I spent exactly one week doing nothing. And by nothing I mean nothing for university.

A week ago I rushed to my university to grab some books for the holidays (a great collection of books for my presentation, books about art history and books I want to read to chat with my lecturer about ) and ever since I‘ve been just sleeping and eating and I spent so much time watching movies - around 4 a day! Which is quite a lot - especially if you should be studying instead.

It’s been so long since I’ve uploaded anything my gosh. Since today is 19 Years Later from Harry Potter, I decided to turn to translating the first few paragraphs of the chapter into French. I’ve got no idea how I did but I’m gonna check it against the French version to see!

I also created a monthly plan in an attempt to motivate me through this last month before uni starts again! I’m off to France in just over a week to do some teaching in a school which is actually quite scary but it’ll be good practice for my year abroad!

Hey everyone, 

This is my slightly (completely) crazy looking mind map/summary/brain dump for my Global Jazz paper, which I got an A+ for! 

I separated topics out by readings.  This is not the way I study for every paper, but this paper doesn’t have typical lectures. Instead, we prepare the readings in advance for discussing them the next week.  Each member of the course will lead one seminar during the course at some point (you get marks for this). There are assigned listenings as well.  I found this way of summing up enabled me to see connections, and pull out the most important points from discussions and readings.  Our professor designs the test so that everyone is pushed for time, so I only missed one mark from the essay section (question was given early, but you couldn’t take notes in), and the remaining 9 missed marks were because I ran out of time in the short answer questions.  

Forever in love with art history notes.
