Hi there!

My exam session is going smoother than I expected. Sure, the last two weeks I barely had time to sleep, but I passed most of my exams and I've been to the gym almost every day.

Today I've been finishing all my reports from the last two weeks (we have two weeks to send them) and I did all five of them in a little over ten hours. I think I got this done rather quickly, haha. Today I'm going to start studing for an exam I have on Wednesday from material science and in some time in the future I'll start studying anatomy again (the exam is on Thursday...). I still have to do a mechanics project but I don't even have the task yet, yikes.

Overall, I'm getting bored. The next semester starts in march and I'm almost done with this semester. I literally have to pass two exams - for one I have all the materials and possible questions (from the lecturer ofc) and the other is anatomy, but it is worth only 2 ECTS points so even if I'll have to retake it next year, it won't be a lot of money.

Do you have any ideas on what I could do in February? I really don't like doing nothing because I feel all grumpy and moody. I could get a job, but who is going to hire me just for one (not even whole) month?

Anyways, hope you are passing your exams well and resting enough,

Anna

Hi there!

The exam session is coming up soon so the main thing I've been doing is studying. I came home for the weekend just so I could sleep with my cat, haha.

Today I studied for the total of 8 hours, and it's a lot for me. I did notes from two subjects (computer surgery tools and biochemistry; I've decided to retake the biochemistry final because the grade isn't satisfying enough for me for a subject that i enjoy so much), finished taking notes for the math theoretical exam and memorized most of it (it's 31 pages...).

Either way, I'm tired so that's it for today. Perhaps if i shortened my breaks from 2h to 1h it'd be more efficient haha

Hope y'all pass your exams,

Anna 🫀

Hi there!

I got my worst grade today ever and I actually think it's kind of funny. From the biochemistry test, for which I studied a lot I got the whole 3%. I was sure i got at least 50%, but I did sleep like 2 hours the night before. But my friends also didn't pass so we're in it together.

After classes I went to my friend who just bought a new coffee machine and let me tell you, I'll be there more often. My instant coffee doesn't even compare. Oh and she got me some beautiful dried flowers which I separated and put into two mugs because I don't have any pretty vases. It's a dorm after all. My beer pints now serve as vases for flowers and I feel like I'm getting older. I even grow the green leaves from onions on my window (in cans from energy drinks...).

I studied the total of 4.5 hours, all math. I have an exam in a week but there's a lot more I have to study for, so I began earlier than usual (once again, I feel like I'm aging). I spent an hour doing 4 homework exercises and I did 32 out of 41 questions for the theoretical test. For the first time this semester I skipped a party with my friends (another reason for me aging rapidly) and cleaned my room. I don't recognise myself.

Welp, the exam session is starting soon so I'll be TIRED. But maybe I'll finally learn something.

Have fun and study for your exams,

Hi there!

I'm not going away yet, haha. The exam session is approaching a lot faster than I expected and I have multiple zero term exams scheduled for the next two weeks. In two days I have the biochemistry exam, and next week at least three exams - 2 from maths and one from a lecture of a subject that I don't really know what exact purpose it serves. In two weeks I have another exam from physics and two from material sciences. There are still some exam dates missing and I'm not really happy about it. I guess I'll really have to do my magic trick and learn the whole semester in one night.

Today I had laboratory classes during which I managed to finish writing a report, so don't have to do this one at home, yay. Then I went for a lecture, meeting from one of the student's organizations I'm in and I studied biochemistry for 2.5 hours. I'm still not even in the middle and tomorrow I have a really busy day. I planned on cooking for the next two days, but my friends wanted to meet, so I have nothing to eat, haha.

Yesterday I finally got the sutures from my extracted tooth pulled out and omg it's so great to eat hot food again. And drink hot coffee <3.

I have no idea how I'm going to pass because after 2 continuous hours of studying I'm done. I'm going to sleep.

May y'all have a peaceful night,

Anna 🫀

Hi there!

Today was a pretty great day, I'd say 9/10. It would be 10/10 if I didn't bump my left knee three times in 10 minutes on three different objects.

I woke up early today and studied maths (I skip 1.5 hour lectures and learn all the materials in 15 minutes on the day of the practical classes or the day before) for the total of two hours - new material from lectures, revision from last topic and a lot of homework exercises. In the math class I solved almost every question correctly, and got bonus points for my final grade for writing the exercises down on a board. I might start to understand calculus finally. (The exercises in the photo are wrong and I do realize now, after waking up properly that they're not even written correctly, but they remind me of that wallpaper with wrong formulas in my high school's physics classroom. Never believe anything you see. Especially on the internet).

My day today was mostly maths and the party I wrote about yesterday. I'm glad I didn't drink anything because I for sure will have a lot to remember from this night (I love being sober around drunk people, especially when there's two sober people and a whole lot of the drunk ones). The guy I was so worried about due to our weird history turned out to be nice today. We are in a lot of projects and with other people, and while that's weird and we don't talk that much, we can actually behave like adults.

Today I also discovered that despite all the downs, I find my current life to be enjoyable and I think I'm really happy. Oh, and my favourite colour now is red.

During the weekend I have to write two lab reports and study for the biochemistry exam next week. If I have time, I'll also solve some physics questions for another exam and maybe open the Spanish textbook for once. Long story short, I don't have to participate in the Spanish classes, but I still have to pass them, so I haven't been to one since October and there's an exam from the whole semester coming up, somewhere in the future. Don't worry, I have passed all the tests during office hours.

There's a lot more on my mind, but I really want to sleep, so remember to study first, then party, and I'll see you in the next one!

Hi there!

Thank you for all your methods in comments under my last entry, I'll try to incorporate some of them when I'm studying (not all at once, that would just be a day without studying haha).

I passed the physics exam! Well, the previous one, which i was sure i failed. Maybe it's not perfect, but 10/15 is good enough for passing! Today I also wrote a theoretical physics exam, which was fairly easy. I did wake up at 6 am, which, believe me, I rarely do, and studied for two hours. In the morning. I feel like I've unlocked a new part of myself today.

About the ticket for careless parking, i did get fined. My first ever ticket, for an action that occurred exactly a year after getting a drivers license. I parked that way because I missed my bus and was late for a maths exam, but I would've preferred to retake that exam (which no one will ever know) than have a permanent record and some money out of my pocket.

After that, I went out with my friends to buy birthday presents for a double birthday party, happening tomorrow. I'm not sure how to feel about it, because my ex not-even- boyfriend will be there, and while I try to keep things normal between us, we didn't talk after our last fight, where I kind of told him what I think about him and that he should mind his own business. Do I regret it? Yes, that I didn't do it sooner. But other people don't really know that we've even been talking and I really don't want them to know that haha. Honestly, why do people feel the need to be in a romantic relationship (some of them, anyways)? And why do I keep picking the problematic ones? Maybe I am the problematic one? (Rereading this paragraph I think that I am the problematic one).

Ahhh, coming back to studying - tomorrow I have a maths class and lecture, for which I still have to prepare, so I'll use my new magic ability and study in the morning.

Drive safe and park carefully,

Anna 🫀

Hi there!

Two days ago I got my wisdom tooth extracted. It turned out that my dentist did have a spot open an hour after I called, and by today it doesn't even hurt. What hurts me is that i can only eat cold foods and it is winter (currently -7°C), so i am freezing. I can't even drink warm coffee to wake up and I prefer drinking warm water. In silence I shall suffer. Well, not really in silence because I'm pretty verbal about that.

As for my studies, it's not going really great - I have a physics exam in 9 hours and while i do have notes, I don't understand anything. Also I still don't really care about passing which i find concerning at the same time. Today I studied physics for around 2 hours and had biochemistry labs that went terribly wrong. For four tasks we had to do, we only did three and none of them showed any reaction. Yikes. Oh, and I resigned from one of the students organisations because I don't have time nor energy to deal with it.

My friend came to study with me, which ended up in both of us not studying and when she left, my roommate came in, so also no studying then.

Tomorrow I have the physics test and classes, then I have to go to the police station because I got a ticket for incorrect parking (on a private property owned by my university lmao), buy a gift for my friends birthday party on Friday and study for maths. And maybe start writing some lab reports from December, whoopsie.

I also have a question, if anyone ever reads this far into my entries - how do you focus and study when your brain isn't braining? I need to study, but there's no point if I don't remember anything afterwards.

Hope you have a great time and park safe,

Anna 🫀

Hi there!

Perhaps for the first time ever I am really happy to enter a new year? In 2025 my life was a mess (famous october-december chaos), I was in a very weird relationship, that I regret getting into, most of my energy went there instead of my duties, such as university, student's council and work. In 2026 i have to focus more on this part, because now I'm failing 3 (or 4) subjects, yippee.

I wanted to study during the Christmas break, but I spent almost two weeks with a flu, and now that it has finally ended, my wisdom teeth have been reminding me painfully that I do, in fact, need to study. Today I've only studied physics for one hour, organized what I need to do before Thursday, and tried not to rip out these useless teeth by myself. Now I'm going to watch some TV series, and start writing one of many missed reports.

Tomorrow I'm planning on studying 3 more physics topics (around 2 hours), and wrtiting 2 more reports (as well as calling the dentist), and on Thursday i want to focus on physics as much as possible. Oh, and I need to drive to a police station because I got a fine for parking in front of my university building. Slayed that one.

Hope y'all have better time than me, and see you soon!

Anna

Instead of focusing on my studies, I bought a clarinet, tickets for a ball with my almost boyfriend and I'm going on a trip next week, which means that I have no money. My car also doesn't work properly and I need to tank it up today, so, once more, no money. This all leads to the conclusion that I have to find a job, which I am doing right now. So, to sum it up. I have a wonderful time, I will go to work, have some more time and somehow, maybe, pass this semester. The amount of subjects I'm already behind in is concerning. But fuck it we ball. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. (ah, another reason I have no money in november despite saving up for the whole summer holiday: I love spending money on people - buying food for my friends? hell yeah. Buying food for myself? Nah, I can sleep for dinner). I love being myself. Kidding.

I'm totally ready to retake math and physics next year

Turns out starting to study at 11 pm and finishing at 4 am isn't the way for success anymore. But i have spent a really pleasant day with my friends (wasn't so pleasant during the physics class). The math exam is in 2 hours and I'm just chilling with my coffee and The Office. I am prepared for success.

To be honest, living in the dorms is totally different to living at home (it's my 2nd year, I know what I'm talking about) - I delegate all my responsibilities for the weekend and do the bare minimum during the week. That's how I ended with 4 lab reports for this Saturday. I'm killin it.

Either way, take care, remember to sleep and have fun - you won't remember the studying, but all the meetings with friends and fun parts of the day will make it into your memory. So who cares if you fail a class (unless you are from a country that only has paid universities).

Hullo!

It's been a month (at least, didn't check) since my last entry where i think i said i wanted to post at least once a week. Whoops. With no recollection of what i wrote the last time, I'm going to brain dump everything that's going on right now, deal with it.

I didn't get into medicine by only one point and I'm still disappointed with myself for this reason, but now i don't think it was because i wanted to study medicine but because i failed myself because i studied what i thought was so much but it wasn't enough. Don't know if that makes sense.

To recompense, I went for a second degree, while trying to maintain my involvement in 3+ uni organisations where I actually do stuff and now I'm debating whether or not to quit it. It takes too much time, effort for me to sleep and do stuff that i enjoy (and earn money which i do not enjoy but kind of have to), I know almost nothing and I don't really get along with most of the people. Maybe I need to let things go.

So far this year I discovered that I'm thinking through talking with people. That may be the reason why journaling didn't get me the peace others experienced. Writing here is somewhat better, but talking face to face with friends, especially about my problems, heals some part of me. I also discovered that I may want to find love and have a family. October 2025 was WILD.

Either way, I love being a student. I have friends, who I think actually like my presence, there are people who talk about me positively behind my back and people who look up to me (especially my friends from the 2nd degree, i love them). Today I went fishing and two days ago me and my 4 friends drove 100km to visit our friend who had a party in her hometown. I was supposed to be back before 10 am. I was back home at 6 pm. That was a very good party.

Brief conclusion: I love being a student, a part of me is sad that this may be the happiest years of my life, but if so, I'm going to use it as much as i can, i love my friends and I can't wait to see them tomorrow. Studying can wait. People are more important than information written in quite a lot of books. Whoops.

Stay safe my friends and remember to sleep well!

Anna 🐟

(yes, i have decided that fishing is my new hobby)

Guys I don't want to study again. I want to sleep and rest and go out and have no care about any responsibilites.

On the positive note, I've managed studying Portuguese for these past 4 days every day. I like writing in my journal in this language, because 1) I get to journal, and 2) it's the only way I can write in Portuguese. However, google translator is the only way of knowing if I made a mistake, or not.

Let me tell you. Portuguese grammar is not for the weak. I know, I shouldn't be surprised, I've studied some French before, but oh my, why are there so many irregularities? Why are the words totally different in different tenses? Why are they sometimes the same? "We buy" and "We bought" is "Nós compramos". Both now and yesterday. And why there are 25 tenses? There is no way that I'm going to learn them all before spring, ahhhh.

Anyways, yesterday I covered the simple past tense, and tomorrow I want to study one of the future tenses. Just to be able to write more in my little journal. It's amazing how much I can understand, but I struggle with simple sentences just because I wan't using the language to communicate with others, just to listen to them. Time to change that.

Today I also bought a biology textbook, because most of my mistakes on the exam this year happened because I did not study most of the material from the book. I just assumed that it was all common sense, hahahha.

Okey dokey, time for me to go, netflix be callin

I think it's time for me to restart posting here again, as the fall is approaching and with it, the dreaded academic year.

I have improved my entrance exams scores, but not enough for me to get into medicine, therefore, this year I will be taking them again. Despite the little time I had last year, I decided to enroll into biotechnology course, where I can hopefully skip some classes as I have already completed this part of material, tho in different language.

I also want to write the Celpe-Bras exam in spring. This year I missed the application date by two days, so I better prepare for it. It seems that the closest examination centers are in Germany, Slovakia and Italy, so maybe I'll skip a few days and merge it with a recreational stay?

To sum my thoughts up, my plans for this semester are as follow:

At least 0.5 hour daily of Portuguese - preferably more, because my favourite study method is watching an episode of a show in this language and trying to understand it without (too frequently) checking the vocab, then rewatching it and noting every new expression, even if I understand it but do not recall ever seeing it before, then translating and making flashcards. It takes me approximately 5 hours per one episode, but I really hope that by January it will be up to 30 minutes of additional work;

At least 3 hours weekly of biology revision;

At least 3 hours weekly of chemistry revision;

At least 2 hours weekly of intense movement. I no longer have PE and thus will not have scheduled time for working out, but I'd love to either join a uni swimming group (if they let me without barely any experience) or going to the gym;

Work. I hate working. And I'm too stupid for a scholarship, yippe.

Before the semester starts again, I will increase the time I send studying those matters, to get in the mood of university again.

Well, that may be it. I think I'll start posting daily or weekly again, it's a nice way to keep track of my time after all.

See you all later!

I have passed all of my exams. Better than I anticipated. I got 4 from maths and 4.5 from physics. What has the world come to? I do not have any exams left for the exam session and, let me tell you, I AM BORED.

My work is deliberately reducing my hours, I have nothing important to study for, I might get crazy soon. Today I'm going to hand out my CVs to some other places in my area, let's see if i can work two jobs with unstable hours and lots of people. Maybe I should start learning anatomy, since it's going to be one of my subjects next year?

Anyways, I'm just as bored now as I was two minutes ago, which is still a lot, soo I'm going to take a walk in nature and try not to melt.

Hope y'all are not as bored as I am 🫀
