the greatest skill a woman can learn for herself is self reliance

organised my laptop, cleared my table, and began some research for a phd

Me.Myself.and.I

It sucks that sometimes my thoughts wonder off and surprises me by figuring out no one really knows me and I'm all alone in this world.... maybe someone will come along and support me but all there is at this point in time is loneliness...

anyone else in the sf bay area dealing with this ridiculous heat?! on top of that, the other night there was this gnarly thunderstorm like nothing i’d ever seen. i think that if it weren’t so hot (and if it didn’t happen from freakin’ 4 to 8 a.m.), i would’ve enjoyed it more. i was actually pretty freaked out lmao. weather events like that are an anomaly in california, probably akin to earthquakes happening on the east coast, so everyone makes a big to-do about it. there’s also a lot of concern since it’s the beginning of wildfire season here, and the lightning already hasn’t made it any easier. :-(

in other news, it’s been so hot that i’ve been seriously unmotivated to sit and be productive… i’ve been mostly sitting in front of the AC and eating a ton of ice cream. :x but! i have been making incremental progress teaching myself japanese for the past few weeks. it’s slow-going and my handwriting and kanji definitely need work, but i’m having a lot of fun with it so far. any other japanese beginners out there?! :D

19 March 2020 | I’ve been rather quiet lately, but here is a little glimpse into what “social distancing” looks like for me. It just so happened that this was the first semester of my program that I was doing almost entirely by distance anyway so remarkably little has changed for me in how I do my coursework. I’m thankful for how little the present pandemic has disrupted my education and know that very few can say the same. My husband, who was until a couple of days ago in the midst of his clinical rotations for medical school in a nearby emergency department, has been much more directly affected and involved in combating the current outbreak. Join me in praying for our entire world—as no one is unaffected by this virus—for when one suffers we all suffer together, recognizing the value and dignity of every human being be they near or far. 

O Master and Lord, our Savior, Healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. 

• july 22nd - july 23rd • 30 days of productivity  

I haven’t had the best couple of days mental-health-wise. The only ‘productive’ thing I did was draw and create more designs for my redbubble page. Other than that I’ve just been walking aimlessly around the house or laying on my bed/the sofa. Quite sad tbh. 

But you know what? It’s okay. Because we can’t always be on top of our game and it’s okay to have low/bad/sad days/weeks/months. The important thing is that you pick yourself back up and it doesn’t matter how long it takes just as long as you do it. Do it at your own pace.
