11/03/25 22/100 days of productivity

Break is almost ending, but it is only recently that I started actually feeling it. Here are the things I did today to recharge:

Currently reading the book "The Secret Garden" by Frances Burnett

Wrote a chapter on my ongoing story that I haven't continued for about five months now due to uni

Curated a list of novels and philosophy books that I plan to read in the future.

I came across this concept called "personal curricula" wherein you choose a specific topic to learn and create a list of materials that will help you learn it. It sounds very interesting so I will attempt to do it. Currently, I am interested in learning about Soren Kierkegaard's philosophy. Also, I would like to start a commonplace journal so I purchased a ruled notebook. I'm very excited to learn new things and get into the habit of journaling again.

Despite it being my break, my days have still been hectic. My friend and I hosted a halloween party, and for the past few days we have been planning and fixing up the venue for the event. Yesterday, we both did plenty of intense cooking and baking. I made cheesecake (which tasted pretty amazing), and focaccia (which was an epic fail because it was too hard). I also went as Magic Mike dancer for my costume.

As reward for our hard work, the event was a success and we drank multiple rounds. Fortunately, I didn't get drunk because that would be a disaster.

So many things have happened the past few weeks which is why I haven't been able to post here as much and do my days of productivity. For one, I celebrated my birthday—or, well, I really didn't because I just ate cake then went back to work. Secondly, the semester has finally ended and the next semester will be starting in a week. I was able to finish my research and our group got a really high grade on it. I also passed all of my exams and aced Cognitive Psychology, specifically. Today, we received our grades and I realized that all of my hard work has paid off because I am part of the Dean's List!!! Dean's List 2nd Honors specifically, and though I was hoping for 1st Honors, I am still proud of this achievement.

I'll try to get back to posting my days of productivity once again starting tomorrow. For this break, I plan to finish a few novels and write a psychological analysis on one of my favorite anime characters.

Today was pretty uneventful. Finally finished our presentation on the Philosophical Science paper I've been going on and on about the past few days and i think we did pretty okay. I and my other member were the only two people who were answering the professor's questions though. Organic Chem was uneventful as we simply had grade consultation, and we had a very short lesson for Cognitive Psychology. Exams are next week and I've yet to start studying.

Right now, we are celebrating round two of my uncle's birthday, but this time at a restaurant. Everyone got to eat seafood boil except for me. Cursed allergies. But I at least got to have an entire bowl of chicken wings to myself though (I only ate 4 pieces haha).

Later, I will attempt to go through my Theories of Personality notes. Tomorrow, I will have plenty of things to do.

I, unfortunately, did not get to take any pictures today as I was so busy the entire day. For Organic Chem class this morning, we had a graded recitation on naming Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons. I was able to answer the item given to me, so that's good. For Theories of Personality, we finished the lecture about Karen Horney's theory. Lastly, for Scientific Writing, we had consultation about our research papers. Some groups were given really ruthless criticism and scolding by the prof (for valid reasons, I believe). It's a good thing I am grouped with very responsible people and not dead weights so I like to think that our professor appreciates us.

When I got home, I didn't even get to rest and went straight to my uncle's birthday party. Everyone liked the cheesecake I made, so that's great. When I got home at around 9PM, I took a 30-minute break and wrote a script for a presentation tomorrow on Philo-Sci.

I'm really really tired and I can feel my brain throbbing right now. I can't wait to go o sleep.

10.12.25 18/100 days of productivity

I'll just list down what I did and will be doing today because I'm too lazy to elaborate in a narrative form. I started working at 8AM and I'll probably end around 7PM.

Went through our paper in Philo-Sci and prompted my members to do the powerpoint

Answered an activity for Organic Chem

Edited the introduction of our research paper for Scientific Writing

Reviewed five lessons in Cognitive Psych in preparation for our final exams this coming Thursday

Later, these are the things I still have to do:

Review Aliphatic and Aromatic Nomenclature for a recitation in Organic Chem tomorrow

Browse through my notes in Theories of Personality in preparation for final exams (idk when)

Bake a burnt basque cheesecake for my uncle's birthday tomorrow
