i really liked this equation sheet! i think it was probably the most organized equation sheet i’ve made (and the words are really small because we got to bring it with us to our final, though in the end I only used up half of what we were allowed, so i guess i could have written larger D:) have a wonderful week! (also for some reason the picture quality is really weird, but if you click on the picture it gets clear!)

july 23 • 23:16 • spanish 🇪🇸 Did another decorative title for my Spanish notes! (I’m just taking notes from Duolingo, I’m not taking the subject this year). Sorry this is like pretty much the same as my last post - I’ll post my notes once I figure out how to format them.. any advice? 😅

I just changed my bio from 'aspiring physics student' to 'physics student'

What is a story you have been dying to tell?

When I was 15 years old, I ran away from home because I was pissed off at my parents for a reason I cant remember. I didnt have much money, so I decided to hop onto the skytrain(public transport train in British Columbia) and ride it as far as it would go. I reached the end of the line in less then an hour, and decided I wanted to ride it all the way back again, while trying to formulate some kind of plan of how I wanted to live the rest of my life without my parents or anyone. At the last stop, or the first stop depending on your perspective of it, a girl came on and sat in the row right behind me. I didnt pay much attention to her at first, as I was busy writing my life plan on a napkin. It was a few minutes later that she got up and came sat next to me, curious as to what I was writing. I told her the story, and after a few laughs, we began talking about everything and anything. Her name was Amanda, 17 years old, and absolutely wonderful. She told me she was getting off at the last stop, which was also the first stop, depending on how you look at it. It was also the stop I had gotten on originally, and I told her we would ride to it together. The train ride took less then an hour, and what a wonderful hour indeed.

When the last stop did come, we both knew we probably wouldnt see each other ever again(this was before the days of cellphones, and I was a shy little kid afraid to make moves). As we got to the end of the sidewalk which split in two different directions, she went right and I went left. Before saying goodbye she turned to me and asked me a question that has become a wonderful part of my life; she asked me, “Tell me something you have done, or want to do, that you think I should do? It can be anything, as challenging as you want it to be, or as easy. As long as you give me the rest of my life to complete it, I promise I will do it..” I was confused as to why, but I thought about it, and told her, “Sing a song acapella in a room full of strangers.” She said perfect and asked me if I would like a challenge as well. I told her I did, and she told me, “read, from start to finish, “Ulysses” by James Joyce.” I had never heard of it at the time, but I agreed, and we said our goodbyes.

I have a awful memory, and cant remember most conversations I have with most people. But I remember all of that clearly. You know why? Because of the challenge she gave me. In the 12 years that have past since, I have tried to read that book in over 150 different sittings. Everytime I open my copy of the 780 page monster of a book, I always think of her, and I always think of that day. Ive never been sure if it was her intent or not, but she left her lasting memory on me with that challenge. I soon after learned what she did, was a completey wonderful and amazing thing for me. So I decided to keep it going. Ive met a lot of strangers in my life; some that have become friends, and some, due to living in different time zones and whatnot, didnt. I dont want to just have experiences and then let them go. I want to remember these meetings, and embrace the fact that they happened. So whenever I leave someone who has left an amazing impact of my life, I always make sure to add them to my Ulysses Bucket List. I ask them to give me a challenge, as difficult or as easy as they want it to be, and regardless of the fact that they have done it or not; simply something their heart has had wanted to do.

Some have been easy and fun; I met a man in India 9 years ago who told me to, for a week or a month, cook/buy twice as much food as I intend on eating, and give the other half to a stranger in need. I completed that mission 8 years ago, and thought about that man and the time we had all the way through. I met a girl on a cruise 6 years ago, who told me to jump into a body of water on a slightly cold day, without touching or feeling the temperature of the water first. I did that the very same year. I met a couple at an outdoor music festival a few years ago that told me to wear the most bizarre outfit imaginable and walk through a public place, completely oblivious to the fact that you arent looking normal. I did that task the very next day, at the same festival. Some have been difficult, to say the least: three guys I met in Amsterdam and smoked all night with, told me to go to a mall and give 10 strangers 10 presents. That one took a lot of courage, but I did it a year or so after I met them. It was nerve racking, but at the same time exhilerating leaving my comfort zone. A girl I met on a plane told me to sky dive; Im still in the process of getting that done. A couple I met in Cali on the beach told me to tell the 5 people I hated the most, that I love them and respect them. That one was very difficult because of my stubborness, but ive come close to completing that list many a times(still in the process, 2 more people to go).

And some things, have had an everlasting impact on my daily life. I met a girl at a music festival, who told me that whenever I get mad at someone, walk away, sing my happy song in my head for 5 minutes, go back to the person im mad at with a clam heart and mind, and work things out. Ive made this my way of life. I once met a man at a gym in a hotel I was staying at, that told me “whenever your body and brain tells your that you are exhausted and done…use your heart instead and push out 2 more reps.” Ive made this my motto when working out or working on any kind of extrenuating exercise in which my body demands me to quit. I also use it while working on anything, and while studying. One of the best pieces of advice ive ever received.

There are many others that each brought joy to my life. There are still many tasks I have yet to accomplish, and everytime I think of these tasks, I think of the people that gave them to me. It amazes me how well I remember all these people, while I cant remember so many aspects of even yesterday. These experiences, not only do I take from them a “mission” or a “challenge”, I also take from them a memory of them that never fails to appear inside of my mind. I opened my Ulysses book for probably the 300th time yesterday, and read a few pages, which prompted me to share this story with you today. Im in the final 30 pages of the book, also known as the most dreaded of the read(in the last 40 pages or so, James Joyce doesnt use a single punctuation mark; no periods, no commas, no nothing; a straight 50 page run-on sentence).

I never saw Amanda after that day, nor do I know if she ever did get a chance to sing a song to a room full of strangers. But what I do know, is that she gave me a gift that has never once stopped giving. So wherever you may be, thank you for giving me the Ulysses Bucket List. And I swear i’ll finish it one day. My life advice? Simple: Create your own Ulysses bucket list.

18.01.11 not the best of days but at least my physics class notes are looking nice! high hopes for a better day tomorrow :-D

[brbimstudying]

wow this post has been a long time coming. after many months, finally here is part 2! this is dedicated to saving paper, since us as students need to use so much paper, so here are some things we can take note of to try to help where we can!

use both sides of the paper!

and if u don’t, use as scrap paper

i like to keep a folder of scrap paper around

scrap paper = paper that still have at least half a page without anything on it

u can use this to do rough workings, jot down ideas, sketches, rough drafts, lists, brainstorming, etc.

shred used paper to use as packaging!

recycle!

esp newspapers, textbooks, etc. where it’s just a huge chunk of paper

have a paper recycling bin in ur room! that way, u only have to clear the bin when it’s full, which means u go down to the recycling bin once a month or every few months for me! barely takes time out of ur day

sell / donate!

if u have magazines, books, textbooks, workbooks, all lying around, don’t just burn them or throw them all away

u can make some quick $$ if u sell these to ur juniors or put it up online!

or u can donate them to the salvation army or the local drive near u or to the old age centre!

if ur printing for ur eyes only

print at least 2 pages on one! (set the print settings on 2 pages per sheet!)

reduce the font size, line spacing, and margin sizes to reduce pages printed

use the print range feature

do u rly need to print all pages? 

only select pages to u absolutely need

when printing powerpoint slides

print handouts instead of slides (6 slides per page!)

u can find this on the print settings page!

use thinner paper

when buying paper, keep a look out for the gms or g/m2 (grams per square meter)

thinner paper does not change the performance and can save u some $$

most printers work well with 70 and 80 gsm

just for reference, 70gsm uses and costs 15% more than 60gsm while 100gsm uses and costs 20% more than 80gsm

buy recycled paper and notebooks

a ton of paper made from recycled paper saves 4,100 kilowatt hours of energy, 7000 gallons of water, 60 pounds of air emissions, and 3 cubic yards of landfill space

recycled notebooks from staples, barnes and noble

who said u needed to compromise on design? ciak, ecojot, calepino

e-books

be it on ibooks or kindle

ur saving so much more money as opposed to buying the paperback too!

if u rly rly enjoy a book, u may allow urself to buy the paperback, but most times we only read one book once 

online newspaper / magazine subscriptions

these daily or monthly subscriptions can rly add up

subscribing online saves money AND space, and makes reading a lot easier and more convenient

donate to tree planting organisations and charities!

(all of these have been checked for at least 3 stars on charity navigator)

trees for the future (international), earth day canopy project (international), national forest foundation, forest trends

happy holidays everybody! hope this has been helpful, and i hope u will adopt some of these for 2018, remember we all share this earth, and we all have a v important part to play in taking care of our planet. 

here is a link to part 1, and a link to all my study tips, including my latest one on how i increased my productivity threefold.

24/100 days of productivity   +  WED 6.23.16 // 3:12 pm

theme of the day: study space (ohohoho). I LOVE OUTER SPACE even if planets aren’t rainbow irl and even if my constellations are a little bit wonky (also i’m almost halfway done with chemistry yaaas  ╹◡╹ )
