Enola Holmes, 2020

— Oscar Wilde, from The Picture Of Dorian Gray

mood: reading gothic literature at night by lamplight, drinking black coffee sweetened with honey, watching shakespearean tragedies at the theatre, freshly cut roses, wearing the same delicate jewellery everyday, reading textbooks about the supernatural, burning candles on an autumn evening, writing letters to far away friends

obsessed with the art of studying

me? putting on makeup and dressing up just to study but with a little more flair ??? yes, it’s called coping during a pandemic look it up

Good Will Hunting (1997) dir. Gus Van Sant

I had a nice Saturday morning studying Latin.

I also finished my notes on ‘Caliban and the Witch’ and let me tell you, there’s nothing better than a good scoop of feminist Marxist theory to start the day.
