first 2 weeks of school update

so it's been so hectic with uni applications and whatnot.

i've been getting so much homework in maths. like a looooooooot. my whole class has been working on handing it all in time since at the end of last year, my previous maths teacher gave everyone not the best grade but it's not that bad kind of grade.

in cs, i've made some good progress but i should really speed up my implementation and get as much stuff done as possible.

for my epq, i have managed to finish off a good amount of my research. i just have one or two topics left to research. they're a bit hard to get resources on so it's been a bit harder.

eng lit has been really chill. we've been reading tess of the dubb (that's my name for it). we haven't started yet on a thousand splendid suns yet but since i read the story around 2 years ago, i know the whole story.

i've been writing my supplemental essays. i managed to finish all the first drafts for one of the universities i'm applying for.

that's pretty much what's been going on for the first two weeks. i can't believe two weeks are over already.

summary of summer productivity challenge

it's been a while since i've updated on the challenge. anyways, here's the last post about this challenge for this year.

english:

so i read a bit of the books that i have chosen for my english coursework

computer science:

so i was struggling a lot with php so i switched to flask in the last week of summer. i emailed my teacher about setting up my database and they were concerned about me completing my NEA. i'm legit really scared about cs but i've been making great progress with flask so i'm confident that i might be able to get through this

maths:

i haven't done much maths work during the summer at all. but it's okay rn ig.

epq:

honestly, i feel that not much progress was made with my epq and i'll update the status in my next post.

thank you so much for reading this post! have a great day, stay safe and stay hydrated!

hey guys i got pretty grim medical news recently and im hoping to get some money for future medical emergencies. im disabled and cannot work, so anything helps.

[nmbrs]

end of my rope lately, fellas. time to e-beg.

i’m seriously disabled (including but not limited to ehlers-danlos, POTS, 7 herniated discs, and a muscle disease that has been progressively eating the strength of my extremities) and my mom’s insurance is going to crap out in december. i lost my job last year due to workplace ableism and am not able to receive unemployment or benefits at this time.

with no income at all, i’ve been needing to spend my savings on car repairs, surgeries, genetic/blood tests, mobility aids, HRT, food/gas for myself and my roommate, and copays for the frankly fucking unholy 74 consecutive doctors appointments i’ve had since the start of april to today (7/28). i have about 12 more appointments to go up to the day i have my spine surgery (8/10) and from there i’m not going to be able to do anything but recover for a while. with some other insurance issues lately on top of that, i’m just. really hitting a limit here on how much more of this i can take tbh! my whole life right now is running errands, going to the doctor, and spending money i don’t have.

i put a lot of work into my writing projects and a lot of emotional labor into what is essentially free education on my other blog so if you’re familiar with me and want to tip me for that, too, i wouldn’t be sad about it. anything helps, basically.

Hi 💕 💕

So last month I was accepted into my dream school with a scholarship in creative writing!! Unfortunately, I owe past due tuition at another school that I attended for literally one day years ago. With this debt unpaid, I am not able to receive my transcripts proving my withdrawal from that school which I need in order to register for classes this Fall. On top of that my account has been placed with the Attorney General’s Office of my state.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve raised 300 dollars and I am so grateful. Please keep reblogging and boosting and donate if you can! Every little penny counts! 💕💕

days 4-9 of summer study challenge (august edition)

so to summarise the last week or so, i've just been kinda working on uni stuff a lot so i haven't been able to do much work on my school stuff. i'll be resuming work on my school stuff today (day 9).

[awisemilkaddictstudies]

day 1 and 2 of summer challenge (august edition)

⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾

day 1 - 4.8.2021 wednesday

i was really proud of myself for working today. i managed to sit for two hours straight and just work which normally doesn't happen.

⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾

day 2 - 5.8.2021 thursday

i honestly didn't do much at all since i had to go out for a while. i decided to just work on the main function of my cs project. i'll work on the design later. it just seems like such a waste of time to only focus on the design. like i understand that UI and UX is very important but right now the design is not my priority. i really need to get this working first with all the php and sql stuff which is where i struggle the most. so, i started doing that and it's going fine.

⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾

day 3 - 6.8.2021 friday

friday is one of my really lazy days. like i'm really lazy on a friday. i don't get anything done but i managed to scrape by today.

⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾ 🌊 thank you so much for reading this post and good luck with studying this month everyone! have a great day, stay safe and stay hydrated! 🌊

day 20-31 of the summer challenge (july edition)

🕶️ 4.8.2021 🕶️

so i was a bit sick for some of the days so i didn't manage to get much done. i don't think i've been that productive this month. hopefully, it's different in august. i have to redo my work for cs since cpanel is acting up and it nothing work anymore. i didn't do much maths either. i finally chose the books i want to do for my eng lit coursework but i still have to decide on the question of the coursework. i really hope that i get to do loads of work during the august edition of the summer challenge. i'll continue to stick with my subject timetable this summer.

How to Skim Effectively

let’s face it; in college, you’re assigned a ton of textbook reading. one or two chapters in once class, one or two in another class, and soon you’re reading over 100 or 150 pages a week. this can often feel impossible, especially if you’re busy with other classes and a job. recently, per my professor’s advice, I’ve developed a technique for skimming through chapters of textbooks. you don’t get all the details of the chapter this way, of course, but you do get a good picture of the content. more importantly, you do so while still being able to complete your other assignments.

1. Go to the textbook’s table of contents and copy down everything in the chapter you’re reading.

this’ll give you an idea of all the main concepts you need to know about.

2. Read the chapter’s introduction.

often, the introduction provides a real-life example of what is being discussed, so this will help you understand the material better from a practical perspective, even if you aren’t diving too deep into it.

3. Define all key terms in your notebook.

this is the real detail work of skimming. you don’t need to know everything about each term, but you do need to get at least a general idea of what everything is.

4. Look out for lists, graphics, and italicized and bolded words and phrases.

these elements of a textbook are presented in these distinct ways to stress that they are important, so make sure you go over them!

5. Read the chapter summary/conclusion.

doing this will fill in any gaps you missed.

6. Go over any review questions provided.

testing your knowledge of a topic is super important, especially when you’re not getting the full picture of it! additionally, the points addressed in these questions will be more likely to appear on an assessment, so you should definitely reinforce them.

this technique won’t work well for every subject and every textbook; it likely won’t work well for a science course where details are essential or for a textbook that doesn’t provide many of the elements listed here. it is, however a good technique when you’re short of time, as most college students chronically are.

I hope this helps! feel free to share some of your tips on skimming or reading quickly, I’d love to find out what works for you guys!!

day 19 of the summer challenge (july edition)

🌻 23.1.2021 🌻

i didn't manage to do a lot of work today. i was wondering if i should do a subject a day or two subjects a day since i don't think i'll be able to work on all my subjects with the current work i'm doing.

▸ 🎕 ┈┈┈┈ 🎕 ┈┈┈┈ 🎕 ◂

this is kind of a subject timetable i've made today:

monday - cs, english, maths

tuesday - cs, uni, maths

wednesday - cs, epq, uni

tuesday - cs, english, epq

friday - cs, uni, maths

saturday - cs, english, maths

sunday - cs, english, epq

▸ 🎕 ┈┈┈┈ 🎕 ┈┈┈┈ 🎕 ◂

so i want to do cs every day since i'm working on my a-level nea. i'm also doing english almost everyday since it's mostly just me reading loads of books and i like reading so it's not much of a chore. i have to do a lot of work for my epq since i don't feel like i've really followed my schedule much for the epq.

i honestly can't believe that it's already been almost 3 weeks since summer started. i still have 5 more weeks of summer to go and i'm super scared. it doesn't feel like summer at all. it's much more hectic than last year's summer where i was just prepping for the SAT the whole time.

in my next post, i'm thinking of adding my to-do lists too.

day 18 of the summer challenge (july edition)

🐚 22.7.2021 🐚

i wasn't able to do a lot of work in the morning today so i pretty much just did my work late at night. i tried to do some maths but i fell asleep. i did 2 hours of cs at night and then i read a couple of chapters from a book that i'm reading for eng lit. i managed to redo the navbar of a website i'm working on since the formatting wasn't really well done. it did take a while but i'm happy with the result. hopefully, i'll be more productive tomorrow.

this is the (extremely generic and basic) essay framework that i use for most of my papers! keep in mind this doesn’t account for the requirements of specific classes, subjects, or topics/questions at all, but i use it as a general starting point.

day 17 of the summer challenge (july edition)

🦩 20.7.2021 🦩

hello everyone! i hope y'all had a productive day. mine was sort of productive. so i've been following this tutorial that i thought could help me with my cs project. so far it's going great but there's so much stuff to cover. i genuinely thought that i would finish it in a day but i have to pause a lot of the time so the 3 hours just stretch into more than a day. i can't do cs the whole day so i did some mechanics today since i needed to practise maths for next year.

🌊 have a great day everyone and stay safe and hydrated! 🌊

day 1-16 of the summer challenge (july edition)

i honestly didn't do much work. i did a creative writing course that ran for 2 weeks. i'm super stressed now that i keep thinking about all the work that i could've done for the past two weeks but didn't do. i completely forgot about the fact that i started this challenge.

Summer Study Challenge - July Edition

hi everyone! i'm going to start the summer productivity challenge today. school's going to start in 8 weeks and i have a lot of work to do considering that i'm going to be a senior next year. i'm going to try my best to work 8 hours a day because i really want to follow Ibz Mo's rule of 8, which consists of 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of free time, 8 hours of study, which sounds like a pretty good plan. i'm planning on just following my school timetable so i don't have to make a new timetable. reblog this if you want to join me on this challenge.

Day 18 to 28 of Revision Month Challenge + Exam Fortnight Updates

17.6.2021

sorry I haven't posted in so long but my exams finished today and i thought i'd update y'all. revision went great and exams went alright although i'm pretty sure i messed up in my pure maths exam. i had 5 exams over 2 weeks. i know it sounds like a little but they covered a lot of content so it was definitely hard. i'm just going to chill today and write some more stuff. i want to start a summer studying challenge for myself so look out for that!
