April | Typhoons in Summer

April has unusually been gloomy and cloudy and rainy. Such an atmosphere fit for napping in the afternoons and film-watching in the evenings is worrisome in the middle of a tough semester and, not to mention, in the middle of summer.

9.9.20 🌿

Some shots from yesterday afternoon. Classes started last week and I’m already kinda overwhelmed, but I’ll push through! Still can’t believe I’m a junior/third-year student tbh :’)

This semester I’m taking two econ courses, game theory and public finance (microecon of government), which I’m super excited about and are taught by amazing professors. Also taking two compsci courses, algorithms and an elective I haven’t decided on yet. I couldn’t get into this other core CS class because they can only take like 10 remote students fsr. Oh, and Italian III!

Non sono sicura del mio italiano ma forse scriverò qualche caption in italiano così potrò imparare dalla esperienza o i miei follower italiani potranno correggermi :p

Also been drinking 罗汉果 (luo han guo) and jamu (indonesian herbal drink) throughout the day and they’re so refreshing + supposedly have benefits for your immune system

How are y’all’s semesters going?

An Overview of Note-Taking Styles

Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!

As much as I enjoy studying, I can’t wait to go back to reading things that don’t necessarily have to do with my studying.

now that most of us are at home, i thought this could be useful to the ones who aren't that used to learning material on their own and aren’t sure where to start, or which order of steps to follow. happy studying! 💗

7.12.19 // these pictures are from earlier in this week when I was writing an essay on David Hume’s case against miracles. Seeing as I just made a post about how I write essays, here are the pictures of me frantically worrying about this one in particular (tap for better quality idk tumblr does this to me)

[AUG] i miss you, my dear sun

AUGUST - it may not seem like it in the photos above, but, my, my, august, you were a hazy reel of gloomy, dreary, rainy days - there was not a day that went by that i didnt wish for the sun (there were a couple of sunny days, but the clouds always won over the sun more often than not). most days were spent painting: my new set of gouache paint arrived just before i ripped the month of july off our calendar. it has been a joy to paint with it!  

FIGURE I. uni is around the corner and i can’t help but daydream about it! above is an organization system i have devised for college (based on numerous youtube videos and a couple of reddit posts, as well as my personal experience during my last two years of high school). after seeing four numbers had lined up in the sub-total bar, it has been subjected to changes while online shopping for school supplies - I had to make this organization and note-taking system as practical and cost-effective as possible.

FIGURE II. after spending my days cooped up in my bed switching between my phone applications as the clouds washed the sky in gray for days on end and the rain kept the ground moist, i finally mustered the will to try and spend my days more productively. with a couple of journal entries (i won’t show you, no haha) where i poured out my musings that were as melancholic as the weather, bit by bit, i regained this sort of rigor to try and live a healthy lifestyle (which encompasses both mental and physical health). i used my newfound motivation to get back on advance studying chemistry that i started in july when my days were nice and my head a lot less crowded with negative thoughts. 

FIGURE III. i felt ambitious and pre-planned the last week of august (it didn’t work out for me at all). in my bouts of productivity, i studied chemistry. at this point, only two weeks left before uni starts! it’s a shame that my first year of uni is online (but i wouldn’t have it any other way with the pandemic going on). oh well!

revising old biology notes ft. this gorgeous plant textbook and a greek bust of poseidon! my summer plans are coming together and i’m excited! it looks like i’ll be having a busy july and i’m really looking forward to it.

on a separate topic: i know that the covid-19 pandemic is scary for a lot of people. there is panic and racism and uncertainty, but despite it all, there has also been a lot of caring. please remember to be kind to yourselves and each other ♡

The Sunrise, enjoying two cups of coffee and going to spend the day joting down word & phrases I use often so that I can find the italian translation to make my italian vocabulary fit more to my vernacular.
