling pretty tired despite sleeping well last night. Narcolepsy sucks like that. I love the quote in my Form journal today. “Progress over perfection.”

going completely insane in the name of eduction and knowledge is the only path to glory it seems.

Daily Productivity Challenge: 4/10

04.08.2025~ Getting started on my complexity theory homework that was due yesterday :D, also working on my computer graphics GPU programming project on the side. Working towards finishing the wrapper assignment for my Bayesian Net project as well :)

The paradox of being a student: a full notebook, an empty head.

Espresso-fueled thoughts, morning musings, and a love letter to quiet ambition — between books, cafés, and city strolls.

I set up my grad school accounts today!! I also compiled a reading list that I organized on Zotero; the goal is to read, annotate, and start drafting a literature review for my first set of grant proposals due in early September.

I'm thrilled to be starting my PhD, and to work with the people who have inspired me. I've also missed being a student

focus on the likes and not the wants

you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after

you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared

you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings

you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love

you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident

you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you

you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it
