song: old regalia's hidden school for the magically impaired by kyle stibbs
glad i took a bit of a break last week as really crossed a lot off my to do list this week. i've also shifted my language goals a bit. i realised i wasn't really engaged with learning french beyond maintaining my duolingo streak so, in an act of self-compassion that would make my therapist proud, instead of berating myself for it, i leant in and asked why i was struggling with it. edited my pinned post to show new goals.

Maintained duolingo streak
Completed glean training
Contacted supervisor
Song: fearless (taylor's version) - taylor swift
Not a lot of studying this week. Ended up submitting an assignment 2 week early, new module doesn't start for another week and prep materials haven't been released yet, and waiting for my supervisor to get back to me before I can start my phd application. Took advantage to have a break and enjoy some crafts.

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.

song: what else can i do? from encanto by diane guerrero, stephanie beatriz
i had little to no motivation to do anything last week, but got a lot of my motivation back this week. constantly reminding myself that - especially with adhd - motivation follows action, not the other way around. also had a lovely couple of cafe study sessions with my sibling and my mum.
