getting my workspace nice and tidy for a productive day of math studies! hopefully will get topic 1 fully revised today.

Two things I’m working on today: I am the head editor of a special edition of the Goldsmiths literature journal (GLITS), so I’m currently checking over peer review sheets and manuscript feedback from our board of editors. 

I am also writing questions for an event I’ve been putting together as part of Alternative Careers Week at Goldsmiths, which is a conversation about the challenges facing prospective academics between myself, Dhanveer Brar, Beth Guilding, Jake Hall, Akanksha Mehta and Roberto Mozzachiodi.

You can find the details of the event here: Is a Career in Academia Worth it?

it’s the fourteenth of october and i woke up to snow and sunlight

Zoomester Studyblr Challenge

Hi! I’m not a big creator on here but I always see Studyblr Challenges and I try my best to always take part (even tho i fail halfway) but this is my last semester at uni and I wanted to do a little something something. 

Info

This challenge is starting on March 1st and contains 31 prompts (one per day of the month) but feel free to take part at any given time! 

I initially aimed this challenge for all my struggling last semester/grad school/ thesis writing people BUT honestly, whatever your grade, this zoomester is crazy as it is.

If you do the challenge, use the tag #zoomester studyblr challenge so that it is easier for me to track posts and that way other people can also track and reblog!

Aims

This is lowkey my way of getting to know some more of you beautiful hardworking people.

Times are still hard so perhaps participating and getting to know people from the tags can be comforting for some people.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re new to the studyblr community or have been on here for a while and would like a safe space to insert yourself, here it is. 

Rules

If you want to do this challenge, please reblog this post

There are daily prompts for 31 days but challenges should not be a burden to the way you post so you can post as frequently as you like/are able to.
