25 Oct 20 🌿 today’s study situation: trying desperately to prove np-completeness for algo (aka introduction to analysis of algorithms) which is definitely my toughest class this semester but I’m doing my best! how are y’all doing?
🎧: trouble’s coming - royal blood
hello all! someone asked for tips on taking notes from a textbook so i’ve done my best to put some thoughts together, and it kind of morphed into this. i hope this helps somewhat & feel free to add on anything you think i’ve missed!
create summary sentences! divide your reading by page/paragraph/subheadings/whatever feels right, read the section and then write 1-3 sentences or bullet points about what you’ve just read. make it simple but relevant. also include things you find particularly interesting!
learn to skim. odds are if a teacher/professor assigns three chapters, they don’t want you to read everything word by word. there will be some irrelevant parts. it’s your job to skim those sections as well as decide (based on knowledge from the class and other assignments) what is worth paying attention to and what isn’t.
similarly, if you are assigned 3 readings, one may not be as helpful as the others so you may take little to no notes on that one. that’s completely fine! but i do recommend actually doing as much of the reading as you can
on the other hand though, my political science class has so many different readings per class that i only end up doing about half of them simply because i don’t have the time. if you choose do do this, i’d recommend looking into all of the readings and only completing the ones that you feel will help you the most. that may mean doing the longest one because it has a big overview of everything, or it may mean only doing the one focused on economic factors because you didn’t understand that part of the lecture very well.
keep track of key words and definitions- this can be really helpful if you’re supposed to be learning broad concepts or trends but don’t let them bog you down. i find that using them in reference to something else makes it easier for me to learn and remember them, rather than spending hours copying definitions.
btw i also used the summary sentence method in high school when i was doing the ib diploma, but have since refined it a lot. i’ve definitely improved on deciding what i need to know and learn, so my biggest piece of advice is to be patient and trust your gut.
annotating:
i’ve decided to make this a separate part because i use both of these methods for some classes, but i never do both for the same text– that is just too much.
typically (using my political science and anthropology classes as an example) if i have a physical copy of the reading (printed or my own copy of the book) i will just highlight and annotate. the key here is annotating in addition to highlighting. in these assignments i highlight pieces that would be useful in essays as well as pieces that explain concepts very briefly.
in the margins i will then write small notes about the paragraph (like summary sentences but even simpler)
i will also write down any questions that i think of, whether they are relevant or not.
if the text is online, then i will do what i outlined above in summary sentences.
all of that being said, this is what works best for me. also, i don’t have any textbooks for any of my current classes so all of the above info may not be helpful at all. i’ll definitely update this or make a new post specifically about textbooks in the future when i have more experience with them but for now i’m also going to include what a friend of mine does.
skims the textbook chapter and highlights main points, she does this very, very quickly
meets up with a friend to do the assigned homework as well as go over basic points of the reading
returns to the textbook and reads it more thoroughly
this is definitely a lot of work, but depending on how your class typically runs and how you learn best it may be worth trying.
good luck my babes!!

it is crucial that as historically racist and colorist asians, we educate ourselves and one another on anti-Black racism and Black Lives Matter so that Black people don’t have to. note that this is not a “how to” post; rather, this is a “how I’m learning to” post.
*DISCLAIMER: I am not Black. I am a filipino american. I am sharing my own personal experiences with talking to my non-Black filipino parents, in response to my non-Black friends and followers asking me for advice. there is no guaranteed right way to do this. I understand that being able to talk to your parents is privilege. I am not challenging you to risk your own mental health or safety to have these conversations if you are not in the place to- I do not know everyone’s situation, so please know your own capacity. although my intentions are good, I am still teachable. please feel free to call me out (send me a message/ask) if you see something I’ve said that strikes you as inappropriate, problematic, or out-of-place. this is non-comprehensive.
things to keep in mind:
they will not stop loving you for asking questions.
where (location/time) your parents came from. whether they immigrated from another country, or you currently live where your parents grew up, you grew up in a different time than they did. they likely did not have the same education or access to resources.
they may not have the emotional or cognitive tools to understand what is going on, which is making them unaware of their ignorance. asians are not taught to prioritize mental health or talking problems out.
the history of your ethnic background. for ex: my parents grew up in the philippines, which has a history of spanish and american colonization/imperialism that is still alive today. in school, my parents read history books about their own country written by americans, not filipinos. this ingrained in us a colonial mentality we must unlearn.
the model minority myth.
racism is a worldwide issue; not just an american one.
anti-racist and non-racist are different things.
don’t expect immediate change. allyship is not a one-time performative act; it is an ongoing process of learning and unlearning together. this means one conversation isn’t enough. this is a life-long commitment to change.
during the actual conversation:
start with something simple, ex: “I know you’ve seen the news. what do you think about it?”
give them equal time to voice their thoughts and opinions.
do not yell. idk about your family, but the backbone of the filipino family is to respect your elders. this is extremely hard to train yourself to do, but I’ve found that parents/relatives will literally refuse to listen to you if they feel disrespected. I’m not saying you don’t have a right to be angry. but for the purposes of respecting our cultural beliefs, try to keep calm and have an actual conversation.
be clear about what privilege and prejudice mean. this is the basic foundation of conversations about racism, and I find that my parents really didn’t know anything about these words until I brought it up. hours after my convo with my dad, he actually texted me to ask me what prejudice was.
connect your ethnic history to present day. ex: my parents were both reluctant to support protesting and resistance, so I asked them where we would be as a culture if josé rizal (deemed a war criminal and executed by spaniards) did not resist those who told him to be “peaceful”. he was a very hated and controversial figure, and is now our national hero. however, do not equate these experiences to the Black experience.
remind them that “Black lives matter” does not undermine their struggles as an asian immigrant and doesn’t mean that other lives don’t matter.

Quarantine Survival Guide
With more and more places shutting down work or school, and people going on self-imposed quarantines to be safe and keep those around them safe, it’s high time that we figure out a game plan about what to do about the virus.
Disclaimer
I am not a doctor, nor am I pretending to be such. This is generalized information. Please do your own research, or contact your general physician if you have health related questions or concerns.
What is Coronavirus?
COVID-19 is a strain of the coronavirus, which has been around for longer than you think, though we generally have antiviruses, cures, or immunities to the majority of the strains. It originates from animals and is now transferable from human to human. The reason why COVID-19 is different from any other virus is because it’s so new, there are no vaccines for it, and our bodies haven’t naturally developed antibodies for the virus either, which means that nearly everyone who comes into contact with it will get it, though the extent of symptoms and how much it affects you depends on factors such as your overall health and immune system.
The symptoms include a cough and struggling to breathe, along with a fever and related aches. If you are more prone to illnesses because of your age or immune system, then you can possibly get pneumonia or serious illnesses.
You’re at risk if you’re a child or senior, or if you have an autoimmune disorder of some sort. If you are already more susceptible to pneumonia, then this is a dangerous virus for you, but otherwise, all you will feel is a few days of flu-like symptoms before you’re better. Even if you show very few symptoms, the virus can stay in your system for over two weeks, which is why the quarantine is necessary, so that the virus has time to die off.
You can prevent catching it, or passing it onto those around you by frequently washing your hands, avoiding touching your face, and if you’re feeling under the weather, then keeping physical distance from those around you.
You can find daily updates at WHO, and resources at Harvard Health Publishing.
How do I work/study from home?
One thing that’s great about going to school or work away from home is that it encourages you to build a routine and discipline, which is something that falls apart if you spend too much time at home. You can replicate that by pretending that you are still going out by following these steps:
Follow the same time schedule. If you wake up at 7, keep waking up at 7. The time you would use for transportation, use it for some form of exercise. Get ready at the same time. Eat breakfast and lunch at the same time. If you normally have this particular class at this particular hour on this particular day, that is the subject you’ll continue to be working on during that time.
Get ready for work. When people think of homeschooling or working from home, one of the ideas that seems appealing is not having to get dressed up. Wouldn’t it be great if we could do all our work in our pajamas? The problem with that is that it decreases your productivity, since your mind associates certain clothes and behaviors with shutting down for the day, like wearing pajamas or sitting on the couch. But if you get dressed as if you’re about to leave for school or work, then your mind is accepting that you are done resting for the day and it’s grind time.
Have a space just for work. Adding to the previous point, if you have a specific space where you just do your school or office work while you’re at home, which shouldn’t be in your bedroom, then your mind will assume that place as your workplace. But if you work on the couch or bed, which are places you normally relax, then you’re more prone to getting tired or distracted.
Minimize distractions. You’ve gotten ready for the day. You even got your work space ready and your cute highlighters ready to go. But now you’re hungry. Or thirsty. Or you need to check your phone. Bring some healthy snacks to the table, which should cause minimal mess or effort to eat. Pre-cut fruits with a fork is a great option. So are oven-baked tortilla chips with salsa dip, as long as you keep that a bit away from your work. You can also try apps like Forest, or Tide, to help you stay off your phone for a certain set of time. If you must listen to music, then stick to classical music. I’m partial to Chopin and Mozart, but it’s up to you, as long as it’s classical.
Try the Pomodoro technique. Working for hours at a time is very unproductive, contrary to what one might think, partially because your attention span lasts less than half an hour before you need a break. You can try to break your work into chunks by setting up a timer for 25 minutes, taking a break for 5 minutes, and then working for 25 minutes again. You can use the apps mentioned in the last point. Tide even has a chrome pomodoro extension with white noise that you could use.
Use online resources. Just because you can’t ask your teacher a question in person doesn’t mean you’re helpless. Tons of resources, such as Khan Academy, or Crash Course, can help you understand the concepts more. They may even help you get ahead in courses that you have a good understanding of already.
What to do with all this extra time?
While imposing a quarantine slows the spread of the virus, we’re faced with an entirely different situation. We’re so used to rushing to work/school, then rushing back, and constantly busy and interacting, then when we don’t know what to do now that we are alone. When you’re not working or studying, you can do the following:
Catch up on chores and errands that have been piling up around the house. Do that thing you kept postponing because of your job or school.
Pick up a new skill. It can be anything you’ve wanted to be able to do, but didn’t get a chance, from sewing, or playing an instrument, to speaking a new language. You could even learn some basic plumbing and tools skills and install a bidet so you don’t have to deal with the toilet paper crisis again.
Read a new book. If you don’t have any books at home, you can check out options such as the Open Library, or even Wattpad.
Start a new show that has a lot of seasons, or long episodes, such as Supernatural, Gossip Girl, or even Critical Role.
Practice your cooking skills with all the items you hoarded.
Rearrange the furniture in your house/room to make it feel like a new space.
Keep moving. Find a workout routine that works from home, or do something like yoga or dancing. If you’re not going out, you’re not being as active, which is not good.
Keep in touch with friends. Text and call them frequently. You could even have a remote Netflix session with your friends, or significant other, using the Netflix Party extension.
Learn to play poker, unless you have an addictive personality. Then you can learn cool shuffling tricks to impress friends at all the parties you’ll go to once the quarantine lockdown is lifted.
Draw and write. You don’t have to be an author or researcher or an artist. Just draw things you see around you. Write about how you’re feeling. It can help with the isolation.
What can I do as a parent of kids staying home from school?
If your job hasn’t imposed a quarantine yet, try to see if it is possible for you to work from home.
If you can’t be home, see if you have one parent, if there’s more than one, or extended family or friends, who do not have babies or elderly, or members with compromised immune systems, and see if it’s possible to do a lockdown together if none of you have caught it yet.
Devise a family plan so that everyone is on the same page. Use the above-mentioned tips and adapt them to fit your family’s needs. You can also find other things you can do that haven’t been mentioned here.
If you are working at home, or are a stay-at-home parent, have designated work hours that reflect the schedule you regularly have. You can say that for these two hours, everyone does their work. The kids do their school work. The adults do their work. And then you can have a break to talk, play, or eat.
You can look into homeschooling blogs and see how homeschooling parents set up their schedules, and if they have tips or online resources that may help. They have been doing this for longer and know ways to manage routines of multiple members of the family who stay at home, or even work while their children are homeschooled.
