future mathematician and lawyer :3

bach science and law, majoring in mathematics! I have way too much ambition and way too much caffeine :3

Today was a lovely day.

I ticked every item off my to-do list:

Probability lecture (1h)

Property law readings (2h15m)

Multivariable calculus lecture (2h)

Property law tutorial (1h)

I was blessed to go on a cruisy 5km with an amazing woman this morning. She's such an amazing role model to me, and I'm sure she doesn't even realise it. It really started my day on the right foot.

I'm very grateful to be in the world today.

After a tough weekend and no capacity to study, I did well today.

Today, I got through:

Probability lecture (1h)

Multivariable calculus lecture (1h)

Property law lecture (1h40m)

1/3 of the assigned property law readings (1h15m)

Sometimes I feel I should do more, but I'm learning to give myself grace. I'm grateful that today I could do my best.

Working through Tutorial 9 for multivariable calculus and reviewing Tutorial 1 for probability.

Not much time for study today, but still a productive morning 🌄

9am vs 5pm

Eventually, I'll create a cute study space. Maybe I'll work on that after exams.

Today, I showed up for myself. Tomorrow, I will do the same.

I have definitely dropped the ball in all my units. I received a mid-term result this week which has left me very moody and depressed. I have finals in a few weeks, and I'm not feeling very confident. I am usually a D/HD student, so I think my ego will be taking a hit.

I'm feeling positive. I did a guided run called "breaking through barriers" (hard recommend). I actually did it a few days ago, but I needed to let it sit with me for a bit. I think I needed the reminder that failure is okay, and that barriers mean that you are moving forward. I keep expecting someone to sit me down and say "hey, maybe you just aren't cut out for this". It's a silly thought. I wouldn't listen regardless. I just have to keep getting on the starting lines in front of me.

I've continued to show up each day and week and month and year despite the barriers I've faced. It is an incredible privilege that the barriers I'm facing now are in the form of a law exam or maths assignment. I am so blessed to be able to sulk over a 72% in a Property Law exam. I am so blessed to have so many incredible women around me who have supported me on my journey here. I never thought I would, or even could, see the day.

This day was a hard day. I woke up and went for a run. I'm really proud of myself that I can wake up and run a 5km now. I remember struggling through barely a kilometre and being completely out of breath, and now I can wake up and confidently say "I can do it".

I've been struggling with my probability unit. I am very confident in my mathematics abilities, but this unit requires coding. I feel like I'm punching my way through a brick wall with every question I attempt, and the only thing I get out of it is a broken hand. Everything feels so daunting, and I feel like I'm getting nowhere.

I'm trying to remember that running felt like that for a bit. After my TBI, I wanted to get into running, and every run felt like it was going to kill me. Now, I know I can do it, even if I'm slow, even if I struggle, I know I can do it. I haven't had that breakthrough in coding.

All I can do is keep moving forward.

Overdue lecturers, yummy breakfast

And the beautiful morning sky 💕

Some porridge while working on an assignment 💕✨

I finished my mid-term last week, and I have one more week before classes resume

I'm gently catching up on a few thing because I've been unwell

A light day of study and then volleyball training this arvo 🏐 🏐

I took some photos throughout the day. I have a property law exam in the morning, so I had a bit to review, but nothing too heavy.

I am very underprepared for this exam, but that is okay. Life has been very demanding lately, so it is important to breathe. As I continue to move through life, particularly with my studies, I cannot forget that my health and wellbeing are paramount. I love what I do, so it is okay to do it badly. Sometimes I need to do it badly just to make sure I can keep doing it.

I'm making some plans for the coming weeks. After tomorrow, I have a lot to do. But I will take things at the pace I need to go.

Progress > perfection

Yayyyy here I am!!! I have started this studyblr and I hope it will give me even more joy about my studies. I am starting the second year of an undergraduate mathematics and law degree and I’m looking forward to all the joys (and struggles) of continued learning.

I thought that these photos would be a nice start, one is from my exam prep, and one is me checking I look cute before a Zoom meeting :3
