Working on my thesis.

2025. 04. 28 | The weekend.

Koningsnacht and Koningsdag, we took it easy this year.

I had a pretty bad week a couple weeks ago at work and just mentally checked out for a bit, which was easy to do because it’s basically been Pasqua weekend, work retreat, Koningsdag, and now we’re back. Like a month later lol.

There’s just casual racism, sexism, xenophobia by some people there and not really anybody recognizing it, so I lost my drive for work for a bit.

Anyway, today was the first real day back and my student and I spent it in the lab. There are setbacks but we’re making some progress. I’m just excited to finally get going.

This is temporary. You have not stagnated. You are not a failure. You will heal, you will recover, you will have a beautiful life. It is waiting for you.

21.04.2025 // 8/30: Started reading the graphic novel of Watership Down on my off days and actually went outside while the sun was there. Today I continued my literary anthropology course. I'm still a bit confused about the central themes of the first lection because it was basically a recap of the whole enlightenment period in detail. I definitely have to take extra notes to get myself an overview.

04.11.25 // research day!

i started an internship this quarter that has me researching a lot of things i’ve never really thought i would learn about. it’s got me working a lot, too. simultaneously, i’m finishing up my degree as well as continuing on in the research apprenticeship program i started working in last quarter… the workload is genuinely endless. can’t believe it’s all almost over.
