100/100 • (posting late) Happy day. 😌📚 Returned the last of my textbooks, and traded them in for plenty of summer reading material! I never get any time for pleasure reading during the school year, so I always make sure to stock up on books when the break starts. Listening to: Conqueror by Estelle

97-99/100 • (posting late) Screenshots of my two projects. Several very late nights later, and I think both videos turned out well! I'm really happy with how I've ended my last assignments, and now I get to watch the rest of the class's videos. ☺️ Listening to: Get Down Saturday Night (Extended Club Version) by Oliver Cheatham

94-96/100 • (posting late) Video editing is a PAIN but I'm way too much of a perfectionist to let myself settle for subpar. 2 of my classes ended up having a documentary project as the final, so I had twice the script writing and editing. I like using BlindWrite for scripts and essays, which makes your writing invisible as you go. If I *can* see, I write so slowly and pick over every word, but this program makes the process infinitely more efficient. Listening to: Lock Me Up by The Cab

Tuesday, June 20 2017

I finished my 100 days of productivity! I have about a week's worth of posts to catch up on, and now I'll have time to finally post again, but I'm happy I did this and I'm proud of the days where I made myself keep the challenge going, because the effort paid off. I've definitely lived up to the 'productivity' portion of the challenge, these last few days that I've been AWOL. Finals week has been a massive pile of project after project, but I had one last presentation this morning and now I'm done. The timing was purely coincidental, but it is kind of perfect to end the challenge on my last real, working day of the school year. I know I'm still somewhat of a new studyblr, and this blog was really meant to be more of a personal archive, but the silent support of everyone's notes has really cheered me on and made me feel more confident in my abilities. Thank you! 🌊 Listening to: Faded by ZHU 🌊

91-93/100 • frantically trying to pull together a video project both for English and US history, which essentially leaves me with no breaks whatsoever. I wish I was a morning person too, instead of always staying up so late.

But hey, one week and it’ll all be over. 😪

88-90/100 • I’m so swamped with projects, it’s unreal. I’d love to be posting more but I simply don’t have the time.

I don’t usually work so hard for so long on Friday nights (although I did have Iron Man on in the background). Métro, boulot, dodo.

86-87/100 • I thought I was in the clear...boy was I wrong. Who knew it was even possible to cram so many assignments into just 2 weeks? 🔥 The pressure is on. 🔥 Listening to: Faded by ZHU

85/100 • today was a mishmash of things - college research, online training classes, stock market essay, and prep for a documentary project. I’m kinda tired…

Listening to: Would U by Red Velvet

[lemniscate-study]

84/100 • 4 carefully-written pages later, and my head is really trying hard to wrap itself around special/general relativity. 😅 I took the rest of the evening to complete some long-overdue online courses; it's been a while since I sat down and just powered through so much work. Listening to: One More Weekend by Audien x MAX

[lemniscate-study]

82-83/100 • considering how bad I’ve been about procrastinating lately, I’m pleasantly surprised with how easily I got to work today. Jumped straight into calculus right after a power nap, and then reviewed some videos so I could add to my notes.

Listening to: On Your Own by Emalia

[lemniscate-study]

80-81/100 • wrote a thank-you note yesterday to a great guest speaker who came to talk to my economics class. :) I love my physics class right now - we're learning about special relativity and even though it completely screws over my head, it's so fascinating! Plus my teacher seems to be really passionate about the topic, so class discussions have been really interesting lately. Listening to: Bonbon by Era Istrefi

[lemniscate-study]

79/100 • Remembered to write a paper last-minute. I was tempted to pass on it since it's not a big grade, but it was actually fun to write, so. Listening to: Weightless by Marconi Union

[lemniscate-study]

77-78/100 • trig substitution and partial-fraction decomposition practice. In spite of the fact that some of the steps to these problems can get really long and complicated, I love the look of rows and rows of handwritten work. Listening to: Big Fish by Vince Staples

[lemniscate-study]

76/100 • I couldn't help but spend most of my afternoon outside in the sun, but I did take some time to edit a few poems for English class. I don't normally use pink, I was just feeling floral today. 🌸 Listening to: Feathers by Library Tapes

[lemniscate-study]

75/100 • another late start, aka another morning waking up well-rested. My desk gets the perfect amount of afternoon sun, it's always a wonder I don't fall asleep and take naps right there 😅 Listening to: Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling (feat. Lzzy Hale)

[lemniscate-study]

74/100 • had time this evening for some stock portfolio check-ins and an English essay outline. I’m really happy to see the days get longer and brighter! 🔆

Listening to: Beautiful Now by Zedd

72-73/100 • nothing like a 3-hr late start to simultaneously make your day and throw it all out of rhythm... I'm picking up my stock portfolio project from where I left it in February, happy to see that my "investments" are still steadily growing! Spent the evening helping bind booklets for a school event as well. Listening to: The Currents by Bastille
