18|11|19 1/100 days of productivity

I went to the library to push myself to study a topic I've been stuck on for some time since I don't really understand it or find it interesting. Well, I ended up taking notes for a different subject instead, so half win, I guess...

Didn't believe I could push myself to finish this chapter from Intro to information science today, but I succeeded :)

I'm really hoping next semester I can transfer to English language and literature, because I am truly hating my current major more and more with each lesson and chapter. In the meantime, I read a few poems by Allen Ginsberg today, to appease my soul :D ~for the burden of life is love~

Wish me luck. I'm hoping everyone else out there is struggling less than me. If you're in the same place as me, I believe it will get better for both of us! You can do it!

When it's just your second day of the challenge but you get a stomachache, so you stay in bed the entire day and watch k-drama...

I did read a chapter from our textbook at least :) Small steps add up~

Went through a bunch of lecture slides in my school library after class ☆~

20|11|19 3/100 days of productivity

It doesn't look like that much in a photo but I went through 3 presentations= about 5 lectures today and I feel really proud. I slacked a bunch on this one subject because I had so many deadlines for other ones; I'm so happy I got all caught up in just one day :')

Also, I reconnected with my girl squad from high school yesterday evening and got to talk to them about how I'm unhappy with my major and they reccomended I should think of it as a trial run - to figure out college at a neutral place before I get to the major I really want, so that I excel once I do. Now I feel a whole lot less dissapointed in myself for choosing wrong for my first try ♡

I usually jot down notes very quickly and messily in class and then rewrite them, including notes from following readings we get from the professors. This is the only subject where I take notes directly during lecture, because the professor isn't a good speaker and often confuses himself or talks in loops - I just read from the slim textbook he provided to us before the lecture and then compile the notes during class, just referencing his presentation in case there is some diagram or piece of information that I hadn't seen before.

The lectures are so chill I often read during class and still don't miss anything of importance. Also the final exam is going to be from home and we're allowed to use our notes during the exam. So these notes look quite different, because I won't be studying from them too diligently but will rather need to find information in them by scanning the pages very quickly.

I'm continuing to read Allen Ginsberg ☆ ~What came is gone forever every time- That's good! That leaves it open for no regret.~ (Kaddish)

Missing all of my family while at college, but especially this little guy♡ Wishing a good day to everyone.

Yesterday was an absolutely unproductive day, because I felt really sick; I had to leave from lectures even. But today I'm feeling way better and I'm back on my feet. No lazy weekend for me right now :D

26|11|19 9/100 days of productivity

Just took notes from two chapters of Intro to information science :) It always takes a bit of coercing to do, because I truly despise this subject, so I always do as much as I can before my head starts hurting and promptly let it be and go watch k-drama.

27|11|19 10/100 days of productivity

I had a not so terrible day today ^-^ On wednesdays I have a class where we look at old manuscripts and incunables; I'd say it's the one subject that I thoroughly enjoy, so I tend to my happiest and most productive on wednesdays, at least out of the workdays.

29|11|19 11/100 days of productivity

Getting at least a bit of reading done in school, since we're going to town in the afternoon :)

2|12|19 13/100 days of productivity

I had to go to the city archive for one essay I have. I actually already went there once, but found out I hadn't written down all of the information I need, but I'm not one bit mad I had to go back, because it's in a beautiful part of the city ♡

I've been feeling really down because of how unsatisfied I am with my major and how I don't know yet how I can change it. But getting to go the archive and seeing this part of the city is an experience I'm truly thankful for. I wouldn't have ever done this at a different major. Today for once I truly feel that this semester I'm not just wasting my time, but that there's something good to everything :') We'll see if this means something for my productivity or not :D But at least for once I don't feel garbage.

Wishing good vibes upon everyone ☆~

I wanted to take notes from four chapters, but in the end I could only do two. I shouldn't stress about it too much; done is better than none!

I have no other choice but to do my best and go at my own pace, especially since I'll be changing majors, none of this is important enough to fret over. Anxiety still kicks in sometimes regardless :/

4|12|19 15/100 days of productivity

I have a lecture in the city library on Wednesday, so afterwards I always do a chapter of a textbook that is accessible on the computers there.

Other than that I spent the entire day running some errands and doing homework. For Information science we had to try one online application and then write a review for it. It's due this Sunday, so I might be the first person to have handed it in :D Glad to have it out of the way, because I did not want to do it.

I had a really productive day today :) Took notes for four chapters and I'm feeling proud of myself ☆~ I had technically had time to do one more, but not quite enough energy for it, so I let it be. Don't want to burn myself out.

I had a long study sesh at the school library and after around half an hour everyone in my section left, so for the most of it, it was just me, BTS and the books. I actually had a good time studying for once :)

me: has an important presentation in the morning and has to get up at 6:30am

my brain at 1am: is wide awake and thinks up ways to deliver the presentation differently from what I had prepared

6|12|19 17/100 days of productivity

Not much study related work today. I had to present our group essay in the morning. Then I cleaned our apartment, because it was my turn this week, before going to the train station to catch a train home, for my dad's birthday. I did just a little bit of reading on the train, because it tends to make me sick and I don't want to push my luck too much :')

But a tiny bit is better than nothing. Ten annotated pages I don't have to read later still amount to something! :D But I guess sometimes just doing the things life asks of you is the most productive you can be at that time! :)

I might miss a post tomorrow, since it's my dad's birthday party, but I wish you all a very productive saturday ☆~

Hi, everyone! As you know I was back this weekend. I didn't get anything done in those two days instead of enjoying some family time and throwing a ball to a certain somebody who was overly excited about getting a new one ^.^ Here he is, after it rolled under the couch and everyone refused to get it out for him, because our arms were tired :D

I'm still very tired from travelling yesterday and I had to get up earlier than usual since we had someone come to our apartment for some repairs. I've been a bit off the entire day so I was just collecting my thoughts and emotions and I prepped my bullet journal for 'next week.' I haven't shown it before, but I like doodling in it like this, when I'm feeling down. Obviously very inspired by @tbhstudying 's style; got to give credit where it's due. It's a running to do list for the most part, since I don't really have too many deadlines, much more general things that should be done to prepare for finals in January. But I found that if I write a simple, minimalistic list, it feels like a lot at once and gives me anxiety.

Let me know if you'd like to see my bullet journal more. I'm really only showing it now because that's the biggest thing I've done today :D Aside from replying to some letters from friends.

Hope the rest of you had a great past few days ♡

Slowly getting back into the swing of things :) I took notes from two chapters in the school library and now I'm doing some homework while sipping my favourite tea.

I registered for my first final exam today so a little anxiety has kicked in, but fortunately I've managed to overcome it very quickly so I'm being a bit productive in the evening. Hang in there, fellow students ♡~

11|12|19 22/100 days of productivity

Just a chill day today :) Went to class in the morning, did some reading and took notes in the city library. The rest of the day I was just doing some homework and cooked for the week.

Overall productive but also relaxed. I wish all my days were like this♡~
