🎓 Bachelors Final Year — Week 44 🎓

GETTING BACK ON TRACK — No burnout challenge [Day 18/30]

Eid Mubarak! Today was bakrid so I woke up early and took a shower. I felt really unwell so I ended up napping after breakfast. I woke up feeling slightly better, so i studied for a little while and then went on my daily walk. I bought some sugar-free icecream as a treat and also properly explored my neighborhood on foot for the first time (since living here all my life basically lmao). I've finally been given more freedom to walk/travel on my own and I'm making the most of it :D

I took a lot of breaks during my walk as there were lots of benches in the park. I convinced myself that it's okay to take those breaks and it's not like taking them will cancel out the benefits of the physical activity or that I'm "not really working out". The park near my house is close enough to the other houses that so many people of different ages and physical abilities come to walk there every evening. So it's very encouraging and motivating for me :)

The day ended with my sister buying me some really pretty stickers, and I also watched a video about debunking/deinfluencing StudyTube trends and as a person who consumed studytube content sometimes it gave me a nice little mindset shift. I took notes on the video in my commonplace journal so I can internalise it.

Overall, good day :]

had a Deaf speaker come in for our ASL class, she was very sweet and did sim-com so we could work on our reception skills! she also said she'd never worked with someone with Tourette's before, so I got to go through some communication tips with her. I didn't take my tic meds unfortunately, but I managed to get through the presentation without making loud noises, flipping anyone off, or wishing death on my teacher's sister in law. don't ask... anyway, it was a good day. i'm starting a commonplace book, which is today's photo. it's been fun so far. i'll probably update again today. the month is starting off strong. today i will limit distractions and maintain my momentum.

I made notes to explain the principle of virtual displacements half for me and half for a girl who asked if I could help her with it

I'm sick :/ my throat hurts because I forgot to take my allergy meds

I was surprisingly social today!! Not to get too caught up in the past but I am really glad I'm doing this semester. The people are so.. nice? cool? Fun to hang out with? I certainly didn't feel like this about people in my last (archi) semester. Idk, or maybe I'm just feeling better. Anyway I also stayed after lectures to study in the empty dining hall with people.

What to call them? Not really friends (yet?) but not strangers. I just googled and apparently "Kommilitonen". Just German and the most serious sounding words for the simplest things.

now that just feels silly.

let's give this studyblr thing a third go. horribly sick yesterday but we persevered and it's mostly faded. does debating count as studying? no, but i need to motivate myself to sit through a six hour political theory lecture so we will be counting it.
