It’s a rant about my confused state of mind the day before my graduation ceremony (a year and a half overdue).

I turned 25 – 2023 is here (duh)
Yeah, I know, surprise! As I’m writing this, it’s just past 10pm and I’m sitting on a Southern train to Brighton from East Croydon. I spent the last two weeks in Poland, mostly chilling at home, buying books, drinking coffee with various people in various places, and marvelling at how brown, grey, and yet stillContinue reading “I turned 25 – 2023 is here (duh)”
My greatest success
As I sit down in the Jubilee Library to write this post, WordPress prompts me: “What is your favourite cartoon?” Dude, what does this have to do with my greatest success? But, to be fair, what I am going to write about has a little to do with cartoons. Because living in Brighton can feelContinue reading “My greatest success”
Varsity jackets, sunsets, busy autumn
As you might have noticed, lately this blog has been mostly personal updates rather than actual 🐺🍧 cσ𝓝ⓉẸN𝕋 🐠😝! The reasons for this are multiple… I’ll recount the most direct ones. A) Almost two months ago I started teacher training which finally filled my days with lots of hours of supervised work and got meContinue reading “Varsity jackets, sunsets, busy autumn”
Quick update 30/6/22
I’ve not written for ages, and I’ve got some very good excuses. Most of May I tried to spend every single moment getting my uni assignments done. My last deadline was 31st May, so May felt pretty busy. Besides, I started kind of seeing someone in May, so aside from uni work I was seeingContinue reading “Quick update 30/6/22”
Writing from the basement
I often write posts on here from a basement. It’s a basement at Pavilion Parade, Brighton, because it’s a place where you can sit down and it’s pleasant and isn’t a beach so you can use a laptop. The other place where you can sit down and it’s nice is the beach, but it’s notContinue reading “Writing from the basement”
Brighton Half-Marathon 2022
Oh, what a day it has been. Fresh from the outdoors and inside my flat now, I’ve just returned from a day out that began at 4.30am when I woke up, through 5.33am when I boarded the 25 bus and 6.09am when I turned up at the volunteers’ tent, to 2pm when my volunteering jobContinue reading “Brighton Half-Marathon 2022”
Not good news
I may or may not have slept two hours last night and gotten up at 5am because I was sick of not sleeping so I just started my day super early. While it was still dark. For, like, the next two and a half hours. I was surprised by how long it took to getContinue reading “Not good news”
Personal update 17/2/22
It’s wild that my last post is from 20th January, since I’ve had so many ideas for things to write about and have been collecting so many photos and images to illustrate all these things. I guess it’s the tiny bit of perfectionism in me that doesn’t let me finish a post without getting everythingContinue reading “Personal update 17/2/22”
Focus is the bluest colour
I can’t express to you how much I hate food sections in the newspapers. And potlucks. God, potlucks are the worst — it’s a curse that they seem to be the easiest form of student socialisation, as they happen in my residence hall all. The. Time.
Semester 1 – in pictures
I merged a bunch of stock images into a collage that partly describes the visual impression of my first semester, year three. Just because I like it when things are visual – that’s right, visual, not quantified – and I like to reflect on my time on Earth. I find it quite therapeutic. The ‘quantified’ reference isContinue reading “Semester 1 – in pictures”
