Let’s Be Bored Together

I really don’t have anything better or challenging enough to do without my hobbies and school work. While stuck in quarantine I might as well be here.

I found one of my new favorite stores right in my backyard! I fully intend to abuse this knowledge later when I actually have money to buy some new plants.

Well I guess now that I’m in quarantine I can do a 100 days of productivity posts... starting tomorrow

There are two types of fries eaters; the one that eats it for the fries, and the one that eats it for the ketchup.

Day 2 of quarantine: I’ve completed two animes and picking out a third. I don’t know what will kill me first; the bed sores im going to develop or corona.

Day 1 of being in quarantine: I come home to find my room has become an attic and I have to stay here for three weeks. Take me back to school.

I found this gem of a periodic table at a local volleyball tournament today working as a referee! As a chemist and a player (and a ref) this makes me very happy.

The days been moving suspiciously fast so they better not slow down now. The sooner they’re done the sooner I get to eat at Olive Garden. My dads treat.

Last day before school starts. I made the most out yesterday knowing today was gonna be a roughie.

My second to last day in the hospital. Last time I’m taking an 8 hour shift here this year. I’ll still be able to come in and volunteer for the rest of the year, but I’m going to need a break before I can come back. This has been an amazing experience but I don’t want to hate it by coming too often and for too long.

I kept a journal to record my experiences here and it’ll be great to look back to when I’m where I want to be in life or even a couple days after the fact.

Thanks for the memories.

Been a busy, giddy two days and I forgot to journal about work. This is my daily lunch view from the hospital!

Romanticize your life. Make it into a movie that you’ve always dreamed of. Don’t let no one stop you from making your life enjoyable, not even yourself. Make it beautiful, make it worth living.

Another week done, another colorful spread of the last week.

I’m trying to improve my cursive and practice makes perfect.

I started to write in cursive more in college because it’s faster but I don’t tend to reread or learn from my notes in cursive. So this semester I’m going to have to find a better system in which I can utilize it and still find the discipline to look at my notes again and possibly rewrite them.

Hello, people! The time has come: I will teach you the secret to study for three days and remember everything for your test. This is a hardcore studying session so I would recommend to only do it when you are truly freaking the fuck out. Now, I must tell you: It’s gonna involve some hard work, so sit comfortably because we’re about to start:

REMINDER: YOU DON’T NEED TO DO THIS IN A ROLL. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE DURING THE  COURSE OF THE DAY. 

REMINDER 2: REMEMBER TO EAT, DRINK WATER AND GET ENOUGH REST. YOU DON’T NEED TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR HEALTH IN ORDER TO GET BETTER GRADES. 

DAY 1

First reading of your main textbook

Second reading + highlighting 

Research more about the topic (internet, other books, talk to your friends, etc)

Resume everything (notes)

Do a mind map of main points 

If what you’re studying needs something to be memorized “word by word” (such as: meanings, processes, references, chemical reactions, etc), write it down and put it on your wall. You’re gonna read it several times during the day. 

Write down the topics and key words on a reference paper (you’re gonna take this paper everywhere, forcing your memory to expand from those simple key words) 

Review your notes 

Do ten exercises (questions)

Review your notes + exercises 

Watch a video class 

You’re done for today. Good job. Now rest, tomorrow is a new day. 

DAY 2

Review your notes

Read them out loud

Read them again, but this time record yourself

Listen to it. Twice. 

Review your notes before bed

DAY 3

Review your notes + listen to your recordings from yesterday

Do 30 exercises (questions)

Review notes + exercises 

Listen to your recordings again

Review your notes one more time.

FANTASTIC JOB! Now it’s your time to rest. If you’re feeling like it, read your notes one more time before bed. 

One more time, this is a heavy studying session, and not supposed to be done all the time. Remember to take care of your health and take several breaks during the day. If you don’t need, there is no need to do everything listed here. 

Good luck!!!

I need to be more disciplined in journaling so I’m gonna document it whenever I can to keep myself motivated.

I also already have a journal but because I’m volunteering at this hospital for credit I have to keep a separate journal for that too in which I can turn in.
