2025. 03. 10 | but the light!
I love the independence of doing a PhD! I thrive when I’m interested in what I’m doing (I am), I’m constantly learning (also), and I am not being micromanaged (I’m not!). I love my supervisor and the faith she’s showing me to get my own shit done.
I love my job.
I love my project.
My boss is so great.
I can’t tell how much of all this enthusiasm is coming from the sun and how much is real but I’m riding it.

adhd brain has been a bit all over the place this week so giving it some rest time with hello kitty island adventure and the new spy x family chapter. wrangled myself enough to put together a compassionate study plan for next week and re-energise myself.

first draft of essay
researched phd supervisors
completed assistive tech training
set up zotero
song: john hughes movie by maisie peters
feeling so much better now the first draft is done. it's taken a long time to get the assistive tech i need, but oh my god it's so good. i can't believe i've been working without adhd support this whole time. drafting this essay with the proper support was a breeze after struggling with it and previous essays for weeks. i may even had it in early.

It’s been a crazy week! But let us as academics not forget what materially matters. There is no point in gaining an education if our community is at risk. Prioritize resistance as well as education and self care.
Lots of work again this week, and I’m currently battling with my urge to play video games all day!
Missing my girlfriend, but hey at least I got a lot of stuff done!
Have a good week friends
