🍪 Feb 12, 2020 - 5pm - 9pm | 21/30 Days of Productivity  🍪

Ok TODAY was productive! 

First I decided to treat myself with some makeup and skincare from the nearby store (5-5:30pm)

Washed my hair! It’s always such a hassle... (5:30-6:00pm)

Mini spa time: Face mask, removed straggly facial hair, the usual (6:00-6:30pm) 

Baked cookies! I’ll give some for my BF on Valentines Day, even though Valentines Day in Brazil is only in June, but feb 14 is more interesting... (6:30-7:30pm)

Did more revision! I’m also watching some youtube videos about the history of film. Louis Le Prince story still shooks me up o.o (7:45-8:30pm)

Lastly, I did some pilates with my aunt! She said she wants to start working out too, but she couldn't do much still. (8:30-9pm)

It was a good day! I am beyond exhausted, but I feel great! I still hate how long it takes for me to cook anything, tho/:

Pictured: The prodcuts | My notes | Cookies | Bujo just because I hate posting just 3 pics.

26/100 days of productivity

“Man Ray...like Spongebob? Created Flying Dutchman...like Spongebob?!?!?” My group and I went to the Met to pick out some paintings to analyze for our presentation. Unfortunately, we’re not going to do it on Man Ray’s work. Also petted a dog at Trader Joe’s today so that was great...and a bud and I are sneaking mochi, cheesecake, and McNuggets into tonight’s showing of Endgame so we’re hyped!

March 11, 2019 ♡

— There was barely any lighting today due to the rain but that’s New York for you with its mercurial weather! Anyways, here’s a sneak peek of my desk setup and how I take my APUSH outlines. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day; don’t forget to drink water and prioritize yourself!

I cAnNoT find the post for these on my blog so I went to find the original and I tHinK i found it so i’m sorry if these aren’t the answers you were expecting, thank you for asking x

15. Class that you’ve always wanted to take but never had the chance?

I’m pretty okay with the classes I’ve chosen up to this point. There are parts of me that regret not taking chem or bio at A-Level but I’m not sure I would have faired well and I’m glad I was able to learn about rocks instead. Besides, turns out they’re not essential for a STEM subject at uni, just have to make up for it with a foundation year.

24. Describe your perfect study environment.

You’d think at this point in my life, I’d know what the answer is. I think it’s one of those things that changes as I learn more about learning and how I do it best.

 Right now, though, I’d say somewhere I’m comfortable and alone and it’s quiet inside and outside and not too hot and there’s no distraction besides some instrumental music or lOfi HiPpiTy hOppiTy beAtS tO rElaX/sTudY tO

34. Have you ever thought about becoming a teacher/professor?

Sort of? My general disposition would likely not suit that of a teacher and I lack sufficient ‘people skills’ to realistically consider it, but it’s something that has crossed my mind. I just really like learning, and it has come up in a ‘how can I apply my love of learning to, like, real-life’. So yes, but also no.

46. Do you have pre-test rituals and what are they?

I have to admit, it’s been a while since I have taken a test. There’s a couple of rituals I have, but like they’re not exclusive to exams it’s just like checking where my exam is and then checking again and then making sure and then going early and having everything and checking lots. 

I’ve realised in the last few years that cramming makes me feel terrible and more anxious and pretty much has 0 effect whatsoever on my performance so I would just skim read notes/summaries/whatever and go for a walk outside and try not to think about it, even if I’m super unprepared. If I’m super unprepared, it’s the result of weeks/months and a morning before a test isn’t gonna change it y’know.

 I can be anxious and outside or I can be anxious inside hopelessly trying to remember information and surrounded by people doing the same. I choose the former.

These answers are long, I’m so sorry. Thank you again for asking.

hathor - what brings you joy?

a lot of things! cute dogs excited to see you, finally finishing a long problem set, dance, getting a package of new stationery goods or walking into a stocked cute stationery gift shop, the smell in the morning after the rain, eating yummy pastries or avo toast with a few friends, sleeping early, and more :')

thoth - do you like to read/write?

i do, i'm afraid i really don't have time for them that often though :(

arawn - most terrifying thing you've ever done

i think generally standing up to people / voicing my feelings instead of just my thoughts is honestly very hard for me, so in light of recent events... probably making the decision of breaking up was the roughest/scariest one. another one that comes to mind was back when i was choosing which college to attend; i think taking the leap of faith and choosing mit was also terrifying for me.

aphrodite - what do you think of yourself?

i think... that i tend to overthink and overstress about a lot of things :) and that i probably need to watch less netflix and work harder

minerva - do you generally give good advice?
