#studyburst-studies

Hey guysssss. Sorry I’ve been so quiet on here these past couple of days. Essentially, I’m doing my biology coursework in one day (why did I do IB? 😭) because I’ve been writing a proposal for my school to raise more racial and cultural awareness and increasing ethnic inclusivity 🥰. Ahhhhh, I’m so excited because I thought my prefect team would be so against it but they all for it which is nice.

Also, I got my report yesterday. It’s not bad but I’m annoyed that it could’ve been better if my teachers didn’t cap my point score and we’re more honest with their feedback. My French teacher said my speaking wasn’t that good but he gave me 20/24 on my last speaking (a couple of weeks ago) and told me it was great? I’m a bit confuzzled because why is 2+2=5 please? 😭 Anyways, that’s left me feeling lowkey gutted but I know that the only grades that really matter are my UCAS predicted grades for uni and the ones on my actual diploma.

Fun fact: I really want a bullet journal again. I tried to keep one before but I like keeping all my tasks in one place so I can get an overview and yeah, it just didn’t work. But I found discbound bullet journals and I’m in love 😍. I want one. And I want to go completely analogue with my planning and most of my documents and project planning etc. If you’ve known me before this studyblr, you know that I’m always switching up my organisation system and now I’m tired of digital 🤧. I’m blaming studyblrs for my new found interest 😂.

So as you can see, I have been being productive, I promise, I just haven’t been documenting it!

Now, time for @myhoneststudyblr ‘s Summer Studying Challenge (and congratulations for 15k followers, Sophie - how awesome is that?! 🥰🎉❤️)

DAY 2: Have your plans changed at all because of the pandemic?

Well, right now I’m meant to be packing for a flight to Morocco to go and starve and hike in the mountains for 4 days so yeah, I guess my plans have changed 😭. My other plans though? Not really. Just relaxing, working on projects, studying and just improving my self and my life as it is right now.

DAY 3: Do you have a specific goal for this summer?

Honestly, I just need to finally get my life organised. I think it’s because I’m such a conceptual learner but I can’t just have a to do list and some goals written down (which there’s obviously nothing wrong with). I need to have an understanding of how I’m actually spending my time and why that is and how I’m improving myself whilst still living the life I have right now being the best version of myself right now. As you probably can tell in my post about how to study for uni exams, I like almost a formulaic approach to things so I can play around with it after. Kind of vague but I’m working with it and once I’ve got that down, I’ll happily share it ☺️.

Andddddd QOTD: How do you organise your life?

As you can probably see, I don’t 😭. But that is all about to change. I’ve used Notion (which I liked) and right now I’m using a combo of apps (Things 3, Fabulous, Done, Notebook etc.) but I’ve decided I’m switching to an analogue bullet journal. Let’s see how long this will last 🤧.

my first train ride in many months because of the pandemic. it’s a small thing but i was happy to sit on a train again
