Day 3/271 days until finishing my A-level resit

Pretty chill day today, met up with some friends tonight and was totally fascinated by some flowers they had in their living room :D

Did some essay plans for the evaluation of the cognitive perspective

Edited a 15 mark essay for my tutor next week

FINALLY finished off my Observational Methods Research essay!

I’m looking at trying some more study resources/methods. I’m currently using Quizlet and Notion a lot but I’d love some recommendations of other interesting resources!

Snack of the day ~ left over mac and cheese

Hello, I was hoping you guys might have some advice for me :D

I've been taking a gap year (that has since turned into three...) before college so I can decide what on earth to do with myself. Unfortunately, my life path has not magically manifested and I'm stuck on what to do next. The trouble isn't that I don't know what I want to do, it's that I want to do a million different things at once!

I love math and physics and biology and animation and textiles and the performing arts! I've tried making lists of what I actually like about all these things in an attempt to narrow it down but once I have that list... I'm not sure how to apply it. Online descriptions of jobs are very vague and don't actually give you a good sense of what you'd actually be doing. I know I want to go to college, but I don't know what for and I don't know who to ask for help or even what kinds of questions I should be asking!

This is so exciting, sweet pea! Having lots of interests and options is a great problem to have. But I can understand why you're feeling overwhelmed.

We wrote some advice a while back that might help you target your career path. Hope this helps:

study session #001

જ⁀➴date: june 27, 2024

｡ﾟﾟ･ ｡ ･ﾟﾟ｡

ﾟ。 time: 11:30am - 1:30pm

　ﾟ･｡ ･ﾟ

lessons learned:

- significant figures

- stoichiometry

- limiting reactant

―୨୧⋆ ˚ notes:

- it's summer break here in the ph, but i got accepted into one the top universities so its time to channel my inner rory gilmore, elle woods, paris geller, or whichever patron saint of girlbossing in academics i can call upon

- unfortunately for me though, the writer of my life has different plans for me and i have to take a gap year 😞

- well atleast i have time to prepare! the program that i got accepted into is CHEMISTRY!!! sorry for the caps, i just really love learning chem

- it's been a year since i last learned it in a classroom setting and now that i graduated i'll try to brush up on my memory

- my memory is baddd. i can remember the concepts, but i SUCK when it comes to computations. so here i am, trying to relearn them.

- i am so thankful that mit published these online video lessons and review problems for free, because trust me i wouldn't know where i would start studying

- the little guy kept me company whilst i suffered on how to find the limiting reactant (which was embarrassingly easy, and it made me wish that i watched a tutorial first before i started winging it)

Taking a sabbatical has affected my relationships and mental health, who would’ve thought?

As a huge participant in higher education and academia overall, having a corporate job during my gap year is extremely weird and feels like a huge waste of time and knowledge and life and poetry and fanciful bounty and-

hii how was your saturday ?!

i didn't do anything that was on my to do list today 💗 i should learn to be more realistic, but i really thought i'd study, even just for a little bit. instead i was just busy getting ready and running to the supermarket for some last minute lunch

the 国語発表会 was fun! we couldn't be there from the start because my sister had to go to her violin class in the morning, so we actually only catched the last 15 minutes of the show-and-tell. after that, my former teacher told me to visit the junior high (middle school) classroom. and so i went there with my sister & mom and we suddenly got asked to 1) quickly (re)introduce ourselves & talk about how we're doing now that we graduated and 2) what we thought of the play. my teacher literally was like "i'd like you to do that! right now!! 😁". that's what i like about her tho, she keeps you on your toes, and i think it's a good thing to always be ready to speak in front of a group. i've missed her a lot

after that, we went out for dinner with a few (20) people, (former) students + their parents. the food was good, especially the starters (borrelplankje, something light to eat while you're chatting and sipping your drink).

we got home around 21:00, but since it was so dark it really felt as if it already was 23:00 or even midnight! i feel so tired so quickly lately

i hope you had a great day, and i'll see you tomorrow <3

[kiwi-duckquack]

I am going to spend my gap year learning as many niche skills as possible. These will be side quests.

This is my side quest year.
