It's october 1st !!

I will be starting my refresher course for board review next week and I told myself once october starts, I'll stop dilly-dallying and lock in with studying.

But... its 330pm now and I've only watched B99 and checked in with my review center's sites to prep for next week.

Will update later about today's progress, maybe as day 1 of 100 of 100 days of productivity.

I honestly wanted to do it annually since... was it 2021 when I did the first one ?? But life just got in the way—nearly 2h commutes to uni, another 2 going home, then during internship it's either a very long commute to and from again (first hospital was in another city) and while the other one was only 30 minutes away from home, everyday shifts were so tiring that if I weren't on duty, I was asleep 😅 but that was the most fulfilling rotation though.

This time, for about a month will be online, then on november or december will be on hybrid set up. So either way, I have more time on my hands and this challenge will force me to really do something at least 2 subjects a day.

day 2/100 days of productivity

started not to use my laptop much as i've been dependent on it for awhile now (starting and wnding my day with notion for life admins) and since i'll be starting revie on the 6th, i'm gonna fast on using it for now cos then i'll be in front of the screen for... about 9 hours for the review sessions + another 3 hours maybe for self-studies.

my accountability buddy for studying is my ☁️, he's the one who checks my daily questions' answers, cutting down some of my time and continue on with my day. anddd he's made a consequence for me if i don't study: for every day i dont study, i would have to fine myself around 20 to 40 pesos, depending how many subjects i dont study, haha.

anyways, for the day's productivity:

daily 12 questions from diagnostics cluster

RT law – Proclamation no. 207, RA no. 9211 and RA no. 8749 (passive + post it summaries)

Polysomnography – finished up studying with egan's (passive + post it summaries)

might rewrite the post it summaries down to my binder notebook for convenience of notes :)

>> day 11/100 days of productivity

this day's productivity was more on completing my team's research:

acknowledgements

technical revisions

progress report submitted to the university ethics committee

surprisingly, just these 3 resulted into taking up my whole afternoon 😅 but it was very nice to complete our thesis. we only need to publish it and display it in our faculty and library, haha

— life lately

let go of my long hair and dyed my hair again bc its high time for a change (kidding) and i have a pictorial for a department event soon, so, yk

my camera roll's filled with ventilators from high flow machines to baby vents to hamiltons bc it became a habit for me not to only write the changes in vent settings anymore but also take a photo of the current settings the time i did rounds (8am rounds, 12nn rounds)

excited to have social life again after months being cooped up at home, hahaha

day 47/366

slept at 4 in the morning because i suddenly remembered for clinical research we have a much earlier final defense and since my rotation got moved to the 27th, i decided to plan our deadlines since personally, i feel i won't be able to face some duties as the group's leader once our internship starts bc im assigned to a hospital 3-4 hours away from home and i wont rent a dorm or what bc its super expensive in that area

what i did from 12MN to 4AM

planned deadlines

made a timetable

made a respondent list for possible respondents – figured we could start on this while waiting for ethics approval bc it takes 2 weeks to process, at least we could just send the questionnaire as soon as it gets approved rather than just start on looking for respondents after

made a checklist in my planner for things we need to do

It's really finals for this semester. my exams for all classes are sporadically scheduled, depending on the prof and us, the class as we get asked when we would want to take the finals. even the professors are itching to stop with academics and get a vacation.

currently i've taken my minors exams and pediatrics. i'm very proud of my pediatric final grade ?? with this i conclude that professors significantly impact students' performance in their classes. my professor for cardioanatomy and physiology, neuroanatomy, microbiology for 2nd year and pediatrics and neonatal for this semester is one of the best educators i've come across. actually most of my professors are, but doc's leaving for a month and will stop teaching since he got promoted in his hospital into a very big position and today was our last-ever meeting with him and i just wanted to show some appreciation, hahaha

so, yeah. as i complete my finals requirements and exams, i will do so with a grateful spirit because the professors in my current university really brings out the best in me. i'm more confident now with my brain and self and i think most of my social anxiety's went away that i agreed to participate in the national convention for an event ?? although one factor for that is because my team consists of my close friends, but still. really big step and i'm proud of myself and insanely grateful for everything, haha.

and just like that, 3rd year as a respiratory therapy student has come to an end (we're not considering the unfinished thesis for now).

pretty amazed with how i was able to juggle 6 days of school, 11 subjects (supposedly we only have 8, all majors), a case study, multiple reports and exams in a week sometimes and so on.

praying and scouting other unis at this time for cross enrollment so i could get done with my last 9 units for gen ed this summer to be eligible for internship this august and i also pray and hope that my tutor sessions with our adviser for the national convention's quiz bee won't cross over with the summer classes (context: as a transferee, i wasn't able to take the 9 units due to the difference in the curriculums)
