whats your favourite scholarly insult

Big fan of "so and so claims X, but evidence says otherwise"

[cryptotheism]

BIG fan of "it is tempting to think-"

[cryptotheism]

Came across a really good one today:

"but upon more rigorous inspection, we find-"

[katbuchm]

I love academics going scorched earth. "It's tempting to think X" is a declaration of war

[theshmaylor]

All of the examples in the notes are very good, but this one made me yell 'oh SHIT'

[medusadyke]

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

[medusadyke]

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

[hylianengineer]

I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.

The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.

I just want to let you guys know Cornell's entire library is open access (no permissions required) and there are (shocker) many books...

So I still haven't caught up with pharm unfortunately. Even though I spent over two hours on it yesterday I didn't make it through one lecture because I kept spending too much time on each medication. The course just kind of wants us to learn one or two examples for each category and broadly describe how each category works, but each medication works a bit differently so I don't understand how to learn it the way they want me to. I tried flashcards but rote memorising takes all the fun out of studying for me. At least I did a couple of chemistry past exam questions and made it to my appointment.

Goals for today:

Thermodynamics past exam questions

Heterocycle chemistry - figure out the missing mechanisms

Antimicrobial medications for pharm

Exercise 20 mins

I was too lazy to take more pictures lol but I wanna document the exam study anyway. I didn't meet all of my goals yesterday, I only did a bit of phys chem and no pharm at all. But I did do everything else, and I made it to uni! Although I was very spaced out in the tutorial. I did get all my grades back (except final exam of course) for all of my courses, I'm happy with chem but quite sad about pharm and phys.

Goals for today:

Organic chem heteroatom chemistry (forgot the modules actual name and number lol) past exam questions, at least one paper

Update materia medica with two lectures

Start doing thermodynamics questions. I won't say one past exam worth because I feel like it will take too much brainpower for tomorrow with everything else going on

Exercise 20 mins

Make it to the psychologist appointment...I'm so grateful to get it, especially since I was on the waitlist for a while, but I'm also dreading it

[catalogthepast]

I had a good day yesterday, I met my goals, but right now my insides are twisting and I feel like I'm about to have a flare-up again. Which is unfortunate because I have an important tutorial tomorrow that I really need to attend.

Goals for today:

Organic chem module 1 and module 2 past exam questions (at least one papers worth)

Physical chem module 2 past exam questions (two papers)

Update materia medica with antimicrobial pharmaceuticals

Make it to uni and stay for the tutorial

Exercise 20 mins

I haven't been updating my study progress recently but the good news is until this Friday, I was being productive. There were a couple of hours of contemplating the futility of my existence, but apart from that I was studying for exams. Since Friday morning I have done nothing, not even my hobbies, which is very concerning because I have a lot to get done (for studying, not my hobbies). Something that stresses me a lot is that so many of my assignments are not marked yet, which means I don't have any idea of what I need to aim for in my exams to get the overall grade I need. The good news is one of my favourite trees at uni is looking gorgeous these days so in the event of an emotional breakdown, I know where to go to pretend I'm a dryad.

Because it's exam season, I thought I'd make shorter posts for now and try to write down a few study goals. I'll go back to the longer victories/defeats after it's over because I still prefer that, I feel like it's less stressful.

Goals for today:

Do at least one past exams worth of questions for module 1 in organic chem

Do at least one past exams worth of physical chem module 2 questions

Update my materia medica with one lectures worth of pharmaceuticals

Exercise for at least 20 minutes

thanks for the tag! the yn core was funny cos there's two specific people with my name so it was just them core lol (guys don't dox me)

think this fits v well, i like the lyric (plus green bg hehe). scrolled down a bit for the 'aesthetic' cos i find pinterest gives everyone the same pictures for these kind of things (eg. the cat) and that's dead
