Today I studiet to my Math test. At night I didn't do nothing, things are stressfull at home, so decided to clear the mind. Tomorrow I need to start to look at the others classes too. Didn't take any photo so decided to post old ones, this is where I keep my notes, I customized and I'm really proud of it. Maybe I'll post more pics someday.

Today I studied for my math exam, but still need to study for organic and geral chemistry. Think I'll have time enough. The day was so humid, my books will suffer.

So today is a day of old pics again hehe. I woke up with my dog running after the chickens. YES CHICKENS. Yesterday my grandma brought home a rooster and a chicken and my dog is crazy to catch them, so I woke up with screams of horror and dread, both chicken and my grandma. But, I studied for my make up test of tomorrow and was it.

Continued my reviewing, finally estabilished how I want to do it. Grammar review then vocabulary, also learning apps when I don't have enough time. Is being hard, I can't find songs or youtubers to train the listening, but I'll keep trying.
Changes
A lot, LOT, of things changed since I opened this tumblr. I "dropped" the school I was in, I lost the will to study, and consequently, stopped posting!
But, well, I just entered de university, and, because I know my house is loud and I'm the one to create excuses to not do what I need to, I think I'll comeback.
As my usual posts were more for myself, so I could say "well, if I do this I can POST" , they will stay the same! I don't take cute or pretty pics, and I don't do cute or pretty papers, but I'm sure we can share some knowledge and hype up together :)
Also, no more chemistry posts, as I said, dropped the school I was in (but I graduated, no worries). Instead, I think that will be a lot more portuguese posts, so if you like languages, stay tuned ^^

my bujo spreads for november!
i’m probably going to break my hand hahaha exams go brrr
If you aren't sure about your wpm, do a 3 or 5 minute typing test here! Proper form means your fingers stay on (or hover over) the asdf and jkl; keys, only leaving temporarily for other letters. Hunt and peck is pretty much anything else.
Feel free to tag with your typing style and exact WPM! Mine is hunt and peck averaging around 60 WPM.
Made some cute wallpapers if someone needs a new look for your phone.
one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
Thank you for compiling this <33
Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Writing Notes: The Five-Factor Model of Personality
Culture is transmitted to people through language, as well as through social norms which establish acceptable and unacceptable behaviors which are then rewarded or punished (Henrich, 2016; Triandis & Suh, 2002).
With an increased understanding of cultural learning, psychologists have become interested in the role of culture in understanding personality.
The 5 Personality Traits According to this Model
OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE
Refers to a person's imagination, feelings, actions, ideas
LOW score: More likely to be practical, conventional, prefer routine
HIGH score: More likely to be curious, have a wide range of interests, be independent
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
Competence, self-discipline, thoughtfulness, goal-driven
LOW: Impulsive, careless, disorganized
HIGH: Hardworking, dependable, organized
EXTROVERSION
Sociability, assertiveness, emotional expression
LOW: Quiet, reserved, withdrawn
HIGH: Outgoing, warm, seeks adventure
AGREEABLENESS
Cooperative, trustworthy, good-natured
LOW: Critical, uncooperative, suspicious
HIGH: Helpful, trusting, empathetic
NEUROTICISM
Tendency toward unstable emotions
LOW: Calm, even-tempered, secure
HIGH: Anxious, unhappy, prone to negative emotions
Applicability
The idea that personality can be described and explained by five traits (OCEAN) has important implications, as does the fact that most personality tests were constructed and initially tested in Western countries.
Western ideas about personality may not apply to other cultures (Benet-Martinez & Oishi, 2008).
2 Main Cultural Approaches for Researching Personality
Etic traits - considered universal constructs that are evident across cultures and represent a biological bases of human personality. If the Big Five are universal then they should appear across all cultures (McCrae and Allik, 2002).
Emic traits - constructs unique to each culture and are determined by local customs, thoughts, beliefs, and characteristics. If personality traits are unique to individual cultures then different traits should appear in different cultures.
Using an Etic Framework
Cross cultural research of personality uses an etic framework and researchers must ensure equivalence of the personality test through validation testing.
The instrument must include equivalence in meaning, as well as demonstrate validity and reliability (Matsumoto & Luang, 2013).
Example: The phrase feeling blue is used to describe sadness in Westernized cultures but does not translate to other languages.
Differences in personality across cultures could be due to real cultural differences, but they could also be consequences of poor translations, biased sampling, or differences in response styles across cultures (Schmitt, Allik, McCrae, & Benet-Martínez, 2007).
Personality Test/Measure Used: The NEO-PI
Most of the cross-cultural research on the Five-Factor Model (FFM) and Big Five (OCEAN) has been done using the NEO-PI (and its subsequent revisions; i.e., it is an assessment tool developed to measure the 5 dimensions of personality according to the FFM) which has demonstrated equivalence, reliability and validity across several cross-cultural studies (Costa & McCrae, 1987; McCrae, Costa & Martin, 2005).
Research using the NEO-PI found support for the entire Five-Factor Model in Chinese, Dutch, Italian, Hungarian, German, Australian, South African, Canadian, Finnish, Polish, Portuguese, Israeli, Korean, Japanese, and Filipino samples, in addition to other samples (McCrae, Costa, Del Pilar, Rolland, & Parker, 1998).
NOTE
Personality tests rely on self-report which is susceptible to response bias like socially desirability responding.
To evaluate this possibility, McCrae and colleagues (2005) recruited students from 50 cultural groups and modified the NEO-PI to be in the third person (i.e., he, she, his, her):
The research participants were asked to complete the form on someone else that they knew very well (McCrae et al., 2005).
The same 5 factors emerged in this study.
These results provided empirical support for the FFM and for the use of self-report instruments when conducting cross-cultural personality research.
There was no reason for the students to respond in a desirable way because they were answering questions about someone else.

One of the most helpful things I've learned this month when it comes to jealousy (or just insecurity in general) is that you need to allow yourself to be a student sometimes.
You don't have to be the smartest person in the room all the time, you can just let other people take the lead and learn from them because knowledge is collaborative. The act of sharing and learning things from other people can actually be so beautiful if you just let it
