I was so anxious and stressed for it, I really felt as if I had to prove something…

Well, I proved that I can do it!

This week had been quite tough, I switched my study completely for Physiology and I had signed up for the exam.. so it's rather final now.

I worked like a dog these last days because I wanted to finish the major topics before Sunday, but guess who still will have to work extra hours next week? ME. All because I wasn't very sure on what exam to do first. And that's why it's better to have a great plan for the exam session before starting to study, otherwise you end like me, burnt out and irritable (not when I had enough coffe eheh).

Btw I'm somewhat proud of my work, yesterday and the day before I managed to work 7-8 hours. Note that that's not how much I study usually, it's only because I'm in dire situations.

Actually this made me realize how different is studying form working. I find 8 hours of studying way more exhausting mentally than the same amount of working (I'm taking a normal manual labor), and my uni friend, who works in a nearby supermarket, confirmed this.

I passed this day relaxing and chilling with my friends, watching them play dnd all together. It’s nice to be able to shut my mind off for a day, not worrying about exams and university.

Maybe one day I'll make a character too, but for now I stand aside and watch the story unfold.

I didn't work very proficiently this week, maybe it was the holiday or the fact I passed much time away from home, but I didn'y study a lot. I finished writing Pathology and printing all the papers, so for the next weeks I'm ready to repeat them out loud.

However I realized that maybe I should start this exam session with Physiology. It's not a big problem, I can totally switch and start repeating this other subject right away (and that's probably what I'll do).

I tried to study a lot this days, even if it was holiday season, and I think I only managed to start a little burn out. My sleep schedule is a bit changed and I'm starting every day already tired. I really cannot affort to burn out, not now just before the start of the exam season, so I'll think I'll take it very easy these days. I'll study what I feel, when I feel.

I know I shouldn't study late at night, but I'm really tired of looking at the ceiling. So I thought, why not use this time? Maybe I tire myself a bit…

I've never been good at journaling or writing down thoughts. However I bought some embossed stickers and washi tapes and I unlocked my potential.

Since I was a kid I've always treasured jealously my stickers, not using them cause I thought they were to beautiful to be wasted. But now it's time to let go of this way of thinking, I want to use those stickers and colourful tapes as much as I want.

So I grabbed this gorgeous notebook and started with the first organs and structures that came up to my mind, lungs (page before), mediastinum and thyroid.

I can post my Forest too!!! Yay I'm so happy!

Last week I managed to finish off few topics of Pathology, I'm talking about diabetes, hyperuricemia and hyperlipoproteinemia.

The last one, bilirubin metabolism, is way more than what i thought originally and that really changed my schedule. I need to address not only the bilirubin problems, but also liver pathologies (i thought they were programmed for another exam, that' s the origin of my mistake).

I'm quite angry with myself for my superficial thinking, but I understand it was exhaustion speaking, telling me to do less instead of aiming for the best. Said that, I started with the liver metabolism and I'm liking it so far. Within Sunday it's imperative I finish at least this part... so let's work!

So, I know last week I finally started organizing weekly here on tumblr my study. However these days are holiday basically for everyone, so I'm gonna do much less than what I'm supposed to do.

This week I'm supposed to finish some diagrams and recap for Pathology. I absolutely need to finish this subject whithin next week, so then I can start repeting it out loud... It will be a mess!!!

The topics that I absolutely need to finish are all alteration of the metabolism and comprehend:

Diabetes (all the kinds)

Hyperuricemia (primary and secondary)

Bilirubin

Hyperlipoproteinemia

Today I started with diabetes, so it's imperative that I finish off this part and at least start another one whithin Sunday. Then other two for next week and maybe I'm done.

For my hobbies then... I need to practice a bit of German, maybe find some grammar excercises, readings and writings; even though the worst part for me it's the speaking.
