Hi, I'm Back Again!
Hi, I'm back again!
School has been intense recently, but I've (mostly) caught up with everything, so it should be smooth sailing for a few weeks now!
Speaking of sailing, and boats, and books, of course, I've started annotating my copy of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness for school. Hopefully rereading it won't be so confusing as the initial reading was.
The other photo above are of my notes on William Blake's poem The Little Black Boy, or rather notes on the essay Liberatory Christianity and the Perception of Race in "TLBB".
What I got done today:
Literature notes.
Literature annotating.
Biology revision.
Also, I apologise for my rather bad quality photos. Whenever I write these posts (or think about writing them) I always wish my camera was a little more sharp, or my skills a little more intuitive. It always quietly amazes me how study bloggers can manage to capture such beautiful shots.
But I suppose my own stumbling efforts do have their own unique flair; a sense of personal authenticity to them, that reflects the imperfect and the mundane, mirroring back the glamourless way life (and studying) so often plays out.
Well.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you're productive this week!

Hi all,
Honestly, I think this is the most regularly I've posted. The end of the exams are nearly in sight!
The above photos are of my frantic preparation for my Ancient History exam after realising I know less than half the syllabus—although I blame that on bad, very bad teaching this year. Also inconsistent teaching—my ancient history class has been fast becoming the real life equivalent of the Defence against the Dark Arts position at my school, with our teachers leaving after only a term or two.
What I've done in the past two days:
about 6 or 7 short answer questions
research for my ancient history exam
reading way too many academic articles for my brain to handle
If any other ATAR students are reading this, hopefully we can all end this exam season with a bang! Nearly there!
Thanks for reading, and I hope you're productive this week!
Everytime I get ahead of myself I remember that the first time I made microwave mac-and-cheese I burnt it so badly I'm pretty sure I sent it halfway to hell.
Honestly if any of my school teachers raises the bar anymore I'm gonna dislocate my arms.
Our friendship deader than the sea on which we sailed,
Too long ago on a cloudless night.
Maybe if I'd known better then, I would've paused,
And never let myself drift out of sight.
The fact that potassium nitrate is used in both ham and gunpowder is wild to me.
Fuck this shit I wanna go bike riding with my friends around the streets while the sun is setting and the ocean is sparkling and the trees are green.
Yellowed fragments of summer grass, The days are long but go too fast. Midnight moons light my dreams, Of mundanity found in the crowns of queens.
How often do you taste the wind on your face? Let it whip the leaves around you? Standing in a hurricane of nature, the creation not your own.
I'd rather that than a hurricane of worry. Each day I add another leaf to my pile. Taste it on my face as it wraps itself around me.
But for now, I shall not turn away when nature spins beside me.
