[herjourne]

i was supposed to work on a lesson tonight but my headache is killing me + my throat still hurts and i seriously need to sleep early. a part of me feels guilty for not being “productive” today but i’ll still choose to rest early, work can wait.

01.13.21 | what a loooong day 😪 I just did darebee’s workout of the day and took a shower and I feel GOOD. tired, but good. 1 subject/day seems like it’s more troubling than the distribution of subjects throughout the week. I think this is mainly because the doctors think they can just extend and extend our time even though the unnecessary pauses and such could have been avoided. it’s just taxing to be in zoom all day.

after classes though, I just passed out!!! been doing that these days. I passed out, woke up at 6pm, and spent two hours with our research team in zoom. endless zooms. 😱

now I’m on bed, taking a break before I finish putting side notes in our physio trans. my take will be the last before proof reading, and then perhaps I’ll study an hour of physio and turn in. will leave gross backlogs for the weekend because transes are not ready yet.

how about you guys? how’s your sem going so far?

also, a good thing today: I asked a surgery question during gross lab today and our uro surgeon was impressed!! he asked how I came to my question (why we use a lot of NSS during cysto surgeries) and I told him I was an OR nurse and they were impressed idk why 😂 he also said he hopes to have me assist in his future uro surgeries and I was thrilled. 😭❤️

i am struggling to focus so much - my brain goes: we should do something totally unproductive rn, how about we solely stare at this for a while? cool.

Good morning, lovelies! This year, I’m reducing the journals I use as many of them end up unfinished so I’m sticking with, hopefully, three and two of them are these precious ones! I decorated them with my beautiful stickers! A few days ago, I watched Call Me By Your Name and it certainly lived up to the hype. I still don’t like how the story ends, but the cinematography in the movie really made the book come to life. My Italian-loving self was thriving. Also, thanks to the movie for helping me discover the literal masterpiece that is Mystery of Love. This song has my heart. I’ve also bought more new books and, hopefully, I can share them with y’all soon! Also, yesterday, my family and I went on a ride and got to see the sunset and the stars. I was very grateful as it’s been so long since I’ve been out of the house. I hope 2021 has been kind to y’all so far!! 🤍✨

120319 The circulatory system has consumed my last few days and I’m actually not mad about it. Paperless note-taking is getting better and better. The possiblities are endless, and mixing different elements is making me learn a lot more. look at that juicy musculus papillaris.

I started learning how to code a few days ago, because I always wanted to know how to do this. I started with HTML, so let's see how it goes!

9th January ~ Name one place you could never live because of the winter weather.

Maybe Iceland? Canada? Alaska? That would be way too cold for me.

9. How do you keep yourself awake when studying?

Since I'm kind of always tired, I highly recommend drinking coffee! I'm also a fan of napping for 20 minutes.

4.1.2021 | monday

wishing everyone a happy new year!! i’m slowly coming back from my very long and sadly very exhausting christmas break as my courses are starting soon. at least christmas gave me a complete break from all things academic! i watched the mandalorian + lots of movies and also started reading norse mythology by neil gaiman.

Almost done setting up my bujo for the new semester. I completely burned out last semester and took a lot of time over break to rest and think about how I could try to avoid that this semester. It’s been really hard studying in isolation but I’m going to try my best to have good daily habits and not let myself stay in bed all day.

I hope you guys had a good holiday break and made sure to take care of yourself!

05 | 01 | 2021 :: I’d be lying if I said this was a good day. I could barely concentrate, then went for a run and came back hungry. Had lunch and only then did I start working. I finished or polished  a few plots for an upcoming paper and took care of bureaucratic stuff. Nothing fancy, except for the plots, because ggplot is love. Hope that tomorrow will be better. [28/100] though.

January Study Challenge:

2. how are you balancing the holidays and your studies?

I’m studying for an important exam right now so I took Christmas and New Year’s off but other than that I’m studying pretty much the whole time up to my exam. After my exam I’ll still have 3 weeks off though so hopefully I’ll get to do some reading and spending time in the mountains.

3. do you tend to make new year’s resolutions? how well has that gone for you in the past?

I don’t make new year’s resolutions because knowing myself, the pressure surrounding them will make me less likely to stick to them. I prefer giving myself smaller, monthly goals.

4. tv shows / movies you’re watching right now?

Before I started studying for my exam I started watching The Queen’s Gambit and loved it! But I’m waiting to finish it after my exam.

5. why did you choose your major, or if you’re still in the process of choosing (or if you haven’t even started), what’s your thought process in choosing one?

I decided to go to medical school when I was in high school, because Biology and especially Human Biology was my absolute favourite subject. And I guess I was also influenced by both my parents being doctors because I just had to fit the cliché :)

Click for quality! ✨

Trying out a different style of notes- it’s called a pencil scrawl mess and so far it’s working really well for me- I’m making these notes 20x faster than if I cared about what they looked like so hopefully I’ll be able to get OTC conditions all done today!

Winter studying challenge: what is your aim for 2021? ❄️

Decide what on Earth I’m doing with my life, try to make more sustainable choices and pass the exam!
