Is this too much to ask for!? 😫

Me: Can we get some headshots for me?
Mom: We have headshots at home.

Headshot at home:

“A meme for your troubles” should be the new “a penny for your thoughts”

Saw a link to an article published on <<Le Monde>> Brain decided to read it as <<Lemonde>> 🍋 until it sank in… and that’s me on Monday evenings, frens 🙃

Ah yes, one of Remarque’s lesser known works

Is it Christmas yet?

Thrilled to have worked on piloting and implementing this very timely study with some great mentors! Feedback welcome :)

Figured out a Deutsch word from context clues/ etymology alone. Feeling very fly 😎

My toxic trait is that I refuse to save anyone’s number until absolutely necessary (using only text context clues to tell who it is) and then I blame myself for texting the wrong person 🙃

I meant more like “seams of your soul,” but ykw, you raise a good point. Stay in the light!

Bind the seams of those books like you would your soul 🥹

Art — all kinds — always helps!

Fighting the urge to bring out the ukulele and jam because it’s wayyy past midnight 🥺

nedroid comic: BEaRTaTO, WHAT ARE YOU EATING? - CANDY - DOES IT QUELL THE ROARING EMPTINESS INSIDE OF YOu? - BRIEFLY

That’s actually very reassuring to know — danke! :)

Hallelujah!

But also, in all seriousness, (1) I’ve been told it’s a good idea to know some German, esp. in smaller towns, and (2) why not experience the full range of cultural immersion in a new country!?

Will try my best— thank you for the encouragement 😭

(I honestly didn’t find French nearly as hard as Deutsch, but maybe that was because I grew up learning it in school??)

It is with great humility that I admit I had gravely underestimated how hard learning German would be… I am now a reformed woman 😔

Missing home this cozy monsoon morning 🤍

For sure! I’m still exploring, but I’d say I lean towards applied micro (health, environment) and development, but open to anything and everything at the moment!

Casually dropped “Datenshutz„ (the universe knows I despise these commas, but I must) into a conversation. Feeling very cool and culturally integrated 😎

You know it’s getting serious when Instagram recommends memes and reels in Deutsch 😭

To all my Econ ppl on here: what do you think are some essential readings/ media someone about to start grad school in the subject should be looking into??? Thanks!

Such is the curse of self-awareness

TFW the short (but mundane) task you’ve been putting off for too long doesn’t take too much time and/or energy

Waymo this, Waymo that— you should be romanticizing your life Waymo than usual
(Don’t worry; I’ll see myself out 😔)

Life would be so different if only my brain understood the difference between being chased by a large predator and completing a small task that shouldn’t take much time at all

And maybe to understand whatever’s going on in Real Analysis…
