january 12 /26 | happy new year everyone! School is back in full swing and there’s been mixups in classes and the general chaos of the first week back. I went to classes that didn’t happen, some classes didn’t know when they ended… it was a lot. I’m hoping I can have a more normal and consistent week this week 🙇‍♀️ how is everyone finding back to school is going for them?

I made the yummiest sandwich this morning!!

I did a LOT of household work today so I treated myself to a pumpkin scone and a cookie afterwards. It was one of those days where I knew I wouldn’t be able to get a lot of school work done so I pivoted to something else instead of just procrastinating on my phone instead. Even if I didn’t do much school work today, I did set myself up to get lots done tomorrow now that the house is all clean - if it’s messy around me I get quite anxious and I can’t focus. But now I feel a lot better! Chores go by so much faster with headphones and a podcast 🤍

  • Swept the house
  • Did two dishwasher cycles
  • Two loads of laundry
  • General picking-ups around the house
  • Cleaned the bathroom
  • Collected + took out all the garbage + recycling
  • Organized the pantry
  • Baked scones and cookies

To end my day, I’m having an arizona hard strawberry half and half and watching some nichijou :3

finished a dress that i started last summer & that i meant to wear during the heatwave we had back then. but it works as a skirt for ice skating too ⛸⛸

Not getting much done lately, giving myself a little break with language learning but planning to go all in starting January. I stumble upon a language challenge on Tiktok (that even has a discord sv, but ohwell no one else in +700 persons are learning finnish :'D) that I'll adapt and try to start with the New Year. Focusing on working on projects for my portfolio, and also reading a lot and playing stardew valley a lot.

Listened for music for a while and translated the lyrics of a song!

Even on my little trip I booked an online lesson lol, but they make me feel very productive and lowkey looking forward to them. So little midday class and then went out to see the christmas lights! Such a nice day ✨️

my sleep schedule is completely fucked and I haven’t seen daylight in like three days

ended up dropping one of the classes I initially registered for this term and got a late add into this intro to ethnic studies class

the first assignment is due today so I have a ton of reading to catch up on. me & my coffee against the world

January 8, 2026

Today my winter holidays end, and I start teaching again. It's been nice to have some time off and as we spent the holidays in Spain, I could disconnect completely. I am looking forward to school but I also want more time off... My nervous system feels a bit better than before the break and I'm scared to fall back into the unhealthy rhythm I had (which means always stressed, rushing, craving tons of sugar and always tired). Let's see how it goes...
