winter break vibes: non-required reading, journaling, tea, kitty snuggles, and enjoying the first snow of the season in NYC

Ahhhh exam week is getting way too close for my liking, but on the bright side, exam week is also almost over!! (~‾▿‾)~
07.01.22.
Necessarily broke my four year long streak of never paying for a textbook today; LibGen has served me well but could not for the life of me find a version of my textbook with the problems in it. Did however manage to find a place selling it for under $30 so I suppose not all is lost.
Still on my Ligeti kick - I've discovered someone playing his works on the harp. Hauntingly ethereal things, perfect companions for overcast weather. Half a mind to actually learn some of these pieces myself the next time I find a piano.

Day 44/100..
I hate winter.. Always so gloomy and dark out which affects my motivation. Today I continue Javascript in FCC and w3schools. I will be doing active listening for Spanish today by watching a show without subtitles and trying to understand. 😊
Odio el invierno. Siempre tan lúgubre y oscuro que(?) afecta mi motivación. Hoy, continúo Javascript en FCC y w3schools. Estaré haciendo escucha activa para Español viendo(?) un programa sin subtítulos y tratando de entender.

Dark academia bitches like the aesthetic of studying until they actually have to study.
It's me. Im bitches.
New year archive 2020.
Feeling a bit out of battery this winter vacation, and kind of struggling to get going with revision; but it makes sense, work was pretty flat out all autumn and up to Christmas! (Here's some snapshots).
Just gonna try and rest up at the same time as gently making progress, before I go back to uni next week. ✨

Study Habits for Better Health
The 10-10-10 Rule for Eye Health
This is especially important for when you are using an electronic device to study as you tend to blink much less when using an electronic device in comparison to using analogue materials.
This can easily result in dry eyes, eye strain from blue light, and can, over time, eventually encourage the elongation of the eyeball which results in shortsightedness,
Every 10 minutes, take a 10 second break from looking at the screen by looking at an object that is at least 10 feet (approx. 3 metres) away from you
Personally, I find that it is most beneficial to look out a window at the environment around me to give my eyes relief from artificial light and to look at objects that are further away
If you do not have access to a window or an object far enough, looking at the furthest object you can find works well too
You can remember to do this by setting reminders, making a mental note while keeping an eye on the clock, or by incorporating this habit with the 10 minute planning technique
This helps with being more mindful of how much time you spend looking at a screen as well as monitoring how much time you have been working
Additionally, taking just a few seconds to look away from your screen allows you to be more conscious of your surroundings and to take stock of how you feel mentally and physically
I find that this habit has drastically improved my eye health and has reduced my stress when working
Taking a moment to step back from my work to focus on something within my environment prevents me from feeling overwhelmed by the work I'm doing
By removing myself from the situation, I allow myself to have an outsider's perspective and logically analyse how much I have left to do
Sometimes, when you're completing many tasks or large tasks, it feels like you're in a terribly huge pile of work but taking a step back allows you to regain control and say "It's only 3 tasks, I can do this"
Yoga Blocks, Textbooks, Pillows, or Variation for Spine Health
Often times, many of us tend to slouch or hunch over whilst studying or working. This consistent incorrect posture puts strain on your spine which can lead to inconvenient neck, shoulder, and back pain.
It is crucial to maintain correct and comfortable posture to ensure that our spine is in good health to allow us to work and go about our daily lives in comfort.
While sitting at my desk, I like to place a yoga block, a small textbook, a firm pillow, or a similar object perpendicular to my lower back and my chair
This instantly improves my posture by pushing me to sit upright rather than slouching or hunching over my desk
It is important to be lightly holding the yoga block or book perpendicular to the chair's backrest rather than leaning on the object
Heavily leaning on the object may pinch the spine and do more harm than good
Lightly holding the object makes your back muscles work consistently to make you sit upright which strengthens the back muscles and works to improve the overall alignment of the spine
This position must be comfortable, neutral, and feel natural
Another way of protecting your spine, as well as your whole body, is to work in different positions
Instead of the traditional work position of sitting at a desk, you could try standing, laying down on your front, or even sitting on your calves to work
Varying the positions in which the body is stationary for long periods of time prevents tension from building in specific areas which may lead to pain or cramping at a later stage
This also encourages the strengthening of the smaller muscles that assist in maintaining these positions
On occasion, I even like to study or watch lectures while holding a yoga position or stretching to keep my body in healthy condition
Pillows placed on your seat or behind your back can also help in protecting your spine from cramping or muscle soreness from sitting on a hard surface for prolonged periods of time
This option seems very simple but it can make the world of a difference in your comfort as you study
Maintaining Your Hand Health
Your hands are one of the most crucial components of your body. When studying, you use your hands to write, draw, type, and investigate. It is always important to take care of every part of your body but your hands need particular care.
When you are writing, ensure that your neck, torso, shoulders, arm, and hand are in a natural, comfortable, and neutral position
There should be no tension in your body and you should be sitting upright to prevent you from tiring easily
If you need to, rest your wrist on a small, plush object such as a a mousepad's wrist pad, a small cushion, a soft pencil case, or a folded piece of cloth
There is no single correct way to hold a pencil but there is criteria to help you find your personal optimal grip
You should be able to see exactly what you are writing without any of your fingers obstructing your view
Your hand should feel comfortable, controlled, and relaxed as you write
Your writing should be efficient, economic, and fluent
Using this criteria, my own pen grip is where my thumb, index, and middle fingers are the only fingers that hold and control my pencil while my ring and pinkie finger rest on my writing surface for support and mobility
When you are typing, your hand joints are vulnerable to strain due to the constant impacts of your fingers striking the keys
Even if your taps on the keys are gentle, this continuous movement can still strain the joints
Ensure that your wrist is relaxed and has a comfortable form of padding to rest on if you need to
Typing with all of your fingers helps distribute the force and movement of typing which results in less strain on each finger but learning this does take time and effort
With any form of using your hands, the most important health care for your hands is to stretch them
The simple act of stretching your hands greatly relieves muscle tension which assists in preventing the development of any ailments
Stretching your hands also improves mobility and assists with fine motor control to allow more precise and stable hand movements
The ideal stretches for the hands include extending your arm whilst turning your palm to the ceiling and gently pulling your four fingers downwards; gently pulling and rotating the thumb towards your upper arm with your palm facing inwards; clenching and unclenching your hands; wiggling your fingers; and interlocking your fingers and rotating your palms downwards to face away from you whilst extending your arms forward, then moving them above your head
You use your body as a vessel to gain knowledge from your physical environment.
Take good care of your body and it will take good care of your mind.♡
Education should always improve your mental and physical health.
