my perception of grades totally changed since i started uni
#in school i just did the bare minimum a pass was fine and a 3 great#it's insane to think about it how little i did like for a lot of subjects not at all and if i did i'd study like 2 hrs the day before 😭#and i thought this was studying hard or if i studied 3 hrs at least whaaat#well for some subjects i did a bit more#but like it is no comparrison#at uni i also did study the day before a few times but then i did an 8hr session#(i might just need to do that tmrw but the thing is the exam is one you can't study for so literary idk what i'd study so long for??)#(or how to study... it's translation but how tf do you study translation it's highly subjective and there are no practice exercises)#(i will probably just look at the notes)#but anyway for my last exam i spent 5 hrs in the library a day and i already started 2 weeks before (altough just in smaller bits)#but bumped it up exam week i did like 2-3hrs on average a day#even if i start too late like i did for one of the hardest test of my studies i only studied for 2 days but like all day or 10hrs sth a day#it by far exceeds the 2hrs lmao and even that was very little for this exam many studied 2 weeks but like i got a good grade so it's okay#but my point is now that i get better grades good one's a C is a massive disappointment for me 😅#unless it was a really difficult one then i'd take it but like it upsets me#a teacher once told me when i got a c on an exam quite a few failed that many would be happy to have that grade well true tbh but i can't#and once i almost cried because i got a C because i thought it was an easy course but it was an oral exam and i'm worse in these#(because in written i often remember the answer later in the exam and then go back but in oral i can't do that)#well that was embarrassing😭 i'm trying to never do that again so if i get asked how i feel abt it say it's okay ig#but sometimes even a B is meh 😅 especially if an A was possible and it was an easy course/exam#i want more A's less B's tbh B's also because i really want to go abroad and raise my grade average for that#i want to go from a B average to an A something average to improve my chances#but yeah younger me wouldn't believe this 😂#i really want to study harder to make that step up to more A's than B's like uni does come quite easy to me#and while i study way more compared to others i still get away with less effort and good results but i could have excellent grades#on the one hand it's good that i improved so much on the other those expectations might not be because i'm almost never satisfied anymore 😅#and i know it's kind of really unimportant because there are real problems and also many uni students struggle to pass their classes#it's maybe even a bit disrespectful because they'd be happy to have these grades and i should be more grateful#but i swear i don't look down on anyone with worse grades i know how difficult it can be and also how outside factors play a role#some have it more difficult some have to work a lot next to uni or really suffer from mental illness besides no one's brain is the same

Happy last day of January! ❤️❄️
I don’t know if I’m the only one but this month felt long and short at the same time. At moments it dragged on, where I was able to almost count every unmotivated minute. And then there were moments where I blinked and the week had disappeared like snow in the approaching spring sun.
What did the first month of 2023 bring you? Did you do exciting things? Created memories? I’m still as nosey as ever so… tell me! 🥰
For me… it was a rollercoaster. I spend a good time with friends, watching a huge concert on tv with some nice drinks, went to karaoke, worked, cried over Seb and Mick (obviously) and yeah… see what I mean? I can’t even remember half of the things that happened 😂
Anyway! I’m sending you all the love and warmth for February, because you deserve that and more! ❤️
Hi darling <3 sorry for the late reply, I'm trying to catch up with all the things I have to do in my life... and failing only slightly.
Yes, January was something. As you probably remember, I felt really low towards the end of 2022: with the depression and the news that my psychiatrist wasn't going to be there any more, I felt like I lost my compass. It was really tough and they suggested I should be in the hospital for a while, to check up on me, but I refused. I was supposed to go to Turin to see my friend for the end of the year, but I was feeling very anxious...
But he insisted, and I went the next week, and you know what? That was it. I felt relaxed, and people stood by me and tried to remind me of what kind of person I was before the depression kicked in. I was strong. Relentless. I stood up for myself and others.
And yeah... something clicked. I decided I didn't want to be the "ill one" any more. I am sick of telling others about my mental state and always getting the "big explanation" on how to feel better (as if I wasn't taking a ton of meds every day just to be alive).
I've decided to push my exams a bit and focus on learning something that I like, something that will give me a better future: programming. I'll deal with my exams when I'll recover completely, I want to kick asses. I want to be my old me. Or even a better version of her.
This is what I hope for you and everyone else that sees this post: look for that spark. Look for it with all the strength you have left and fight for it. Fight for yourself, for the things you love, leave the world behind and focus on YOU. On your growth, on your well-being. Focus on the stuff you like, learn what you love, and thrive.
Have the best February ❤️ and thanks, as always, for checking up on me. You have a special place in my heart.
Love, Gi
