This is a true zero draft, first thing to come out to the page. A poet friend and I had a conversation yesterday in which we decided it might be better to write awfully and keep writing rather than waiting for something good.
my week can be summed up as productive, but only for classes i actually like. tried and still haven’t finished that damn report, but i consoled myself in reading woolf’s to the lighthouse and looking more into my lit classes, and the linguistics one. next week’s load of work is supposed to be lighter, thanks gosh because i need this family time in the countryside i’m suppose to have as of tomorrow.
tomorrow is my first day of online classes which is probably going to be super awkward and filled with problems rip. the country’s also going into a lockdown of some sort in the next week, but luckily for me, I rather like staying at home haha. this is the last spread from october 2018 when I was preparing for my hsc.
Final proofreading of this journal before it is published. I also came up with a title last weekend and it feels right, like it’s all finally coming together. I’m going to miss being a co-editor and spending so much time thinking about the Mediterranean (!) but mostly I am looking forward to being able to share this work at last 🌝
This past month (or longer, I think) I switched from regular, written journaling to audio journaling, and I thought it’d be great to share my experience: the practice, what I actually do, why I do it, and some things to think about if you wanna try it out.
I keep all my audio journals on the voice memos app on my phone, but if any of you know an alternate platform to do so, feel free to share!
Anyway, hope this helps, and as usual, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message or drop me an ask. Have an awesome week :)

[19/100 days of productivity]
i finally have the final versions of my HL English Lit&Lang coursework ft. my lancaster offer letter and extra details arrived today! the weather was phenomenal too but i stayed in and practised my juggling skills (currently: a work a progress)
I found an old train ticket in this second hand book I bought a while ago.
I’m wondering who was so passionate about studying Romanticism on a train from Milano to Trieste on 11th april 1988. Were they returning from holidays and studying for an exam? Or were they doing research for their thesis?
