my second Master's Degree is officially COMPLETE!! these past two years at Warwick University were a rich immersion in the art of poetry & in the practice of literary translation. milestones achieved have been:
completing my dissertation, entitled "Rendering Sacred Texts: Ethics and the Question of Untranslatability", in which i explored the practice of translating sacred texts and the intricate issues it presents in the field of translation studies, mainly posed by the dilemma that is the hypothesis of an intrinsically sacred quality to languages such as Sanskrit or Latin. i argued that in the case of non-dual traditions, the subsequent question, of whether translation would defile the text, is incongruent with the philosophy & cosmology the text is rooted in. i used the Lalitāsahasranāma, a central hymn of Śrīvidyā, as a case-study.
conducting my poetic research centred on bhakti or devotional poetry, a genre of Indian poetry which worships the Divine as the Beloved. i worked on two bhakti collections: "odes to the Monsoon One" and "the Monsoon One and the pilgrim", which explore a woman’s mystical journey. written as a response to the lingering legacy of female exclusion from spirituality that is present literature, the poetry rebels against misogynistic religious texts thematically, through female-centred imagery deifying the demonised body, through the subversion of elements of oppression such as motifs of marriage. the Divine is worshipped in my poems as a lover. i argued that for as long as remnants of a religious culture exclusive of women persist in South Asian literature and practice, for so long will bhakti poetry be needed for devotional rebuttal.
more on this soon! i am hoping for these to be published in 2024 or 2025. 
i extend my gratitude to my extraordinary professors: my supervisors Dr. Jodie Kim & Rosalind Harvey; Professor David Morley, as well as Dr. Chantal Wright, who generously & expertly encouraged and guided me, as well as expressed genuine interest in my work - interest which i especially appreciated when my work took unconventional routes!
as this chapter ends, a new one at Edinburgh begins! onward!

The Good Omens 2 countdown posts are so exciting! But also! My final MSc assignment is due the week before so each time I see one I am reminded of how much work I still have to do! And it's sort of torture!

february language goals (+ january review) ❤️
hi everyone! ♡
a quick life update, as always, before i start; i finally had my graduation ceremony back in London (pictured above) which was quite nice (the food they offered was surprisingly good too) but cold af. i’m back in germany till further notice. i do have a (remote) job now, luckily enough a company that i worked for last summer contacted me to work for them again!! i honestly don’t know why i didn’t get as much done as i thought i would of have. :( i did still help out in the family business quite often this month but since i got a new job it decreased so i only help out now once every other week. hopefully i get more of active revision and learning done this month.
my current languages:
french (A2)
dutch (A1)
edo
it might not be the right move but nonetheless, i will be adding edo to my language rotation till further notice.
but lets review my january language goals ♡:
maintain a 30 days duolingo & busuu streak (59 days on duolingo & 22 days on buusu)
write and finish the digital journal entry (notion) about my birthday trip in both french & dutch (not completed)
work through ‘Niederländisch Wort für Wort’ to and incl. chapter ‘Dieses & Jenes’ (not completed)
finish ‘UNIT TWO: Modal auxiliary verbs’ in ‘Dutch Basic’ (not completed)
write down all dutch vocabularies up to and incl. the numbers on digital dialects (website) (not completed)
write down all french vocabularies up to and incl. the numbers on digital dialects (website) (not completed)
finish ‘Articles’ in ‘CliffsQuickReview French 1’ (not completed)
write my first entry in my workbook about basic information about myself in both french & dutch (not completed)
watch 5 easyfrech & easydutch youtube videos (yes)
watch the remaining episodes of s1 miraculous (netflix) (yes)
as you can see i did not do much of any active learning this month just passively, however, i will keep a note of these goals and still try to do them.
here are my february language goals ♡:
maintain a 30 days duolingo & busuu streak
watch 5 easyfrench & easydutch youtube videos
watch the remaining episodes of s1 represent (netflix)
watch the remaining episodes of s1 misfit: die serie (netflix)
start watching another french series (netflix) e.g. ‘the circle: france’
start watching another dutch series (netflix) e.g. ‘die goldene stunde’
work through the lessons 1 - 5 in ‘The Complete French Self-Study Guide’ (eBook)
start to watch ‘Learn French in 5 Days # Day 1’ up until ‘Le verb s’appeler (32:27)’ (youtube)
create a language learning plan for edo
watch the 9 edo videos save in the watch later playlist (youtube) and take notes
watch 1 edo movie
listen to all episodes of ‘Let’s Edo’lize it: An Edo Language Podcast’ (spotify)
listen to all episodes of ‘The Great Benin Empire’ (spotify)
start the side blog
i was also thinking of creating a side blog but only for language learning but i will only be posting content about african languages, nigerian languages to be specific bc i noticed there is not a lot of info on certain languages, so it would be nice to gather them and put them in one place for future references. i will still be posting my language goals on this blog tho.
also, i know i mention i will post my past & current resources list, which i will do but i still need to edit it bc it's kind of all over the place, either way that will be my next post!
best wishes,
mars the prinzess xx

I am officially 1-month postgrad and because I found it VERY hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when I was in grad school I want to share what has changed since. Here's everything I have noticed or that's changed for me in the 30 days I've officially been a person with a master's degree.
I am making crafts, art, and writing. I found it very difficult to write or make anything when in grad school. But as of like 2 weeks or so ago I have made a fairly large pile of crafts and have plans for more. I don't feel too scared to do it now and it doesn't feel like too much pressure to relax.
I have signed my first publishing agreement. This was something in-progress before I graduated but my essays will be published (currently a tentative agreement for 5 minimum) in the next year. I have a stack of about 10 abstracts to submit also and think by 2025 I'll probably have 15ish publications out or coming up.
My migraines halved. I have a chronic migraine condition that has no "known" cause. I am on monthly injections to prevent them and I take acute meds with every migraine I get. My migraines are roughly 1/2 as frequent as when I started grad school.
I don't want to cry or die 24/7. My grad school experience was so bad that I found it very hard to not crumble into a pile of dirt 24/7. A decent portion of this was the specific issues of my school and what happened during my program. While all my woes aren't cured, a large amount of them are. I did not realize how much of my stress was grad school, it was at least 3x as much as I thought.
My chronic health issues have largely gotten worse. In particular my bladder disease and endometriosis. I had my second ever excision surgery vaguely planned for sometime in the next year, I had to move that date up to ASAP. My body lost a lot of its stressed which caused my chronic health issues to come rushing back even harder it was like holding a plate for 2 years. Your hand wouldn't hurt in the end but the minute you let go of the plate you discover you have developed carpal tunnel.
I won't do updates like this very often but when I was in grad school it was so hard to conceptualize my life after graduation. I looked for posts like this and I hope this can help someone or just amuse someone. I'll probably do like a 6 month and 1 year update too!

Hello!
I don't really know what to write here but hello all! My name is Annie and I'm 23. I'll be using this blog to share my thoughts and experiences as a graduate student who wants to get a PhD in genetics someday!
I'm not really in a Master's program at the moment, but I graduated Pharmacy School and I'm taking courses on genetics to help me in my journey of getting a degree in genetics.
I'm greatly interested in evolution (this was just an expected result of my obsession with genetics) so I will also use this blog to explain how it works to curious souls.
So...I think this works as a first post...I guess? I would love to meet you all.
