only took me half the semester, but i'm finally feeling a little more motivated to study!! + reminiscing over last summer when i could actually go places and not have to do schoolwork
110620. had a (covid-safe) painting zoom with people in my dorm as a study break— paint is a medium i struggle with a lot, but i gave this sculpture of diana by giuseppe mazza a shot. i didn't love it at first, but i'm coming around to it now, i think!
‘nocturne op. 9 no. 2’ by chopin but you’re in a hotel lobby avoiding the rain on a cold night in an unfamiliar city, captivated by the soft piano music that reminds you of home. (youtube)

picked up some fresh tulips today, decided they deserved their own post + a few pics of my bedroom. i forgot how lovely it is to have flowers nearby :)
sometimes my only source of motivation comes from my desk area

one of those weeks where i set up the weekly spread on a wednesday
i was tagged by the amazing Nah ( @a-poeticallychaotic-bee )!! ♡
relationship status: i’ve been dating my partner for a bit over a year!
fave colors: in terms of fountain pen ink colors i’m obsessed with—diamine golden sands (yellow ochre), iroshizuku kon-peki (deep blue), and diamine oxblood (a deep dark red)
3 fave foods: milk tea with boba (is that a food?), poke, and vegetarian lasagna
a song stuck in my head: thillana in sindhu bhairavi by bombay jayashree! absolutely amazing. here is a link for you because you need to listen as well
last song I listened to: i’ve been listening to a lot of harmonium music lately, so probably something off a generic ‘harmonium music’ playlist on spotify :p don’t @ me i know i’m wack
time: 6:25pm
dream trip: japan or the scottish highlands!! i feel like i’ve seen these places in so many novels and films and photographs and i want to experience them for myself and learn about the languages & culture of the regions i visit within them!
anything I want: my paycheck to come today so i’m not living off $11.48 :’) world peace would be nice, too, but i won’t get too greedy here. maybe more empathy, all around.
tagging some new mutuals/followers: @bookishdia @durd @leilanistudies @mathandmilktea @studywithlili @gabrilearnelle @bookbearstudy @outerhope @procrastilate @sonderstudy ♡♡
*sits down*
dont you think its weird. dont you think its weird that the space race last time was two of the biggest powers in the world. and now its a handful of rich men. dont you think its weird they can afford that. dont you think its bad that rich men can afford the same things as the government.
dont you think its weird that while the world is suffering and poverty is everywhere, where there's wars and climate change and human pain and homelessness. the same month I've watched people die on the news from unbearable heat and unprecedented flooding. that a rich handful of men are going to space, causing more carbon emissions. dont you think its weird that instead of putting their vast amount of money to use for good they're using it to find a way off the planet theyre destroying.
dont you think its really fucking weird.
