what to expect:

probably some student memes and the like too

fun facts + other stuff:

i have 2 cats! a calico and a grey tuxedo, and they are so silly

I’m currently on a mid-session break (I have this week and next week off of uni). I think I’ll take this week to rest and do some Self Care™ (i.e. fixing my sleep schedule), and then next week I’ll ease back into studying and revising for my upcoming quizzes.

i’m trying very hard to feel optimistic about the upcoming exam.

hello from my study break!

i'm actually taking physical notes for ones, and although it's much slower than im used to (i use joplin to take notes on my laptop most times), i feel like i'm retaining more information/processing it a bit better. whether this benefit outweighs the fact that my hand keeps hurting and cramping up* is debatable, so i might stick with my laptop for everyday study and physical note-taking for quiz revision.

*for additional context, i have fibromyalgia
