i must not miss class. missing class is the mind-killer. missing class is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face my lecture. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the class has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.
pov: you study astrophysics šššŖ
Being in University is just such a surreal time. You go from struggling to speak a language to eating fast food in comfy chairs to fantasizing over the prince of Denmark to contemplating the historical implications of intersectional imperialism in West Africa. Wild.
Its actually so so hard to introduce yourself with your preferred name and pronouns.
Like even tho i know that no one at uni knows me its just such a struggle and i feel so weird bc ive only introduced myself with she/her and my birth name :|
SOME EVEN ASK ABOUT PRONOUNS AND I STILL CANT BRING MYSELF TO SAY THE RIGHT ONES???š«
Uni timetables are so goddamn stupid
One of the most frustrating but also lowkey funny parts about uni is writing long ass formal emails to professors almost BEGGING them to let you into the course and then getting a two line email back thats like:
Dear student,
Sorry to disappoint but no xx
8am lecture means playing the āhow late can i leave my bed without being lateā game
I really wanna do commission since i want to safe up some money for my semester abroad that i have to do for my degree but in the last 4 years of posting art online it just seems like all requests i get are either scams or just people that want are for free :(
I just never know how to post about it and promote my work without seeming annoying or pushy and since it would take me like 2 months for each commission (and i refuse to sell my are for like 5 bucks) it seems like people just arenāt interested
SO yesterday I had a guest professor who
spent well over 10 minutes showing us memes about Ea-Nasir
Wondered if the Babylonians wore skirts because of 'the flow down under'
Called like all the kings in the Ancient Near East cute
Called all of us darlings, multiple times
Casually brought VERY valuable clay tablets to our lesson in a tin cookie jar
Proudly exclaimed 'I'm the father' while explaining pregnant tablets (clay tablets with another clay tablet in them)
'What happens in the office between me and the tablets, stays in the office between me and the tablets'
Casually said he was the first ever to put a tablet in a particle accelerator LIKE LAST WEEK
Had an absolutely FIRE powerpoint
Showed us a picture of a cute dog just because
What a legend

february mood
increased daylight and a better state of mind
a large iced latte and a trusted notebook on the library desk
a chunky knit sweater, clear nail polish and a favourite ring
clear blue skies, the first of the migratory birds returning
studying on a leisurely morning with the sound of your computer keyboard and the familiar scent of hand cream
sunglasses, a long wool coat and a big scarf
seeking to simplify in all areas of life, journaling to focus on what truly matters to you
walking to lectures, a claw clip in your hair and your favourite bag full of books on your shoulder
getting yourself flowers and a breakfast croissant to celebrate the mundane
all i want is for jeonnguk to take me into his arms and put me on his bed and give me backshotsrub to make all my worries go away... is that too much to ask?
I sustained the desire to be an astronaut all the way up to 8th grade, then decided I want to be a astronomer, changed it to physicist in 10th grade and am majoring in Physics at University now.
Anyways, I don't like Physics anymore.
Sorry, i forgot to add tags
I slept at 4 am ish last night coz i was watching fucking Shawshank Redemption. And then i woke up at 10 am hungry as fuck. I had to go to a conference at 11, so i rushed there, but turns out, it doesn't start till 5pm. So i came back and somehow fell asleep again, missed lunch and now am feeling super weak and going out to get lunch. Im pretty sure im walking like a zombie.
Ughhhh
Thank you for compiling this <33
