9.23.24 | Making my desk more autumnal with a gourd from my garden bed and some flowers my mom and dad bought me :,)

I’ve been working SO HARD and it still feels like it’s not enough. I have a few bigger assignments this week, and then 3 exams next week.

Slowly crawling back here to post to talk about books, because ngl, I missed it. At the moment, weirdly enough I only have one book on my currently reading and it still is Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. This is the third and final book in this series, and despite me being a little over 100 pages into it I am not vibing with it. I loved the previous two books, and flew through them, but I am so stuck with this one. I don't even feel like picking it up. It is partially due to my mental health and energy levels at the moment, but also I feel like it's also this book's fault too. It's been very slow so far and I don't really see where it's going? Not much has happened so far, which also makes me wonder why this book exists in the first place. Maybe this could have been a very good duology? I feel like it's dragging a lot, idk. If someone has read the whole series and can give me some spoiler free opinions that would be lovely. I am really hoping that the plot will start doing something for me, because I want to read so bad, but at the same time this book is not keeping me interested to have a good reading session.

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)

currently listening 🎧 : las calles de mi ciudad by Bilbao

Studied at a few different places this week; sometimes a change of scenery works wonders for my productivity 🤩🤍☕️

spent three hours creating a class facilitation about deleuze for my post-structuralism class !

the class went really well, and my professor complimented my discussion questions and work! i love being able to show people about philosophical topics and make it relevant and more accessible !
