{Notes of the day: Exam season is approaching and I must start actually dedicating myself to my studies, though I feel I could have done better with all the assignments for this semester there is still time for improvement during the next one. I’ll return to my country soon for holidays so I must plan my revision and exercises carefully. I am also planning on obtaining a copy of the Corpus Hermeticum from the library soon… I have already a copy myself but it is a really old translation and I hope to gain a new perspective upon the text with Brian P. Copenhaver’s work.}

Some pictures I took of the moon during a stargazing trip!

I cannot remember the last time I was in such a harmonious place, with nearly no light pollution hiding the stars away from my eyes.

Looking up at the night sky you can’t help yourself but find some morsels of reason within the deification of the heavens by the ancients, their cheer presence - too otherworldly to give you the impression of being from this realm.

{Notes of the day: after leaving my home country and coming back for university exams I have regained some sudden sense of productivity that tends to turn off whenever I’m back in the homeland, perhaps it is the free coffee machine in the study lobby or perhaps it is the fact that I’m completely alone and have nothing beside library books and rainy streets to save me from boredom’s subjugation. Who knows, really. Tomorrow shall finally be New Year’s Eve, might go buy some cheap wine and tell myself I deserve it.}

{Notes of the day/2 : had to go back to my room to get some more water and textbooks in the middle of a study session and when I came back some random guy was seated at the table already filled with all of my study materials. It was a weird interaction. He stayed there even after I sat down and continued doing my work while he was on his phone the entire time. He just got up out of nowhere and left. I’ll never make a single friend in this residence at this point. I’m like that Lilo & Stitch meme but instead of an angel I just ask for a good conversationalist.}
