So... I owe my mom around 10,000 pesos 😅 Been semi-mindlessly buying stuff from Amazon thinking I have enough money till the end of the year. Turns out... I may not have enough left in my bank account by November!! So glad I put aside PHP10k and USD200 in my cashbox. I still gotta buy my brother's, dad's, and sister-in-law's Christmas gifts!

For the first time in... ever? ... I'm feeling excited about my thesis. Even if I don't 100% love the topic, I'm really interested in the subject matter of feudalism and oligarchy and the 2 novels I chose will allow me to discuss both those things. Kinda pisses me off that

Wow. I spent over 12 hours doing thesis research today. Mostly reading, a little writing, and downloading of a couple new books. I feel tired but not exhausted. So strange.

Went to the library to checkout books for thesis today... The ONE book I was MOST excited to borrow:

The "Checked In" one is in the Filipiniana section so I can't bring it home T_T

RAWR KARMAAA

In the meantime... Thesis is going much better than the last year. I haven't made any significant progress with regard to finding a theoretical framework to support my thesis but... I at least don't feel like quitting every day anymore. And my thesis adviser now is SO. MUCH. BETTER. Seriously. Night and fuckin day.

Must... remember... to post... for... karma!

I wonder if it’s normal to have to wait for a longish time before getting a reply from your thesis adviser... I haven’t heard from my new one yet after emailing him :/ Honestly dunno where to begin now with this idea that never really got any support from my old adviser, Professor Dickhead.

Noooooouuu T_T Delayed by 2 days

Man I’ve been so idle the past month. Hope things pick up once this coming sem starts. Kinda like a fresh start. New sem, new adviser. Who might actually be supportive and helpful.
