Recently I have been reading into Biopower and Biopolitics which finds its origins in Foucault. Agamben's "Homo Sacer" has been extremely interesting, especially because I wish to do some more research in Disability Studies. I am looking forward to reading Lennard J Davis.

🌧 my study and daily reflections☕
Tumblr media
☕ When I reconnected with my friend from my old uni last year, I was still in postgraduate school and feeling overwhelmed by my dissertation. I hadn't been writing consistently, and my motivation had dwindled. My friend, who happens to be a PhD researcher, shared some valuable advice with me. She suggested incorporating writing into my daily routine, starting right after waking up. Just like brushing your teeth is an instinctive action, she encouraged me to make writing a dissertation a natural part of that routine. Although it might be challenging initially, she assured me that it would gradually become easier. And she was right. I successfully passed my dissertation with a merit. So, I decided to apply this approach to my current study schedule as well.
☕ Random motivational quotes have personally been helpful to me, even if they may seem cliché. They truly made a difference in keeping me motivated. I make notes with these quotes and place them on my desk, so I'm reminded to stay focused on my progress every time I sit down to work.
☕ Studying helps me with depression. In a way, studying is kind of an escape for me, keeping me distracted from depression, but in a good way. I've noticed that I feel less and less depressed when I'm studying.
☕ Tidying up my desk before I go to bed and always ensuring that the kitchen looks tidy, including keeping the sink empty and washing dishes. Makes me feel motivated to prepare delicious food and make a cup of coffee before diving into my study time. It's exactly what I've been doing.

Candace Owens was working at HR at my new job. She gave me a saliva drug test and it came back positive. She decided it looked like a false positive and that it didn't matter. She then congratulated me on having a master's degree. I don't have a master's degree.

WHAT??? I was a fresher two minutes ago and now I'm booking postgrad open days like hello???? what???? but I can't say I don't love it because it's soooopo exciting and I love my subject. I'm also aiming more ambitiously in terms of the universities I'll be applying for (will have safeties ofc) so that's VERY motivating. so yeah !! eeeee!!!!!

📮 what i learnt in first semester of my master's degree in english literature 📮
friendo, here is what you need to remember for the upcoming months! (also this is applicable to literally any degree you're doing, ive just written it down recently)
put in work. put a lot of effort from your side and it'll be worth it. it'll show, I promise
ask for feedback!!!! ASK FOR FEEDBACK!! it's OK if the profs tear you part (they generally won't!) but keep asking: what could I have done better?
do more grunt work in the beginning: summaries, about the authors, about the eras — it'll save you a lot of time
write practice or mock tests and study using previous year question papers too. write the answers down.
buy/borrow/print all the books you need. ALL OF THEM!!
doing is the most difficult part. the act of actually studying and reading and writing is the most difficult part
but it'll also be the most fun part!
there are 2 kinds of uncomfortable: painful and non-painful. always choose the non-painful uncomfortable option!
when studying historical background, have some examples from the books of that Era as "proof"
doing my best = working towards retaining whatever you need to for how much ever long you need to (I.e for the exam) (didi gave me this definition and im so relieved)
it's not smart work OR hard work, it's smart work AND hard work
these are also things I struggled with. I struggled to define what im having trouble doing (point 6), what is "doing my best" (point 10), if all my studying/reading of books was me being a dumbass who doesn't know smart work (points 1 and 11)
I've literally copy-posted these from my notes because I thought this might help someone out? if nothing, here's my contribution to the studyblr lol

About time I started showing off some of my ongoing Master's Degree artwork! This was a mixed media piece based off of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee! Our project involved creating a series of visual outcomes inspired by a text we wrote. This text was to be about our experience with an image that resonated heavily with us at any time in our lives. And for me this was the Munch's Oddysee box art from when I was 6 years old. It opened my eyes to how weird and gross yet lovable a character or characters can be.

The urge to drop out of a master's degree I have not even started yet to run to the mountains, buy a cow, a small hut in the woods, some chickens, plant some blueberries and an apple tree and never look back is strong, but not enough to fight the urge to go and try, just try, see if it is like I have hoped, study, work, see if I can make it (my intrusive thoughts say I cannot, I am an imposter who got in by accident, please you are so pathetic, they say each time a new overwhelming email comes in. The urge to just disappear is getting strong as well).

I legitimately don't know which is the greater academic pain? Getting straight rejected from [x], or easily getting into [x] but being too poor to afford to actually go to [x]? Much to consider.

you're going to live alone for the first time at uni in just a few months!
how well do you think you'll handle that?
for me it went pretty poorly, because i had social anxiety going for groceries, and was too lazy to make myself food, until i was literally* starving
but you are a sibling, so that should be fine :)
I think I’ll be fine, my main concern is motivation - will I be able to eat and study without anyone coming in to my room to nag me? Eating, probably, because of hunger and a communal kitchen meaning it may even be a per day basis, like maybe Saturdays are my day to cook, so I’ll only have to scrounge for motivation one day per week, who knows. But for studying, that’ll be a lot harder, and is a lot harder to guess, because I just have to do it, and no one’s there to nag me or remind me. Right now I’m home alone playing street fighter instead of studying. To be fair, I have studied for about an hour, but still. I’m relying on my enjoying the content of the course to study, which probably isn’t a winning strategy. I genuinely will just have to get my head down - probably by doing schedules! When I think about doing schedules my main thought is that soon it’s going to be useless, but at the start of the term, that isn’t the case! So my first priority (or like after a week or two) is making a schedule, and being strict with myself. I doubt I’ll be able to survive without being strict with myself. Luckily my school’s been quite strict, but uni’s probably going to be quite hands off.
There’s also working - I have no motivation to work, whatsoever. I just don’t want a job, frankly. Even the small hour per week tutoring job can be a pain, imagine if it’s a multiple hour per week menial task job? Hell. Of course, I have no experience to tell if it would be hell, that’s all educated guesses and others’ experiences. Mum says I can use money as motivation, which I guess, but I doubt I’d be able to without seeing concrete evidence. A number going up isn’t going to do much when in a few months I’m going to get about £4000 and my whole conception of ‘lots of money’ is going to be permanently altered. So what I’m deciding to do is order the original Japanese manga of jojo’s bizzare adventure. I know it sounds silly, but you’re genuinely able to get them individually for quite cheap, and it’d be good Japanese practice too. Every hour I can think ‘alright that’s a chapter or two’ and I honestly think that would be quite motivating. I wonder how far I’d get into it! Would I be able to get up to date by the time uni ends? There are A LOT OF VOLUMES OF JOJO’S.
Anyway, thank you for caring about my well-being, and for letting me write down my thoughts. It is greatly appreciated!

Hello!
My good friend Durrah from Malaysia is raising money to fund her Master's degree in Italy!
She is an excellent and dedicated student and will do wonders in that program!
From her donation post:
"Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!
My name is Durrah and I am 25 years old. I am currently an offer holder for a Master's in European and Global Studies at the University of Padua, Italy and will be starting my program this October. Due to my outstanding achievement as an undergraduate, the university has funded 60% of the costs I would need to study there. However, I still need that 40% to make this dream come true!
I really need your support because I come from a B40 (Bottom 40%) family in Malaysia with a family income of just MYR2200/month. My father is the only breadwinner as my mother is a person with disabilities (PWD) on welfare and I have a younger brother still in school. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my father has used up his EPF funds to sustain our lives until he finally got a job in 2023. On our own, my family cannot afford to send me abroad but my father would like to see me go as I am the only child to graduate from university in the family.
The reason this Master's is important to me professionally is because during my undergraduate, I have developed a niche in security studies in the Southeast Asian region. I never realised my potential as a researcher until my second year thanks to the support of my lecturers. I enjoy researching the region and its international relations and security issues. Southeast Asia is dynamic and interesting and I want to keep discovering the region and understand how I can contribute to make it better. The path towards being an academician is one that I want to pursue and it will be difficult to do so without a Master's Degree."
So if you would like to donate please do ! Any amount helps!
If you can share the post or link around that would be amazing ! Thank you 😃
