Day 9/145 - 28/12/2017
Today has been quite a productive day! Here are the notes I made on composites for my materials module which may have taken me about 2 and a half hours to make…
I also took my dog out for a walk and I saw maybe 10 black labradors! It was so good! There was even a 12-week old black lab puppy! Then I helped to make dinner for my family before catching up on a lecture that I missed before the holidays.
Now I am off to play Overcooked with my siblings! :)
Day 8/145 - 27/12/2017
Had a very productive day! Worked for 4 hours on practice questions for statics. I feel a little better about that exam now but I still make so many mistakes so there’s a lot more to do… I am settled into my study timings (35 minutes working, 5-minute break for 3 cycles before a 20-minute rest) and I genuinely enjoyed working through the really tricky problems today.
Had a long break after doing about 3 hours of work and watched Sing and it was very cute and I ate some of the yummy chocolate I got given for Christmas.
Hopefully another productive day tomorrow, I hope you are all enjoying your studies :)
girls in STEM fields, reblog if you agree

my electricity notes ft. the rain
such cute notes!
I didn’t really like the electricity topic at GCSE physics.. I found it really tricky to revise and make notes on but it all turned out okay in the end
thank you !!
I had trouble getting my head around some of the concepts at first but it’s making sense now.
im glad it turned out okay! How are you finding engineering?
oh that's great! if is starting to make sense by this point in the year you'll be so ready by the time the exams come.
I really love the engineering course I'm doing! it's general engineering for the first year and a half so I'm getting to try out modules from lots of different areas which is very fun.
Finding motivation to study is much easier because each module is so different so there's almost always one that I feel like studying.
New URL!
Changed my URL from xkl-eddie to eddie-studies
It’s a little more relevant and I like it a lot! :)
Day 7/145 - 26/12/2017
This morning was productive and I used the Pomodoro technique again today but I decided to adjust the timings a little so they suited me more (35 minutes working, 5 minutes rest for 3 sessions before the longer 20-minute rest.)
I was working on some mechanics ready for the exam on the 10th of January.
Today my grandparents went home and my brother did too… I have a little bit of regret over not spending so much time with them while they were here for the holidays but I had to study so it is for the best long-term.
Slept all afternoon and then woke up and made a big salad (with the vegan Quorn cooked in water and paprika and tahini for the dressing.) I figured it was time to stop eating all the Christmas junk and get back into healthier patterns.
engineering school gothic
you are in three classes that use bernoulli’s equation. none of the equations are the same. your teachers do not know who bernoulli is. did bernoulli even exist?
there is a problem set. it is not on the syllabus. the first question is a blank page. you look through the whole set. it is all blank, except for the last page. you think it says “run”. you do not know. it is not written in binary.
this is an ethics class. you are not sure why you are here. you do not need ethics. you have never needed ethics. “it’s a joke class,” whispers an upperclassman. you do not understand why it is funny.
abet. the name echoes through the halls of the mechanical engineering building. no one knows what it means.
you are studying the tacoma narrows bridge for the fifth time. your differential equations professor tells you it is not an example of resonance. your engineering professor tells you it is. you are not sure who to trust.
there are six bernoullis. only four of them are related. they all look the same.
the environmental science majors have to take a class to learn excel. you do not understand. you have always known excel, haven’t you? you do not remember learning it.
you solve a triple integral and stop, confused. it has become a ricotti equation. you have forgotten ohm’s law.
euler has done everything. there is a portrait of euler in the english building. when you look into its eyes, something disturbs you on a visceral level.
you know so many languages: java, javascript, doubt, python, c++, R, matlab, uncertainty, ruby, html, confusion, terror,
your professor cancels class. you suspect a trick. when you arrive to the classroom, your entire class is there, watching the empty space where the professor should be. no one speaks. no one leaves.
the problem set is optional. the problem set is not optional. the problem set is about schrodinger’s law.
three different people have explained mechatronics to you. nobody knows what it is.
your friend says they have essays to write. essays? you cannot remember what a word document looks like. you have not written a paragraph in two years. words are abstract concepts without meaning.
“you’re an engineer?” someone asks. “you must be smart.” you begin to laugh. you have them all fooled. you cannot stop laughing.
no one is sure what systems engineering is. the lights in the systems building are always on. you have never seen someone come out.
your professors all do research. there are bloodstains on their lecture notes. you do not ask what they research. the last person to ask vanished at the start of the semester. your computer science professor hasn’t stopped smiling since.
when you attend career fairs, you are surrounded by students you have never seen and companies you have never heard of. “we’re an innovative start-up,” someone says. “we’re an innovative start-up,” you hear echoed down the hall three weeks later. the words have not stopped. you cannot sleep. you are an innovative start-up.
on a similar note…
if a civil engineering class does not include a slide with the hoover dam at some point in the semester, does that class really exist?
you are using the variable Q in 5 classes this semester, it means something different in each class.
you feel the dread leaving your body as the model once again reduces to darcy’s law. the dread reappears when you realize they can now make you solve it in the midterm.
also you wanna talk about some major garbage: euler and the bernoullis were friends.
ya girl’s in a holiday mood so im doing some blogrates!! I’m super close to 15k and super grateful to each and every one of you for making my studyblr experience so gratifying. Hopefully, I’m going to interact more with my followers this coming year, and I hope that these blogrates help kick that off.

Day 6/145 - 25/12/2017
Today was Christmas Day so no work for me.
Spent the day all wrapped up and cosy in my new pyjamas, surrounded by my family. I have had a really lovely day and got everything I wished for.
I’ll be going to have a look around the Boxing Day sales tomorrow and hopefully starting on some statics work ready for the January exam.
Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!
I can relate
2018 Goals Tag
Rules: write top 3 things that you want to make possible in 2018 and tag 5 people!
I wasn’t tagged but I thought it was a very cute thing to do and I wanted to set a few goals for 2018!
The main 3 things I want in 2018 are :
POSITIVITY - Everyone could be a little more positive and I am definitely guilty of letting myself sit down in the dumps and think negatively. I hope that 2018 will be a time where I can start to move on from bad thinking patterns.
FUN - I need to let myself have time to let go and have fun. I need that time to truly connect with people and be myself which is something I have struggled with for a while. Fun and friends and identity.
DEDICATION - I have always found motivating myself difficult and I am the sort of person to jump from one obsession to the next and never complete anything. I hope to find a goal and stick to it.
I tag: @safrevises
Day 5/145 - 24/12/2017
This morning was spent working on the case study I was given to prepare for my business exam in January. I tried out the Pomodoro method for the first time and I found that I wanted to keep going with my work for longer and I stayed motivated.
After that, I went to a pub with my dad to wish a family friend happy birthday and have a drink.
My sister and I exchanged gifts this evening after we ate dinner and I got some lovely fairy lights and a Harry Potter mug from her.
Very ready for Christmas Day and spending time with my family but I hope I can get a good night’s sleep first.

writing adult emails is awful
its like
hi [name of person],
this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student.
I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.
thanks!
- [name]
k
-professor
I have a stock format and structure I use.
Dear Person I am Writing To:
This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.
This optional paragraph describes in more detail what’s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there’s a lot of information, it’s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.
If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.
This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I’m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it’s not included.
Closing salutation,
Signature.
People always ask me how I can fire off work emails so quickly. Nobody has figured out yet that it’s the same email with the details changed as needed.
reblog to save a life holy shit
Just had to send one of these emails - why didn’t I see this before hand?!
Day 4/145 - 23/12/2017
Today was a day off from university studies. I took a trip to London and met up with a couple of my friends from my uni halls and we went to a vegan festive market and wandered around London for a while.
While I was travelling I was listening to all the Pentatonix Christmas themed covers on shuffle which I love and always have stuck in my head (even in June!)
When I got back I helped make dinner and we ate and then exchanged Secret Santa gifts with my family and celebrated my brother’s birthday which was really nice. I feel a little more in the festive spirit now.
It was nice to have a day dedicated to not studying but I still didn’t feel that I could fully connect with people and what we were doing because of the stress of the work.
Tomorrow will be a day for productivity before Christmas day which will be another no-study day.
You Are Going To Have So Much Success In 2018 (pass it on)
Need this sweet success!
Wishing everyone well in 2018 :)
