I was initially unhappy about the 10 hour overnight flight to Buenos Aires for TEI coming up, but maybe I can convince my body to fall asleep for a while on a plane for onceā¦
I donāt know what it is about the 4th year of the PhD, but all of my close friends here in the same year as me and I are just exhausted. Either bc weāre staying up to do work or canāt fall asleep.

Am I completely surprised by this (or at least that that is the pattern)? No. Is it complete bullshit, especially at a school with a famous school of languages and literatures? Abso-fucking-lutely
