23. 1. 2020 What I've been up to :)

I haven't posted in a while, but I passed another final, went to Ikea and finished another essay. Right now I have just two finals left and their both oral - from English and literature. Today I prepared my English presentation! The topic I chose is Creative and cultural industries: What is the value of culture and does it contribute to the economy? :)

17. 3. 2020 - 1/30 days of productivity

So I'm doing slightly better and trying to motivate myself to make the best of this uni close down.

Since I had hit a wall in my studying even before all this covid-19 mess happened and now I can't go to the library for a pick me up/change of space, I was procrastinating this whole time.

Not sure if this can apply to anyone else but for me the most daunting thing is getting started with a task, and the easiest to put off. So today a bit the pill and started a lot of things, as in this anxious headspace I'm more likely to do tasks that are already started and just need to get finished.

I'm hesitant to share my personal 'tips' here, since at least seeing my classmates and the tips going around this community, I feel I'm maybe an odd person so my tips wouldn't be helpful to others. Let me know if you are interested in me sharing what I'm trying to get slowly more productive over the next month, what worked, what didn't - that kind of thing :)

And remember that every bit of progress adds up, you deserve breaks and snacks and if you get too into your own head and need a distraction, my Reading Homer's Odyssey professor reccomends Boccaccio's Decameron :D

18. 2. 2020 - my 2nd semester starts :)

I know I haven't posted in more than two weeks. I ended up spending my semester break meeting friends, so I didn't do much I could post. But now I'm back in university and getting off to a pretty good start. How are you guys doing? ♡

30. 1. 2020 My first finals are over!

Today was my last exam in this semester and it went waaaaay better than I could have dreamed of. I feel really proud of myself on this day, so I'm just having a quiet afternoon to myself reading Robert Louis Stevenson's The Suicide Club.

I know some places people have to annotate books for school but we don't really teach literature like that here in the Czech Republic. It's just something I'd started doing for fun, because I really enjoy it. Some books just fill me with many thoughts :D

Now I will have two weeks off before the spring semester starts :) I'll see what I get up to and if I'll have something to post for you ♡

12. 5. 2020 - I haven't posted anything in a while, because I haven't really done anything in a while 😅 Any other students out there that just completely lost any sort of routine. ~We're all in this together 🎶

Thankfully my uni will have an extended finals period from June to September, so I'll be taking my exams as I finish things.

If anyone out there is following me on this 'changing my major journey', the entrance exams got pushed back to late June, which is a bummer but I understand ✌

20. 3. 2020 - 4/30 days of productivity

Furiously ignoring the pile of work I have for my English class and doing anything else instead 😅
