weeknotes 12
from may 31 to june 6, 2026
hello, friends.
it's weird, i opened up my dashboard thinking i was behind two weeknotes. turns out i wasn't! time is flying weirdly now that i get more and more engrossed with work. i know, i know. i keep mentioning work. i guess i'm really leaning into this new major driver of my routines nowadays because i've been unemployed for 10 months after graduation, and within those months i've done nothing but freefloat.
so finally, yeah! some structure in my days. aside from learning the ropes, i'm also trying my best to keep in touch with my hobbies. this week i crocheted a little coaster for my desk that turns into a small succulent when not used. i also got back to reading, which i'm slowly doing and loving every second of.
i'm also getting some career inspiration from my colleagues at work. this week i did a mental note to self to start studying for the RMicro certification exam again, because i'd want that attached to my name. i'm also looking to (bit more clearly now) start master's perhaps in a couple of years, and then to phd, hopefully!
have a nice week ahead!
media i've consumed this week:
- books
- sourdough by robin sloan ✰ my best friend and i FINALLY started a two-person book club and this is our first ever book of the month
- the hunger games by suzanne collins ✰ i recently sold my kindle and won't have a new e-reader until next month, maybe. i realized i could no longer read on my phone like the champ i was back in 2021, so i've been picking up physical books from my shelf. this is a reread, though! i miss my everdeen babies
- games
- stardew valley ✰ update: i've got a greenhouse full of strawberries lined with dehydrators. apegods pls grant me at least just one ancient seed, pls pls
- lost in play ✰ i enjoy this so much but i fear i've bumped into a wall i'm too stupid to know how to break down
- music
- my classic opm playlist, my 2016 depression playlist, and my hunger games playlist called 'you love me. real or not real?'
- tv
- rewatches of random brooklyn 99 episodes while i eat
