thursday 11.21.2024. second to last tax law lecture, surprisingly i didn't feel very stupid today. i read 2 tax chapters before class today, finished reading for my last evidence lectures, and revised tuesday's tax notes. tomorrow one of my professors is having a make-up review lecture, so aside from that i'm hoping to finish my last business law reading, finish my last health law readings, and revise more tax law and business law notes. i really need to get on top of outlining so my goal is to finish revising notes over the weekend and then have all of next week to outline and study before finals start in december. ugh.

total study time- 7 hours 30 minutes

1 hour 15 minutes in class

2 hours 45 minutes reading and revising for tax law

3 hours reading evidence

30 minutes at a resume workshop

today was great! i’ve recently started practicing yoga in the mornings, and i’m loving it so much. other than yoga, i make sure to do physical activity during the day, and today it was walking.

after that, i spent the afternoon planning my upcoming academic year and the rest of my plan & goals for the remainder of this summer.

🌟 i’m using an excel sheet to track my performance in each course i’m studying. basically, it helps me determine which topics i’m confident with and which topics i’m struggling with, so i know what topics to study and work on everyday (start with the weakest topic).

studying is something I can do forever. there are days and months when I don't feel like studying at all. i procrastinate, I binge watch shows on Netflix, I cry, I get anxious but it's okay. you got to feel worse before feeling better. life isn't perfect and if there's no struggle then there's no fun. I'll continue to capture these moments and let the world know how I feel and accept it with open arms. idk who needs this but let me tell you bud, it's okay to feel however and whatever you feel. you're not alone in this journey. feel free to ask, say or write anything to me

late night study 💤🌙

i only have 7/15 “tasks” done and only 5 days of summer left!

sometimes we have to find peace in being imperfect.

sitting in a room all by yourself and reading or studying might seem boring or difficult but this is something I feel worth doing rather than going out and partying. I only can speak for myself so I ain't saying that partying or sometimes doing something stupid is wrong or you shouldn't do. I've been there and done it all. nothing ever worked for me really well. but studying seems really easier for me now. I've spent so much of my energy on ppl who never given a shit about me and I've came a long way from that. Reading books, studying new topics, listening to music, drinking coffee, dancing alone and traveling.. that's all I enjoy doing now. I can't believe I'm saying this but I find studying really cool.
