New morning, same cafe … | The Missing Bean, Oxford, 14 January 2020

welcome to may!!

always one to kick things off with a great start— my laptop broke this morning :)

here’s to the may flowers that have been doing wonders for my mood 🌸

2:48 PM | my nearness to a final is directly proportional to my patisserie patronage. bought a lemon tart to help me with physical chemistry

~listening to~ nice little saturday morning by space gators

did my may habit trackers!! it’s been a while since i have made any, so i went extra ham on the design for these 😊 i’ve really been missing flowers!!

Zoomester Studyblr Challenge

Hi! I’m not a big creator on here but I always see Studyblr Challenges and I try my best to always take part (even tho i fail halfway) but this is my last semester at uni and I wanted to do a little something something. 

Info

This challenge is starting on March 1st and contains 31 prompts (one per day of the month) but feel free to take part at any given time! 

I initially aimed this challenge for all my struggling last semester/grad school/ thesis writing people BUT honestly, whatever your grade, this zoomester is crazy as it is.

If you do the challenge, use the tag #zoomester studyblr challenge so that it is easier for me to track posts and that way other people can also track and reblog!

Aims

This is lowkey my way of getting to know some more of you beautiful hardworking people.

Times are still hard so perhaps participating and getting to know people from the tags can be comforting for some people.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re new to the studyblr community or have been on here for a while and would like a safe space to insert yourself, here it is.

Sunday 10 January 2021

Back to online school again... currently reading The Ancient Paths: Discovering the Lost Map of Celtic Europe by Graham Robb.

— before and after

studying without the struggle to feel good enough. studying with interest and people to talk to when you don’t understand something. people who get lost in those topics with you over a drink or dinner in the evening, in a cozy bar after a day full of productive hours. walks and bycicle rides in the nights and in the early mornings because you spent the night in some shady apartment or club. motivation because you’re all in this together. happiness because it’s worth it. because you’re not alone.

my order from @seminarycoop came in & i am SO excited to dig in!! seminary also sent some cute stickers/goodies with my order, which was a lovely surprise :)

i liked caitlin starling’s debut, The Luminous Dead, and i’m pumped for another sapphic horror story. i’m also having a ton of fun writing about the Locked Tomb books rn, so— review to come for YJ too, hopefully :)

support local/indie bookstores!
