Tuesday already but I still have this week off. However, I'll have to start working a bit today as there's a pile of exams to grade and some classes to plan waiting for me. My plan is to do something during the day and work 1-2 hours each night. That way it'll still feel like vacation.

To do for today:

- get an overview of the things I have to do before school starts

- prepare one exam

- grading

21.04.2025 // 8/30: Started reading the graphic novel of Watership Down on my off days and actually went outside while the sun was there. Today I continued my literary anthropology course. I'm still a bit confused about the central themes of the first lection because it was basically a recap of the whole enlightenment period in detail. I definitely have to take extra notes to get myself an overview.

An appreciation post for all the coffees & teas I’ve lovingly consumed this year. There is something so healing about taking a small moment to enjoy a warm drink, especially when it feels like a hug in a mug. ☕️🤍

“That’s life. You’re always making decisions, taking paths that lead you away from the rest before you can see where they end. Maybe that’s why we as a species love stories so much. All those chances for do-overs, opportunities to live the lives we’ll never have.”

—Emily Henry, Book Lovers

22.04.2025 // 9/30: Had to travel to a doctors appointment so I didn't get to do much learning today. Continued my Erinnerungskultur course which was weirdly relaxing because it was all about the Asterix comics.

imagine how i managed to get a tarot client from a spanish lesson? we were asked to introduce ourselves and the teacher asked what I did for a living and I was like "How does one officially say that they read tarot cards for people?" lol

it's very literal, by the way - "Leo las cartas del Tarot"

we had a small talk about our professions and then one of my classmates asked if i had whatsapp or something so she could get a reading! i hope that this inspires you to just "do the thing" because this wouldn't have happened if i didn't bully myself into buying the spanish lessons!

what i did today 📤:

gym session with my sister (1.5hr)

bought new skincare products bc i'm breaking out again

ancestral reading for a new client

spanish revision + input (1hr)

duolingo (15min and 488 day streak)
