grammar practise

Another day another round of studying croatian. I found a different workbook online which not only covers the grammar rules but also provides practise questions. The solutions from the book were incorrect (their translations didn’t match the sentences + vocabulary at all) but I’m still quite glad to have found a few practise tasks :)! I worked on translating and creating present tenses of verbs - so far so good. + I had this absolutely incredible tasting apple pie🥧

Now onto: studying math, (finally) filling out the application for my final exams

what do you mean if I am an "honest" and "realistic" studyblr? is posting one thing and disappearing for weeks on end not realistic enough for you? :/

I’ve been soooo sick. I actually dropped my math class because I was getting behind already and wanted to prioritize my major/minor courses.

Studied a tiny bit today but was mostly knocked out. Didn’t get a lot done, but it was nice to feel like I was getting back into life.

Love to paste things in my techo. 💙

Hello and welcome to tired & petty bitch academia.

I smoke, I am noncommittal, I spend all my inheritance on coffee, and I scam men into paying for me to go on trips to Europe. Amy Dunne did nothing wrong.

I am reflecting on my goals for this year, and although it is not entirely possible for me to enact all of them right now since I'm at home, I want to solidify my main areas of potential improvement and make them actionable. You'll notice that most of these have to do with personal rather than academic improvement, and that's because while I am always studying, I regularly neglect my well-being to study.

Exercise.

This is something that as an awkward, skinny gay boy in recovery I have always been hesitant about, but last year I made the resolution to try my best at it and pick it up again, which I did! I went to the gym, started playing badminton, and regularly ran. I found my footing and am still so proud of myself for this step. This year, I want to hone this comfort into progress. So, I am going to sign up for badminton club at my university next semester along with my friends, and also go to the gym with my lovely flatmate. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and boost my health all around.

Cooking.

I'm not going to lie, I really slipped over exam season and did not look after myself at all. My eating habits were extremely irregular, unhealthy and neglectful. I do not like to cook for myself! Instinctively, I dismiss it as a waste of time... time that could be spent studying. The way that I am going to combat this is by more regular food shopping, and trying to cook with friends. I don't expect myself to be perfect about this - as I said, I don't like to cook for myself - but I do expect myself to try harder than I have been.

Waking up early.

This goes hand in hand with my overall resolution to get my shit together after the shit-show of first semester! I want to feel like myself again, to journal with hot coffee every morning before going to the gym, to shower early. I am not a night owl, and it's about time that I accept and nurture my early bird ways. Part of this is that I struggle with rushing into things and forgetfulness. It really is obligatory that I have hours of time spare each morning to gather my bearings.

Social media.

I deleted Instagram from my phone and I am begging myself to hold onto the strength and stick to this. I will come online occasionally from my laptop but... I refuse to let another year go by with periodical descent into reels. No more short form content for me.

study diary —

A late post to reflect on yesterday. I didn’t get much done.

I went to the doctor in the morning and spent most of the day trying to track down a pharmacy with my medication in stock. Most are still out of it.

I finally found one, and my doctor sent my prescription to them. They filled it, and I made it to their pick-up line exactly 6 minutes before they closed.

By the time I got home it was 20:30, and I was both mentally and emotionally exhausted from the chaos and uncertainty of tracking down something essential for my well-being.

I chose to prioritize my mental health, and spent the evening reading in bed with my cats. I don’t feel guilty for this decision, nor do I regret it, but I do have a lot to do today.

Some of the best advice I was given by a professor was to remove the words "hope to, plan to, may, wish, etc" and replace them with "I will, I am, I have, etc." Instead of telling people I hope to get my masters degree, I have learned to tell them I will. This does not mean you can never change your mind of course, but it helps to build credibility with yourself and the belief that your goal is achievable. If you are truly unsure if you want something it's ok to stick to neutral terms! But if you know you want something stop taking the power from yourself. You can do it, and you will.

I'm taking a short break from Tumblr because the semester is over, and there's no way I'm studying during my break

I'm back, now I have to build discipline to study, not just to work. I really want to aplly to a very hard test, try a new job, because of the better salary.

It is hard because I love my current job, but I don't want to be an academic, so it is not the right path for me.

I'll try my best!

Wish you all good studies

Let it snow☃️

Took a study break today. Instead I woke up early again (still not recommendable) and picked up my friend. We drove up the hill I visited before Christmas and had a great time sleighing! It really was a winter wonderland. However, a kid drove into me with their sleight so now my right leg is bruised as well :/ it’ll heal…Came home totally exhausted but very happy. I took a quick shower and now I will continue reading until I can go to sleep📚

I felt so physically awful today, but I tried my best anyhow. Even working this hard, the assignments did not get turned in on time. Still, I know that come tomorrow I’ll be grateful to myself for getting most of it done today, even if it’s going to be a little late.

I really wish I’d made time for something fun, but those study breaks were either resting and hoping I was okay or catching up on chores. 😵‍💫

My final papers are coming up now, so instead of outlining I’ve been reading up on my feminist philosophy yet again.

I adore it here, watching people overwhelming passionate about their education is never embarrassing. I used to get discouraged to be here, that I’m not at a good enough university, get good enough grades, or that I haven’t bought every item on an aesthetic list curated by a stranger.

Maybe physically, I already have everything I need.

School's started, but more importantly I'm on the last season of Seinfeld, and that takes precedence.

Hey!! It’s been so long but I’m going to start updating my studyblr again!! The community is so wholesome and supportive, it would be great to be part of it. I’m currently really behind but I spent most of this snowy day knocking old assignments and chores off of the to-do list. Next is catching up on the 19 things I already have missing. Only a month into the semester and 19?!?!?! A few days ago I had 26 so progress is being made, slowly. I have school tomorrow too :( anyway! I’ll probably post again later tonight after I’ve spent 15 hours staring at my computer screen. This chair is comfy asf though so hopefully I make it out with minimal back problems and no great loss of eyesight. Lesson up: Labor, Farmers, and Populism- APUSH 😕
