124 days left

Suprisingly, my exam today went alright despite the fact that i hadn't studied much 0-0

Okay so computer's going alright, I've completed 2 lessons out of 4 and if i complete like Part 1-3 in the other two lessons, I'll be done for the exam. Since the majority of this year's syllabus was already covered in junior year, I'm kinda really confident with the topics :D

Today I:

Completed 2 lessons out of 4

Tomorrow's To-do list:

Revise Computers

Study for accounts mid-term (2 lessons)

I'm honestly crying, you know? Just 2 more exams for these exams to end for the month and then we have exams in another 15-20 days... no idea how I'll manage especially since there is a school event coming up + there is such a huge portion to cover. I'm kinda panicking right now T-T

Ok but imagine saying no to Tashi. No, after college you don’t want to pursue tennis professionally. You’re burnt out and exhausted by your senior year and don’t enjoy it anymore. You don’t have fun like you used to, when you played with her.

But to her, you’re the pinnacle of perfection. You have so much potential and would have an amazing career, the one she would’ve had if she didn’t get injured.

She all but begs you to do it, and when you don’t she tells you how much you’ll regret, how much you’re losing it. She mourns it as she mourned the loss of her own career.

struggling to read this month i think because i've been relying too much on the kindle app and then i just get distracted on my phone... i know i should pick up a physical book but i'm reading 2 ebooks and i refuse to abandon them. also not working a lot either which means i'm not getting as much audiobook time as usual lol

like at some point isn't this all just sajaegi one way or another 🧍🏽‍♀️

yeah i mean u can sugarcoat it however ur like 'ur faves wont get awards if u dont put in effort' 'streaming party' 'fan project donate thousands of dollars here for us to buy albums!' but ur pushing false numbers to break a record... to make streaming seem more than it is or to make sales look more than they are... is that why we enjoy music

[gelarshiesprofruitboarder]

The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books

Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities, Columbia University’s required great-books course, since 1998. He loves the job, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have become overwhelmed by the reading. College kids have never read everything they’re assigned, of course, but this feels different. Dames’s students now seem bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. His colleagues have noticed the same problem. Many students no longer arrive at college—even at highly selective, elite colleges—prepared to read books.

This development puzzled Dames until one day during the fall 2022 semester, when a first-year student came to his office hours to share how challenging she had found the early assignments. Lit Hum often requires students to read a book, sometimes a very long and dense one, in just a week or two. But the student told Dames that, at her public high school, she had never been required to read an entire book. She had been assigned excerpts, poetry, and news articles, but not a single book cover to cover.

[...] Twenty years ago, Dames’s classes had no problem engaging in sophisticated discussions of Pride and Prejudice one week and Crime and Punishment the next. Now his students tell him up front that the reading load feels impossible. It’s not just the frenetic pace; they struggle to attend to small details while keeping track of the overall plot.

No comprehensive data exist on this trend, but the majority of the 33 professors I spoke with relayed similar experiences. Many had discussed the change at faculty meetings and in conversations with fellow instructors. [...] Daniel Shore, the chair of Georgetown’s English department, told me that his students have trouble staying focused on even a sonnet.

Failing to complete a 14-line poem without succumbing to distraction suggests one familiar explanation for the decline in reading aptitude: smartphones. Teenagers are constantly tempted by their devices, which inhibits their preparation for the rigors of college coursework—then they get to college, and the distractions keep flowing. “It’s changed expectations about what’s worthy of attention,” Daniel Willingham, a psychologist at UVA, told me. “Being bored has become unnatural.” Reading books, even for pleasure, can’t compete with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube. In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadn’t read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped.

[...] Mike Szkolka, a teacher and an administrator who has spent almost two decades in Boston and New York schools, told me that excerpts have replaced books across grade levels. “There’s no testing skill that can be related to … Can you sit down and read Tolstoy? ” he said. And if a skill is not easily measured, instructors and district leaders have little incentive to teach it. [...] The pandemic, which scrambled syllabi and moved coursework online, accelerated the shift away from teaching complete works.

[...] But it’s not clear that instructors can foster a love of reading by thinning out the syllabus. Some experts I spoke with attributed the decline of book reading to a shift in values rather than in skill sets. Students can still read books, they argue—they’re just choosing not to. Students today are far more concerned about their job prospects than they were in the past. Every year, they tell Howley that, despite enjoying what they learned in Lit Hum, they plan to instead get a degree in something more useful for their career.

[...] For years, Dames has asked his first-years about their favorite book. In the past, they cited books such as Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Now, he says, almost half of them cite young-adult books. Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series seems to be a particular favorite.
