finally finished my yonsei university online korean course! spent about 4-5 hours studying today. there’s nothing else going on so might as well be a bit productive
So I saw this random amazing person @alfalfaaarya and her productivity streak and since I'm also on a detox+productivity streak since 1st of this month myself I though why not journal it here.(I was doing it on notion till now).
Day 1 : (organic chem + photosynthesis)
Keeping the sleepiness aside, I'm gonna try to make the best of today and also because I have absolutely 0 motivation to study. So time to push extra hard and tap into the intrinsic motivation ! Let's goooooooo
on the 21st i remember waking up pretty early lolz ! i had no lectures and was pretty determined to have a productive day. tried to go to the gym but since my gym is small and people were in there i chickened out lmao. then i made some coffee and put a shit ton of cinnamon on top because christmas vibes. tasted kinda mid tho but it’s ok :’) ….then i hit the library and started off my study session by reviewing differentiation and integration (which I struggled with and gave up on after like 30 min 🤠) and then proceeded to look through my econs finals paper to analyse my mistakes and come up with a plan to avoid them. ended the session with a geog lecture that had been in my backlog for a while now. treated myself with a white choc macadamia cookie from subway after :)
🌸: "Are you crazy? You'll seriously get sick if you don't stop messing around."
Malleus halted the heated kisses he was peppering across 🌸's shoulders, but kept his smoldering gaze unfaltering and true.
🐉: "Do you dislike it?"
🌸: "No... But you're gonna catch my fever..."
🐉: "Then do not think too much. I am not such a common creature to be brought down by a measly cold."
Then he advanced to 🌸's neck, making sure to plant teasing nips that enticed hot shivers on warm skin. 🌸 wasn't sure if the goosebumps were from his cold lips or from the actual cold. His tongue was surprisingly soothing and pleasurable.
🐉: "You do not have to do anything... You do not have to move an inch, even. Simply let me love you."
That accursed tongue did not settle for only the neck.
- The next day... -
🦇: "Oh dear, look at you. You haven't had a fever since you were a toddler. And that was when you ate so much ice cream and suffered from tonsillitis."
🦇, placing an ice pack on the boy's forehead: "Did you eat too much again?"
🐉: "Oh, I ate very well, indeed."
And then the fae prince cackled loudly. Lilia observed him with concern, but shook his head while fetching a fever medicine from the medicine box.
Woke up at 6am, made a bunch of plans for the month , week and day. Really feeling the productivity today. To all my millions of fans and followers, I'm back on track babyyy! Let's rock this day to the best of our abilities. Peace✌️
wow, a post that’s actually on time! today was the day i had to slap myself into entering a season of productivity. it really is crunch time because if i don’t get into the ‘grindset’ (cringe, i know) now, i fear it will be too late. i have one more month to lay my foundations before year 2 starts, and it’s going to be so hectic and awful and stressful… im just dreading it. i can’t believe 2021 is coming to an end, this year was actually insane and my life changed so much. I’ve been feeling quite overwhelmed (lol what’s new) just thinking about how i have to start taking my career choices seriously, and signing up for a 5 day law webinar that commenced this week is not helping my case lmao. but I’ve learnt a lot about the legal profession, and it’s making me more driven (i hope). anyway, above is a short study session i forced myself to do after my course, and for dinner i had fried rice topped with green onions, spicy chilli oil, spicy prawn, fried onion and garlic salt and the flavours were such a 10837382/10 im smiling just thinking about it. ok that’s all for today, gonna get my beauty sleep now, bye!
from The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence and Cultural Restitution, by Dan Hicks.
[Image ID: The book has been written with this motto in mind: as the border is to the nation state so the museum is to empire. Like the border uses space to classify, making distinctions between different kinds of human, so the museum uses time. Like the telegraph, the camera and the disciplines of archaeology and anthropology themselves, the museum seeks to annihilate time and space, to weaponise distance. Like the camera, the museum does not freeze time but controls exposure, measures out duration. A time of taking is giving way to a time of returns, like the gun that shoots twice, a second moment is coming. From the outset, therefore, we need a theory of taking. /end ID]
