Moved Into My New Apartment Yesterday And Woke Up To This Beautiful Lighting.

cd | What do you do to reset your week? ⬇️

Since I switched to paper planning I basically transfer the weekly sched I made for the class to my planner (I print it since there’s ALOT) and then add personal things I want to do that week.

Other than planning, I clean the apartment to prep for the week bec who knows what storm might come and when I’ll be able to clean again 😭 I also re-stock my fridge (one of my fave things!). Simple chores ground me, keeps me sane and make me feel like my life has some semblance to normalcy. I also spend time with my dog and journal when I could for some weekly reflection.

Of course, these are the things that take little time — things that took years to hone with time management. Most of my “reset” day as a med student are still spent prepping for Monday’s exam, which is pathology. 🥲

We do what we can, right? 😂

09.02.22// had a really productive week so far - wrote a huge chunk of one of my term papers, and researched some more for my phd expose!

listening to: tokio hotel bad love

you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.

The life I want to be living is this: going for long autumn and winter walks listening to podcasts, coming back home to a flat with enough natural light and the ability to get fresh air, my environment and belongings being clean and organised, running a hot bath to read in and feeling the water heat up my chilled bones, working on my own projects and writing, cooking nutritious and tasty food, having a comfortable sofa to sit on in the evenings.
