random physics comp i probably bombed 😭
classical mechanics is so fundamental but also kind of plain
there's nothing more satisfying than the program finally working!! i went through multiple breaks of despair only for the stupidest line in the code to be the issue
there's always all these trackers and calendars online that are supposed to "increase your productivity" "help you be more efficient" blah blah blah
sometimes you just got to write it down on a piece of paper and take it one step at a time.
i dont know if this is just the monkey brain inside of me but after a couple weeks of trying a new planning or scheduling hack, it just stops working. i feel like it's really difficult to just sit down and get stuff done especially at the times i dictate it.
i just want to go with the flow
spoiler alert: they did not lock in for the month of october
(i'm back lol)
i'm going to lock in for the month of october! so i'm making a list on here of everything i have to do this week and seeing if i can finish it
thermodynamics module
photography composition practice
titration procedure / lab / analysis / presentation
midterm review sheet
immigration research paper
particle motion lab
energy conversion lab
add magnetic field to ising model simulation
finish chapter 2 part 1 of cs textbook
mini-essay of music in great gatsby
practice test for analysis midterm
read chapter 6 of great gatsby
crossing my fingers that this holds me accountable. my procrastination is way out of control...
i got accepted into the research internship i applied to!!! 🥳 i guess my interview wasn't that bad after all lol
it's okay not to be productive some weeks.
i feel like i got so little done this week. i had to ask for an extension on my physics work and my essay in english. i barely managed to finish the work i needed this week. but that's okay. sometimes its good to have mental breaks.
a good advice i was given was to separate the work from relaxation.
when you are studying, you are studying. less distractions when you are working, and good mental breaks (like going outside or grabbing a snack). but when you are relaxing, you are relaxing. don't let the guilt of not getting stuff done eat at you.
put it in your schedule to relax or something, but sometimes you need breaks. sometimes its difficult for me to get up and do work, and i feel horrible for not being able to do that. but at the same time, its a sign that my mind and my body needs the rest.
go to sleep <3
only 3K words????? for the amount of pain this paper has caused me???? im so glad im done with this.
Messy notes are so nice to make! The diagrams just hit different. Reading back through it is a pain though.
I love aesthetic notes but its not realistic for a lot of people. If it is for you, that is amazing! But this is an appreciation post for messy/near-unreadable notes, notes that still work as notes and help you get good marks but don't look pretty "like they should"
(These are my revision notes for C7 Chemistry)
last week this actually worked a little bit, so i'm going to continue doing this. unfortunately, i didn't finish my research paper on immigration by the due date, so i got an extension to this wednesday.
FINISH immigration research paper
submit to photography competition
study for lab quiz :)
gas law and graham's law problem sets
thermodynamics problem set
physics quiz
thermodynamics frq
revise mini-essay
finish enigma machine simulation
probability problem sets
sometimes i feel like school sucks everything out of me. i have all this motivation and excitement at the beginning of the week, but then school happens and i have all this useless homework. meanwhile there is stuff i actually want to do and am interested in... but i never have the chance to do them because i'm so tired and i still have homework to do. i feel like i'm sacrificing a bit too much of my self just to please my school and my teachers
on a brighter note, i think i discovered the identity of the unknown acid! i'm super nervous to go back to the lab now though and collaborate with my team. hopefully i'm right :)
pretty colors~
i LOVE doing titration labs. i used methyl orange since my lab station was in charge of finding the first equivalence point of a diprotic acid. it was kind of hard to tell if the acid was red, orange, or yellow at times though... but the data is good!
i think i’m cooked for this midterm. and i haven’t even studied for hyperbolic paraboloids or hyperboloids or ... i don’t even remember their names
my test is in two days lol
studying from home tip— move your desk next to a window so that you don’t get depressed while you study ❤️
why are there so many variables in physics? it’s like reading a whole new language and i’m dying here 😭
