A cat friendly layout in memory of my 20-year-old childhood cat Sasha who passed away this weekend. I've been taking care of her hand and foot for the past few weeks, more so during the past week hence why I wasn't very active. :)

------------------

17. Tuesday, Sept. 15th: What is your study playlist?

- depends on my mood, but usually it’s between calming acoustics and kpop

18. Wednesday, Sept. 16th: Study Schedule!

- i actually don’t have one as I have two classes and not very much studying is needed. Mostly, I just prepare for class an hour or so before it and do the projects casually.

19. Thursday, Sept. 17th: How do you organize your to-do’s?

- i lay out my planner and then usually list homework due that week first than those due next week. I don’t tend to list my chores on my planner, but if I do its major cases. i also like to list my activities i my to-do list like if I have to go to the store or I’m seeing a friend!

20. Friday, Sept. 18th: Do you read motivational books?

- not really. I’m more into philosophical fiction and romances

End of week four Saturday, Sept. 19th: How did this week go for you?

- uh pretty shitty lol. My cat died today in my arms so...

End of week four Sunday, Sept. 20th: What is your plan for the upcoming week?

- i’m taking work off tomorrow for some TLC and then going about my everyday schedule with work and online schooling. Might meet a friend Thursday for brunch if I’m feeling up to it.

21. Monday, Sept. 21st: What do you do for your self care?

- the biggest thing for me is not feeling physically gross. if i let myself get into a funk where i don't shower or keep up with my routines, whether that be skincare or everyday chores, i’ll for sure slowly get worse mentally so i always make sure to keep up with those even, or especially, when i really really don’t want to. This question really fits this week as i’ve totally been wanting to just sleep the days away.

August 24th: What classes are you taking?

- Organic Chemistry, Calculus for biological sciences, Principles of computing, The Meaning of Life, and Rhetoric

August 25th: What time does your alarm go off?

- Typically 7:45 am to 8 am so I can feed my cat and slowly wake up before I start my day

August 26th: Do you check your phone when you first wake up?

- Not usually since I accidentally wake up late

August 27th: What is your favorite season? Why?

- In the moment every season is my favorite just because I like change but autumn is the only season I’m consistently happy with. Everything feels cozy and my focus is typically best in cooler weather

August 28th: Tea or coffee?

- I drink both on a regular basis but lately I’ve been leaning more towards tea

August 29th: How did this week go for you?

- This week was hectic with switching jobs, getting settled into online curriculum, and sorting out finances (It gets more intense going forward)

August 30th: What’s your favorite thing about school?

- I have graded things that hold me accountable for pursuing through studying material even when my passion dwindles from time to time. It allows me to not give up and rekindle my excitement for learning

August 31st: What is your plan for the upcoming week?

- Getting stable internet to make online learning so much easier! Also talking with my cousin more through calculus questions since we learn from each other

September 1st: Favorite school memory?

- Competing in robotics competitions both in and out of state. Though that was back in high school I truly miss all of those late nights and being with my second family

September 2nd: Favorite study snack!

- Truthfully I don’t snack often while studying anymore but last year I ate fruity tasting snacks while doing math so whenever I submit homework a lingering memory of taste is always present

September 3rd: How do you take your coffee?

- Lately I’ve been drinking dark roast with three sugars but as long as my coffee isn’t decaf I’ll drink it

September 4th: How do you take your tea?

- My preference is hot lemon tea with honey but I also love any herbal tea and milk

September 5th: How did this week go for you?

- Everything from the previous week reamained as intense however I’m more comfortable at my job. My alternator did go bad though and my car died on the interstate which was scary. Hopefully this week it’ll get fixed

So I haven’t been active in a bit and wanted to do this challenge but have been hella busy, so I'm gonna info dump this and hopefully be able to keep up after haha. Thanks for making this @spell-studies​!

-------------

1. Monday, August 24th: What classes are you taking?

- i’m taking two classes, Management of Information Organization and Museum Informatics.

2. Tuesday, August 25th: What time does your alarm go off?

- i actually don’t really have an alarm these days but I wake up around 10-11 most days because of my dog then I start remote work at noon.

3. Wednesday. August 26th: Do you check your phone when you first wake up?

- absolutely. i am very active on discord where most of my friends are, so I always check that and maybe read a few chapters in whatever I’m currently reading online.

4. Thursday, August 27th: What is your favorite season? Why?

- i live in Florida so my favorite season here is winter because that's the only time we ever get any semblance of a chill. outside where I live, I’d probably say fall though just because I’m not a fan of temperatures below 40 and its always so pretty and the atmosphere is just something I live for. 

5. Friday, August 28th: Tea or coffee?

- anyone who knows me knows I pick tea (I’m somewhat of a collector).

End of week one Saturday, August 29th: How did this week go for you?

- i can say that the last week of august was actually my first week back to normalcy as I’d been struggling with a back injury all month. this week was my first week in which I could do some, not all, of the basic every day things I’d been unable to do for what felt like forever (sitting down, driving, waking up even).

End of week one Sunday, August 30th: What is your plan for the upcoming week?

- i actually didn’t have very many plans for the next week except for work!

6. Monday, August 31st: What is your favorite thing about school?

- right now nothing as my course load is excruciatingly boring.

7. Tuesday, Sept. 1st: Favorite school memory! (Not online lol).

- I honestly can’t think of one. I have an awful memory, so I’m at a loss here :/

8. Wednesday, Sept. 2nd: How do you take your coffee?

- if I have coffee, which is rare, I usually have blonde coffee with a decent DECENT amount of almond milk and enough sugar to make it not bitter at all haha.

9. Thursday, Sept. 3rd: How do you take your tea?

ooo. this one is hard as it depends on the tea. if it's a black tea/masala I might put in some almond milk and sugar crystals. for green teas, chamomile, florals etc I usually take it straight.

10. Friday, Sept. 4th: Favorite study snack!

- hot cheetos and watermelon ICE drinks for sure.

End of week two Saturday, Sept. 5th: How did this week go for you?

- skip

End of week two Sunday, Sept. 6th: What is your plan for the upcoming week?

- skip

11. Monday, Sept. 7th: Currently reading!

- just, ya know, stuff. on a website. might have something to do with a mango...

12. Tuesday, Sept. 8th:  How do you take notes?

- currently I don’t as it’s not necessary for my classes but usually I’d take basic notes in class then rewrite them at home.

13. Wednesday, Sept. 9th: What is your goal aesthetic?

- grunge cottage core? don’t know if that makes sense but I’m not totally sure how else to describe it. 

14. Thursday, Sept. 10th: Are you a morning person or a night person?

- currently I’m a night person but I really enjoy mornings on days I have nothing planned--when I can actually get up for them.

15. Friday, Sept. 11th: Day in your life!

- nowadays I usually wake up around 5 because my elderly, dying cat needs to go to the bathroom or wants water. I’ll then go back to sleep around 5:30/6 and wake up somewhere between 10/11 to take my dog out. I’ll then lay in bed as long as possible before I need to shower and start work (remotely). On Fridays, I work 12-3. I’ve been working on some Slavery related papers from St. Augustine we have at the archive. I’m usually active on discord with my friends during this time lol. It’s a pretty relaxed job. The rest of the day was just relaxed, played a few online games and read a bit before binge eating and going to sleep O_O

End of week three Saturday, Sept. 12th : How did this week go for you?

- it was ok. nothing special. i did get some toner for my hair which I was excited for. I’m naturally blonde but the brassiness has been getting on my nerves recently as I’ve not been in the sun to lighten it.

End of week three Sunday, Sept. 13th: What is your plan for the upcoming week?

- work and classes as usual. I might go to my friends house for dinner as her and her fiancé now have their own place. Other than that I’ll just be chilling.
