25/100 days of productivity

Tuesday, 15 October, 2024

Today was mostly the result of me being sleep deprived. I was just sooo sleepy the whole day.

🪐 went to my Microeconomics lecture

🪐 went to the library

Honestly, the desire to wear cute autumnal outfits is the only thing getting me out of my bed and carrying me through the day these days.

🪐 finished my notes for microeconomics ch. 2

🪐 finished my notes for calculus ch.1.2

🪐 finished my notes for calculus ch.1.3

So, this week will be spent catching up on my last week's material and all the homework. It's a lot but I'll manage. I'm really excited about my micro notes though. I'm going to print them out tomorrow. They'll be very useful.

I've missed two days of my Italian lesson on Duolingo though :(

Breathe in and out. Don't lose track of the big picture.

Arrivederci <3

Study Trick That No One Told Me.

Division of subjects:

Every subject is learnt and graded in a different way. You can't use the same study techniques for every subject you have. You have mostly 3 types of subjects:

Memorization based

Practical/Question based

Theory/Essay based

Memorization based:

Mostly Biology, Sciences, Geography etc are fully based on memorization and so you'll use memory study techniques like flash cards and active recall.

Practical/Question based:

Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Accountancy etc are practice subjects. The more you do your questions and understand how a sum is done, the better you can score.

Theory/Essay based:

English, history, business studies etc are theory based. The more you write, the way you write and the keywords you use are the only things that will get you your grades. So learn the formats and the structure on how to write your answers

Note: Some subjects are a combination of the three. Like Economics etc

The reason we divide the subjects is because you can adopt the right study methods for the right subject. Like ex: business studies is mostly based on how you write your answer and the keywords, if you're gonna spend your time memorizing in this, it's a waste of time and energy.

Hope this helps :)

A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.

(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

Wednesday, 18 December, 2024

I did go to uni but it was really roudy and i realised i could get on a zoom lecture so i should have done that instead. Also our schedule wasn't updated i guess cuz i went to the wrong lecture.

Afterwards i just went to the library and tried to study. I couldn't go to my usual library so i went to the local one. It had really bad heating so i froze my ass off. The librarians there were really lovely though and we talked a lot. They gave me some book recommendations for the winter holidays that I'm very grateful for.

🪐 finished the problem set for ch.3 of microeconomics

I wanted to do the problem set for the fourth chapter too but i was sick of being in that library even though the people were lovely. I just wanted to go home and actually i was missing my library so i just went home.

Most of my time this last month has gone to my internship and the exhaustion that leads to me dissociating while i watch Dimension 20.

One good thing that came from today was that the librarian told me about a bigger library that i think i might like in my city so I'm gonna check that one out. Wish me luck.

Don't let the winter take you.

Arrivederci <3

2 February 2024, Friday.

After breaking my head over the audit textbooks and whether or not to make notes, I simply bought a prepared concept book. It arrived today and it's good so far. I feel like it will make audit prep easier.

Trying to study, blog, exercise, eat healthy, read and journal everyday is exhausting. Add a quarter-life crisis in and my mental health is in the absolute gutter. I dropped everything for a while now and instead of being relaxed, I'm just more anxious. I really need to push ahead quickly.

Finally a peice that talks about how 5 of the 6 in the people killed in the sydney stabbings were women. And yes he was mentally ill but he felt entitled to a girlfriend.

By Victoria Smith 16 April, 2024

Did Joel Cauchi, the man who killed six people in a Sydney shopping centre, do so because he was mentally ill? Or did he do it because he hated women?

Five out of six of Cauchi’s victims were women, which does seem targeted. Nonetheless, according to his family, Cauchi, 40, “battled with mental health issues since he was a teenager”. For this reason, some have found talk of misogyny unseemly, if not exploitative. To categorise Cauchi’s act as male violence against women, if not terrorism underpinned by misogynist ideology, can be appear dismissive of genuine sickness. Sometimes, bad things just happen because people are unwell. 

For women who live with men who have severe mental health diagnoses, there is little comfort in discussions such as these. On the one hand, there is an enormous amount of pressure to downplay the idea that mentally ill men are more likely to be violent than other men (they are, but to say so is viewed as contributing to stigma). On the other hand, is it fair for a man with severe mental illness to be judged by the same moral standards as other men? Shouldn’t we be recognising that they cannot control their perceptions and fears?

See rest of article

The Sydney attacker was desperate for a girlfriend, his family has revealed as police confirmed that he had targeted women.

Joel Cauchi killed five women and one man during a knife attack on the Bondi Junction Westfield shopping centre on Saturday.

Karen Webb, the New South Wales police commissioner, said: “The videos speak for themselves. It’s obvious the offender had focused on women and avoided the men.”

The majority of the 12 people Cauchi seriously wounded were female, including a baby girl.

Andrew Cauchi, his father, said on Monday he knew why his mentally unwell son had targeted women. The 76-year-old told reporters outside his home in Queensland: “Because he wanted a girlfriend and he’s got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain.”

Describing his son as “very sick”, he described trying to deal with the feelings of “loving a monster”.

A “heroic” policewoman who stopped a lone knifeman mid-rampage during a killing spree in a Sydney shopping centre has been named.

In one of several heroic attempts to disarm the attacker on Saturday, Amy Scott, a NSW Police Inspector, walked up calmly behind the attacker and ordered him to drop his weapon.

When he refused to do so and lunged at her with a knife, she shot him.

Six people were killed after the culprit – later identified by police as Queensland man Joel Cauchi – went on a stabbing spree in Westfield Bondi Junction, including a mother whose baby is reportedly now in a critical condition.

“She is certainly a hero. There is no doubt that she saved lives through her action,” Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, said on Saturday.
