18. 2. 2020 - My 2nd Semester Starts :)

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? ♡

27. 1. 2020: I have no photo from my study, so have an unoriginal meme :D Yeah, today wasn't too fun for me. Because the finals I have left are both oral exams, I'm mostly just talking to myself out loud in my room these days and I probably won't post untill all my finals are done on Thursday. I'm so tired and done with everything :') but I'm motivated to push through and be satisfied with the lowest grade if it means going home for a little break ♡ Best of luck to anyone else studying for exams!

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

8. 6. 2020 - I actually did a thing! 🥰

So my information science final is next week and I looked at all of our lecture material and took notes only today. Did anyone else spend the entirety of quarantine just mentally and physically wasting away?

Better late than never but knowing me I will still feel bad about it untill the end of time.

12. 3. 2020 Sorry for not posting...

...my life was kind of a mess to begin with and then schools in my country (among other institutions) got closed down as a preventive measure against the coronavirus. At first I thought: oh, no problem, we'll just get materials and presentations from our professors and we'll do it at home at our own pace. No stress, wash my hands and not leave the house if I don't have to. And then most of my professors got the idea that we would have lectures and tests via the internet, which is my ultimate nightmare, and my parents and classmates started panicking about the current events.

And so then there's my already anxious prone to panick attacks ass in the middle of it like: 'great, I live in hell now.'

I'll be sure to come back at you with some motivational positive energy as soon as I have any 😅

14|1|20 finally stopped procrastinating :')

So after my finals on Friday I decided to take a day of, because I was so tired from studying, and then that break turned into procrastination. But I'm back to my senses now :D and I finished lecture notes for a course about medieval universities and literature that I didn't get to during the semester. I also took a test on my computer at home for one of my courses :).

I got final test results on those two Friday exams and I passed both of them! And I somehow got an A on the one I was dreading the most!

I'm so happy about it♡ Although I don't care about grades this year, since I will be going somewhere else next school year, it still feels damn nice to do well :D I suppose I might be an overachiever sometimes.
