I think there’s something so wonderful about recommend a show/book/game to someone and gradually watching them fall in love with it the way that you did. I just LOVE hearing people’s theories about the plot, finding out which characters they adore and despise. When you get little updates from them when a big event happens in the storyline?? Good shit

I’ve been slowly getting back into reading and John Green’s Turtles All The Way Down is an interesting one! 
I also just made a studygram!

nov 11 2020: 2/100 days of productivity

today i took notes on anatomy for me to stick to the wall and review and i also went to a basic life support training session for my hospital placement. i’ve been reading more again (current read: I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh) and i’m glad i bought a couple more books recently. i’m only on day 2 but i feel like i’ve been more productive in those 2 days than i have for the last month (which isn’t saying much, but still).

051220 - 7/30 days of productivity

Today I failed in my first attempt at dalgona coffee (we don't have a proper whisker; most of the froth sank, and so did my heart). Surprisingly it still tasted good! It's still coffee anyway haha.

Sorry for not posting for a while, it’s been a weird couple of days. How are you guys?

your first (conference) presentation ☁️

time yourself, please: i practiced once with the presentation in front of me, twice more while driving, and then again in front of a couple of colleagues. each  stop time was different, but i had a good gauge of how much content i would be able to cover. be the person who finishes two minutes early, you’ll win hearts.

use notes if you want, just don’t go overboard: depending on your field, the norm might be to stand up and just read your paper. if that’s you, ignore this, i guess? print out your presentation (at least a version of it), and jot down notes to help clear your head. make sure they’re easy to follow. honestly, notes are a smidge overrated. two of my colleagues were unable to use their (quite extensive) notes during their presentations, and did perfectly! trust yourself to know your material / research...you are the expert!

be comfortable: no need to dress ritzy, just dress confidently. whatever that looks like for you, that’s what i’m talking about. i wore a skirt and shirt, and some wedges (in hindsight, a great choice because the the podium was really tall...and i’m not). someone else wore a smart blouse and pants, and was sitting on the floor playing with a puppy right before our panel! they were definitely comfortable. 

breathe: if you don’t have time to edit, fine. if you do have time, then don’t. you know how it goes, when an artist is never satisfied, and eventually their changes ruin their entire work? applicable here. if you have anything to add, it’ll come to you during the presentation, or someone will ask you about during the Q&A session. what’s done is done, and within the next two hours, this will all be over!

do not rush your presentation: know what the main points of your presentation are. there have to be some things that are more important than others. if your moderator is flashing five minutes, skip the little details! DON’T speed read your notes / the presentation / talk at 200 wpm. your audience will not be able to keep up. maintain your poise and control. the important thing about practicing your presentation is learning how to adapt it to the time constraints you have. 

enjoy the Q&A session: if you are getting questions, that means your presentation really made an impact. congrats! don’t drop the ball here, but continue to have that confidence. if someone asks you a difficult question / one you didn’t consider, thank them for bringing up the topic, and say that you would like to look into that further (even if you never do lol). heck, you may come away with some helpful information!

finally, some short points:

do not read from your slides. explain / illustrate them. your audience can read!

do not read from your notes. they are there for little reminders (key words, quotes), not as a crutch.

gesture and move about. have some energy in your presence, and loosen up. if you seem happy and excited, your audience will feed from that.

it’s okay to pause. if you’re out of breath, stop. if you need to collect your thoughts, stop. do not follow it with an apology, it’s natural!

no ‘Questions?’ slide!

- 6/15/20 -

today is my last day of school! currently feeling a lot of emotions about it. grateful for the time i had, sad i couldn’t get more time, and maybe hopeful for next year. i’m going to be a senior in high school next year which is scary since i’ve been running this as a studyblr account since the start of my sophomore year. i’m still going to be active because i have a paid internship and am partaking in a (paid!) summer advanced class. i may have lost my job but i’m making up for it this summer:)

either way, these are notes from when i took the AP exam and here’s what i’m planning to do today:

work on training with my dog

work on my bullet journal (pics coming soon!!)

continue painting my theatre themed sneakers

finish a season of a show

play the sims !

listening to: right back where we started from - maxine nightingale

Hi!! I am so excited to be joining the studyblr community after following so many blogs for so long! I made this side blog in hopes that it would motivate me in my last semester of college, and as I prepare to apply for graduate schools. I am a senior History major and French minor. My main interest is 1800s travel history, but I also love comic book history and did a huge research project on it last summer. Feel free to message me if you ever want to talk Captain America!! I’m hoping that this will also give me some motivation to keep up with studies being moved completely online for my last semester. Stay safe out there everyone, we will get through this!

Let go of the concept that there’s only one way to love and accept the idea that you’re going to love in different ways. People are individuals and each one has their own love language, so take the time to ask them what that language is! Sometimes it can be outside the realm of physical affection, and could be something as simple as saying good morning or goodnight to them. It could be buying them a little something because “it reminded me of you.”, or even just co-existing in the same room together and doing your own thing. Love can’t be boiled down to one way of feeling and can come in all shapes and sizes. Take the time to understand one another, both romantically and platonically.

Dec. 6, 2019 - I feel useless and as if being productive is the last thing I can do. But I won’t let it stop me! I’ll find a way to be productive and helpful! I don't know when to give up!!!!!

Completed the monumentous task of cleaning & organising my desk. I’m low-key proud of this photo tbh. It doesn’t measure up to the standards of larger studyblrs, but it’s pretty good for a first time!
