Omg it has been super busy for me the past few days. I've started a new job that pays more than my old ones so I'm currently trying to get used to that as well as working on everything for finals season. Currently, I'm a bit behind on my English research, but I'm hoping I can be mroe caught up tomrorow so I am much more prepared for Wednesday.

On a brighter note, I've been drinking iced coffee and iced chai lattes lately and it is definitely one of those thigns that I can consider to be something that keeps me on this early just a little longer. I've been experimenting with brands that have the cold foam that come in a whipped-cream style can as a way to top off my drinks (so far they're amazing).

My latest joys:

Chai lattes

Iced coffees right when I wake up

Cuddling with my cat at night

Getting to work with dogs at my new job

My recent accomplishments:

Spring cleaning

Turning in assignments on time

Taking lots of notes

Work/School balance

Self-care

Local coffee shop friend date a few days ago with @hyperfixation-hopscotch . They got a 24 oz vanilla caramel coffee blendy, and a sausage, egg and asiago cheese bagel with garlic mayo. I got a 24 oz iced vanilla chai latte and a gluten free blueberry muffin. The gluten free options are new! And i am very excited for them to get more in so i can enjoy their baked goods again :)

Iced chai latte to help me cool down from breaking down the plastic greenhouse ☕️

I’ve been dog/house sitting but I needed to do some garden chores so I came home to do that and see my own dogs :)

I’ve been meaning to upload videos of the garden (I keep making them) but tumblr hasn’t been wanting to upload them, it tries and tries for over an hour and it still won’t post. By the time I think to try again things have grown another inch and the videos are out of date haha. I’ll try again soon!

Me: *Attempting to make an iced chai latte @ home*

My tiny gremlin brain: hnggg mmm coffee !!!

Me: no, not coffee.

Brain: look like coffee ????

Me: but it’s not

Me: *taking a sip*

My brain: THIS ISNT COFFEE THIS ISNT COFFEE WTF WTF

Me: I told you

Enjoying my last day before school starts again!

kim is such a funny little guy like he emphasizes how little the rcm salary is when you ask about it (5500 reál annually- 460/mo) but here he is with his nice electronic sports watch and his little instant camera and his fancy revolutionary cosplay for plainclothes and he's living in the GRIH which can't be cheap and he's got his fancy little mnemotechnique notebooks which are like the moleskine of elysium i guess and his fancy little ballpoints that he does NOT want to share with you which i bet is because they cost him like a week of salary. and this is the rcm he's not getting stipends for supplies or watches or housing or probably even the gas for the kineema. poor as fuck but he is going to buy himself his little treats god damn it. if he lived in our world you know he'd be out getting himself a $9 vanilla soy milk half caf dirty chai iced latte every morning on the way to the station and eating instant noodles every night to claw out room in the budget for it

underrated love language i had forgotten about: "the cat is sitting on you funny. I need you to appreciate how funny he looks from my angle. I know you're sitting right next to me but I'm gonna take a picture and send it to you."
