9. 10. 2020 - Finished My First Lecture Notes This Morning: For Reference, The Scribbles On The Right

9. 10. 2020 - Finished my first lecture notes this morning: for reference, the scribbles on the right is what my class notes look like. I could never study from these so I rewrite my notes, but these help me a lot in organizing the material in a way that makes sense to me since my prof. jumps around the topic.🙂 How about you, are you fast enough to just take notes in class?

5. 10. 2020 - Most of my courses are only starting next week, so today was lecture-free for me. But I already started with readings I do know about, because I'm so excited for it all.😅🥰 These are some notes from Alan Brinkley's The Unfinished Nation, second chapter Transplantations and Borderlands about the first English settlements in America. I never really learned about this in high school, so it's all very new and interesting to me.✌

12. 9. 2020 - Long time no see :) As consolidation, have a bullet journal spread from August I was really happy with.

In the meantime, I passed two more exams and I'll have my last one this Monday. Busy weekend~ But that's my fault for procrastinating this for literal months until the very last possible moment.

I'm not too stressed about it anymore since it'll all be over in a few days <3

I’ve never felt this called out on such a personal level, damn.

25. 9. 2020 - Eventually I sort of stopped talking about me trying to change my major on this blog, because a) I wasn’t sure if there’s anyone at all that’s following that saga, even though that’s why I made this blog to begin with and b) everything in the world got so complicated even I myself didn’t get the time to stop and think about my progress. But for anyone that was still wondering and wanted to know:

I got accepted to English Language and Literature and am starting school on 5th October. I still had some finals to do and other stuff so that fact didn’t register for me for weeks. But now that’s all done, I filled in a form to leave my previous field of study minutes ago and it has finally hit me, that I made it and it’s real and it’s happening. And although most of my classes will be distance learning and I hope I’ll get to make some friends and not be completely lonely, unlike last year when I was entering uni for the first time, I am so overwhelmingly excited for it all. And most of all, I am extremely happy today.

I might make some infographics about what I learned through this experience like I was planning on when I made this blog, but that will probably come at a later time. Now I want to take a moment to bask in this good feeling and live in the present; leave it completely behind just for a bit. I want to read some of the books I’ve had on my list for years, so I opened Hermann Hesse’s Demian this morning. Later I’m meeting some of my friends from high school and having a sleepover.

I wish every one of you a good day! 🥰

6. 8. 2020 - Took an involuntary break from my studying, because I had some stress registering classes and my brain went ~bloop after that for a couple of days :D But now I'm sort of back with newfound excitement, so I guess taking the break instead of forcing it was worth it :)
