last week I finally started my PhD program! it's so surreal to be here. how long have I daydreamed about my first day of class? was it really six months ago that I came to visit campus for the first time? despite the high intellectual demand, everything feels more chill than my undergrad experience. instead of pouring my every fiber of being into making the grade, my entire purpose is instead steeping my mind in new ideas and becoming a better scientist. and despite the stress, that's an incredibly relaxing shift.

Why do I need to listen to some professor emeritus harp about how many patents he fucking owns and "you don't want to patent something that's not economically viable" (vomit) when I can just read more Royai fic by authors who actually contribute to society

(Currently reading: East City Files)

Hi all, since I’m going to be starting a Master’s in Library Sciences this fall I’d love to have more study content to follow! I myself post a mix of study content, books and libraries, as well as old illustrations and whatever else seems like it would fit on my little aesthetic blog. 🌹 I graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor’s in English with minors in German and Creative Writing and currently work as a page at my local library. Sorta returning from a hibernation and planning on posting more and more to motivate myself again. Would love if you could like or reblog if you post similar things! Would love to meet some more folks on here!

Hey older graduates in the US who've aged out of their parents insurance:

How do you afford health insurance while going to school? Do you go on medicare? What if you don't qualify for medicare?

every time i try a new indian dish, they're always better than the last one. today was malai kofta and it's just....so so good. literally indian cuisine does not miss.

pending course registration due to not being able to find my immunization records until i went out on a limb and asked my undergrad university if they still had them and they did! alleluia. the graduate experience has been so nice in comparison -- i have my own personal guidance couselor who registers me for my classes, makes sure all my financials are in order, lets me know if there are networking events to go to etc. the whole process has been amazing and i'm literally so ready to go to school. the executive education department has their own building and it's so high-tech and quiet and private.

i also (yay!) got my promotion & raise! pending transition between departments and finding someone to take my place. there are already some colleagues coming to me with interest in taking over my offices, which is amazing. the sooner i can start, the better.

for the first time in a long time, i have a true 5 year plan with steps made to get there. it feels wonderful. i don't do well without any sort of structure.

next big step is getting a car. used car prices are insane rn, which makes things a bit difficult, but the raise should definitely help.

anyway, pictured above is my cat dolores and (maybe) john harvard (it's a long story.)

if you're interested in graduate school for the classics, but don't know where to start, try the SCS page listing North American schools which have classics graduate programs

the AIA has a similar page for schools with archaeology and ancient art history graduate programs

remember! you should never have to pay for a graduate degree in classics. this is already a field with grim job prospects. don't make it worse for yourself; look for programs that are fully funded

#speaking from experience as someone who is in a fully funded program. i still struggle to afford groceries #i wouldnt be able to do graduate school if i had to pay out of pocket #academia #resources #archaeology #classics #graduate studies #tagamemnon

going to sleep at 4am and waking up at 8am is just grad school things

Don’t ask me to do anything, it’ll take me 3 business years to process the request

I don't know when it happened but I don't get excited for Friday anymore. In the Before Grad School Times I'd get this "Finally! I made it!" feeling on Thursday nights. Even if I didn't have major weekend plans, just chilling at home, maybe play some video games and try a new recipe.

Nowadays I don't get that feeling anymore, it's like Thursday nights have lost their charm. Sometimes I don't even realize that the week is ending.

Not sure if it's due to my current location (Kansas) or the grad school grind or both. Most likely both.

041623 | long overdue updates!

it has been quite a while since i last updated. i had a horrible first semester of grad school, and spent this semester really trying to fix that! i wen through the medical withdrawal process and managed to do well so far. one class is a pass/fail class which helps a lot, and the other one is an introductory class so it's not as rigorous. other than that, school is pretty steady now! i'm taking the summer off to hopefully work or do an internship for a little bit (:

i am set to take a normal course load next semester, which i hope i can keep up with. i'm going to keep in touch as often as i can and hopefully save up enough to get all my appointments done and get adequate paperwork for some disability accommodations next semester. thankfully, one class is synchronous online, and another class is only meeting in-person every other week! it really helps me to not have to leave the house every week and just be comfortable at home.

anyway, i'm updating my theme (the struggle to find a cute and functioning one) and about section a bit! the biggest edits were adding links to show the planner i am using for 2023 and that i started bullet journaling! i'm not too great at it, and it's really just a book of "trackers" (i track things like video game daily logins, medical stuff, and my mood) but i hope maybe next year i can add a sort of scrapbook component to it! also, i made a cute things side blog! :D

as for my personal updates, i'll put those under the cut!

i have been doing okay! health-wise, i am doing quite badly, and upgraded from a cane to a walker (everyone thinks it's unfortunately comedic, because for years i called myself a little old lady, and now i really resemble one!). i also got a platinum pass to seaworld because it is a really happy place for me lately (love to go through it at my own pace, watch some shows, eat some park food, and just in general sit around it lol).

i'm seeing two of my partners soon! they're coming to visit and we're going to have a lot of fun i hope! i have an awful complex about living where i do, so i'm trying very very hard to make their stay nice. it's hopefully going to help me power through finals and inspire me to save up to visit them in the summer/early autumn too.

some random thoughts to end this post: i'm loving two songs a lot right now, nmixx's love me like this and ive's i am. they're both different overall vibes but they are both so fun to me! i also have been playing a lot of virtual jigsaw puzzles and just finished two 1000+ piece ones, and starting a new one. i am really loving sticker-by-number books too! i'm currently doing a dog one and it's so cute!!
