learning from the reblogs of that post that there's a lot of people out there under the impression that "kill your darlings" means "kill your characters" and that's the funniest possible interpretation of that phrase

And, just like this, we are back in the groove.
After a slow start to the day i managed to get some important tasks done. No progress on essays I need to write, but I've made plans to meet up with a friend at the library tomorrow, so I hope I'll make some progress then.
I edited an essay for my professor and nearly went crazy over it. I enjoy editing a lot and I am very grateful I get to take part in a project, even if it's just in a really small way. But got damn, that one was not pleasant to work through. It used a citation style I am not very familiar with and then didn't even use that one consistently. I had to ask the other student assistant for help. He's been doing the job for a while and he's being very patient and nice, but it was quite anxiety inducing. I am very grateful for his help, tho, and I hope I'm not causing him too much of a hassle.
Besides that today was just more of the usual. Watched Peaky Blinders and am currently getting some reading in before bed.
Positive things I did today:
kept the duolingo spanish streak going
cooked a meal
got some admin work done
did edeting
watched Peaky Blinders with a friend
continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front
Hours slept: ~9hrs Screentime: 7hrs Steps taken: ~100 (very rainy, no walk for me :(( )

Not the greatest day, which becomes evident when you take a look at my screen time. But that's alright, because sadness is temporary and there are a thousand things that make life beautiful.
I cheered up a bit in the evening and started watching Peaky Blinders with a friend. Needless to say, Oppenheimer has impacted us in a certain way.
Positive things I did today:
kept the Duolingo Spanish streak going
finished history of witch hunts revision
did the dishes
Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 11hrs (actually mortified at this) Steps taken: ~220
Aurora's concert in Madrid was amazing!!! Seeing her live has changed my life. Listening to her powerful and lovely voice, seeing her making eye contact with me... I'm just grateful to be alive

More literature review and spending lots of time outside.
Building and keeping routines has always been a struggle for me. It works during the semester because I build my personal routine (when to get up, when to have food, when to do chores) around my classes, but during the semester break it all falls apart :') So for the past week I've been making an effort to get up at a reasonable time and head outide right after getting ready. It's done wonders both for my productivity as well as my mental health
Positive things I did today:
kept the duolingo Spanish streak going
continued literature review
continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front
went for a walk
Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 5hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~8.900
saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as "girl math" ......why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop
My biggest collage to date~
