Howdy all, how you've you been? I've been home for the Easter holiday and it's been... interesting... I might be slowly going insane because of an essay that is due on the 5th of May. But! I have managed to overcome the art block that had definitely been driving me insane for a couple week. xxxx » Continue Reading
Tomorrow I'm travelling to go back home for a couple weeks. It's a pretty tiring trip, I have a 3+ hour bus ride, and then a 3+ hour flight. As always, I'm pretty anxious about the flight. AND as always, I have to wake up super early (5am). Sigh... » Continue Reading
Because I live in a different country for university, I facetime with my mum every evening. So often I feel like she talks AT me, instead of having an actual conversation WITH me. It becomes especially annoying whenever I reply to something she says, or reply to a question she's asked me, and she ignores/doesn't hear what I said?? She's always done that, although I never noticed until recently. M... » Continue Reading
Today I finished reading the war of the worlds! It's been a pretty good read! It was a very interesting read in a similar vein to dracula, in the sense that it pioneered and popularised literature tropes that we now take for granted. Also, there were some moments when the narrator was describing a feeling of dissociation, and it surprised me, but it was probably one of my favourite parts of the no... » Continue Reading
I'm soooo tried I had a presentation today, and then I had to go to the city centre I tried playing osu after coming home, but I didn't feel like it. I opened up a drawing I started yesterday, but I didn't feel like drawing. I'm watching youtube now, and I might go make tea, get a snack & watch anime. OR play the sims?? Maybe, I don't mind that idea actually » Continue Reading
I had watched the haunting of bly manor during Christmas, and I just finished watching the haunting of hill house. I feel like I finally understand a lot more things about bly manor, now that I've watched hill house. I don't remember it very well, but bly was from early on very chaotic in terms of presentation and linear time, but hill house eases you into it a lot more. At the same time, I think ... » Continue Reading
I don't know what I'll do tomorrow I have to talk to the professor about the dissertation at 9am tomorrow. I haven't done anything for it. What will I say? I also failed a class that she was teaching. What the fuck will I do tomorrow » Continue Reading
Well... since I failed at that project, it means I am a failure. I can't do anything right. This is very bad timing though. I have almost finished the teaching work placement. It's gone really well all things considered. But this failure dampens everything. Now I don't know if I can feel happy about the teaching module... I can't wait to go home. I need to be alone with my thoughts for a while... » Continue Reading
I got a 35/100. I'm not surprised. It would have been a miracle if I had somehow completed all the criteria that I was graded on. "You failed to meet the criteria of the module" no shit sherlock, I had told you I was sick on the last week of the project. And you had panicked ans you wanted me to submit it unfinished. Either way, I hadn't been very motivated to work on that project. But... I honest... » Continue Reading
I've had a long and difficult month, but today is the last day of the teaching work placement I've been doing. So! I decided that I'll paint my nails when I get home! I'm thinking if I should paint them all black, or do a combination of black and gray, like I've done before... I'm seriously looking forward to it! I already can't wait to go home! But, I will use this excitement to hopefully do good... » Continue Reading
I honestly have no idea. I have enjoyed my work placement in the school, but I'm not sure if I could do it every day for 30+ years. I've been so exhausted in the past month that I had the work placement. What I do know is that I don't really care about a career. All I need is a stable income so that I can pursue my hobbies in peace, and treat myself from time to time. Is that too much to ask? A mu... » Continue Reading
I'm realising something about myself. I hate projects where I am supposed to choose my own theme/topic. I cannot engage with them. I'm not asking to be told exactly what to do, but I've enjoyed so much more the projects where I have a starting point in terms of theme/visuals, and even the materials that I can use. I have to write a proposal for the dissertation that I'll have to write in my 3rd ye... » Continue Reading
