Wow, so I completed my thesis exhibition. When I was on the other side of completion it felt so daunting and that it was all going to fall apart. Thankfully, it didn’t. I’m relieved and I’m happy people took the time to look and talk about it. Yes, I know critique is a class and they have to, but I’m grateful I have thoughtful and supportive classmates and teachers. Yesterday was magical even though I was very much exhausted.
But….

I still need to finish writing the pesky thesis. Whoops! Sorry, Ben! Once I do that I’ll finally be free. Then I can inundate my senses with video games and plow through this apartment with a good and proper cleaning.
Simple pleasures post thesis:
Strawberry milk 🍓🥛
Hearty junk food 🍔🍟
Real sleep 🛌
Me trying to pretend I’m living in an aesthetically pleasing shoujo anime world while I eat junk food and filling up empty containers with bootleg product.
Is it bad I want to try coffee again despite it going badly last time? Maybe if I use the Starbucks grounds I won’t get jacked up (probably no logic in that statement but I really wish I could have some). Then again, it’s probably too soon to try since the last attempt. I also still have lingering weirdness from pulling an all nighter for thesis and need to actually sleep when it washes over me. I have no idea how I was able to consistently do that before. I still stay up late but not like that. It takes me so much longer to bounce back. Either way, I really have been enjoying strawberry milk so perhaps it could replace the caffeine craving, I could probably write a whole post on that alone. It’s pretty, it’s refreshing, reminds me of simpler times… ha.
For now, I’ll provide a link to my thesis images in this post as well as on the Welcome splash page. In the future I’ll take more installation shots and also have a slower paced video. And I almost forgot I still have my lovely mate to enjoy. I was pushing three cups leading up to thesis so now I can take it back to one now that the caffeine isn’t essential. Now I’m wondering what I could have for dinner… and how I go about finishing that thesis… ffffff. I was hoping to write a more thoughtful reflection on what happened yesterday but I’m still so tired, haha. I’ve spent most of today sleeping and eating, I’ll probably do that tomorrow too. But I can’t let myself play video games until my homework is done and that’s the most prominent thing on my mind right now. That and dinner. Guess I will make a cup of mate to help me. I wonder if I could finish tonight?
Don’t tell Ben but I’m thinking of finishing this paper and then sending him a completely different, hopefully superior one a little later. 👀
My Macbook’s storage filled up yesterday and I had to clear out a bunch of old documents and apps I haven’t looked at in years. I’ve also figured out that my phone and computer syncing with each other has made it so photos take up most of the space on this drive. I’ll have to do some spring cleaning there too. There’s plenty of things I don’t look at anymore but still hold onto even though they just take up space. I fantasize about it being magically taken care of for me while the things of worth are salvaged but that’s not how these things work. I’ll get to it eventually. It’d be really cool if I could invest in a good external drive but that seems like something I can wait on.
I also desperately need a shower and to wash my gross, sweaty sheets. They’ve reached the point of being a little too… off. I’m sure the breakouts on my already sensitive back are not a coincidence. Especially since it’s been so warm lately. Because that’s totally something people want to read and know about. 💁🏽♀️
