PhDing update: I have really turned a HUGE mindset corner, and I have a new drive to finish.
I have from now until the end of the year to finish writing. I have a plan, an amazing team of mentors, and just enough spite that it keeps things interesting. This is going to happen.

I am going to miss the Tuscan hills and PhDing there, not only cause I’m a cyclist, but also because of the amazing group of people at the EUI and all the opportunities I got to be a year at the LSE and half a year at @ecb.europa.eu

TO DO: write a Bluesky version of a slightly cringe LinkedIn post, change PhDing to PhDone in my bio, update my personal website and tell my local coffeeshop that I can’t get student discounts anymore… because Tuesday I completed the official part of my education and defended at @eui-eu.bsky.social

Nice. I keep telling myself I need to get back into reading for pleasure more, but PhDing and *gesture at all this* has torn my attention span to shreds. I swear I'm dumber than I graduated high school.

phding is a completely different set of skills from remembering to eat produce if thats any help. (living in a new country is more similar to remembering to eat produce, i found it difficult but doable with support)

today's PhDing: I can’t tell if I nailed this latest chapter on how academia skips over questions of being (ontology) in light of questions of knowledge (epistemology) — or if I just talked in circles for 12 pages
it's coming along! I am doing the work

I presume this means the sign maker is doing his PhD in sports medicine, but I absolutely LOVE the combination of writing systems and language features here! A super fun, creative, and interesting part of the gym #LinguisticLandscape!!!

"I'll take a break from PhDing and listen to a podcast," I thought. So I put on the 'Jaws' episode of @horrorjoypod.bsky.social and what do they immediately start talking about? The uncanny in horror, aka exactly what I'm currently writing about 🤦🏻♀️
