Let me be Something

Greetings! I was a part of this lovely community for a short while many years ago, and now I'm back!

About me:

Call me Mars

He/She/They

2nd Year Economics Student

I am told I do not seem like an Economics student

Finally seeking an ADHD diagnosis

I think my handwriting is better when I use a black pen as opposed to a blue pen.

I love crochet, ttrpgs and fashion

I'm doing my best :)

"What does your ideal study plan look like for the week?"

Perfect question to get on a Monday!

I actually have a fairly empty week ahead, no lectures Monday or Tuesday and the only day I have social activities planned this week is Wednesday.

I'd like to focus on Microeconomics and Economic Decision Making this week.

The former because I have the most to cover for it.

The latter because I have a test next Wednesday.

I'm mainly just hoping to do a little bit everyday, and get to a point where I've watched all the relevant lecture recordings and taken notes.

3/100 Days of Productivity

So first of all I've got two really big pieces of news to share:

I finally got my ADHD diagnosis, which feels amazing. I feel like I suddenly have a lot of answers to questions I've been asking my whole life and now I can actually start exploring new avenues of treatment, like medication.

I actually finally got the grades for all of my semester 1 exams - every single one above 70. Every. Single. One. I am absolutely flabbergasted that I might have a genuine chance of polishing off this year with a 1:1. And so happy. No one can tell me shit today.

With that out of the way: I went for a walk and celebratory bubble tea with my boyfriend :)

And then came right home and finally got started catching up with my Microeconomics material from last semester. I'm really struggling with this module frankly because of my lecturer, I don't click with his teaching style and he makes me kind of too uncomfortable to reach out to him and ask for extra help.

To put it succinctly the man is a Poundland Elon Musk and I don't want to spend more time listening to him than I absolutely have to.

2/30 New Years Momentum Challenge

"Share a photo of your study area!"

So one of the reasons it took so long for me to post this one (aside from like. Depression.) Is that I don't have a set study space!

Studying in my room kind of just exacerbates my mental health issues.

So instead I'm posting a picture of the most aesthetically interesting of the three libraries I like setting up camp in!

It's delightfully spooky and maze-like in a way that I think all libraries should be.

I got so lost looking for the toilet last night.

It has some really cool historical/artistic/information exhibits. (Creepiest guy ever under the cut.)
