What a wishful november—wishful because nct wish released a new album! I insert here some photos from a quick market run which happened on the first day of december.

Thank you, world! for letting me witness the beauty of the outside:) I forgot to dwell on my academics somewhat! I appreciate being alive. I want to see and experience either new or existing memories on december. I hope we all have a fruitful December and may we take care of ourselves, patting ourselves for showing up throughout the year!

The orientation week is officially done, and I am now bombarded with a lot of academic work. I am anxious when it comes to quizzes since they make up 50% of our grade. It's challenging for me to reach 75%, the passing grade needed to pass the course. Please guide me, Lord, as I try my best and utilize my capabilities. I am in my junior year now, and I guess the Lord has plans for me since I've stayed for almost 3 years in a state university. I believe this blog will show how optimistic I was, or maybe it's because I don't feel sad right now. I'm grateful that I finally had the urge to type my thoughts, though I missed traditional journaling.

Welcome to a fruitful episode of myself!🍎🍉🍐🍇

September filled me with good food, going outside, discovering faves, and making myself see the beauty of the outdoors. I am very grateful for how I took this picture as evidence that I've tried to go outside because I am really a homebody. Upon experiencing this, I left my academic matters at home, at my study desk, so I am surely hoping that I could regain the urge to go back to being hardworking in my academics. Hence, these past days I have been making small progress on my objectives each day. I should catch up as much as I can since I believe we'll be having one topic per week before midterms.

I'm going to miss my sophomore year so much! Why? I survived the hybrid setup! I surpassed a lot of major subjects. I reached a point where I believe God will do the rest. I will always be grateful for sophomore year! It was unbelievable for me to commute back and forth, allotting 6 hours to commuting. :( Also, thank you to my parents who have been able to provide what I need. Thank you to my university for assigning amazing professors to us, and to my section for being able to enjoy this season! It has been a rollercoaster, and I learned a lot of things! Nads, signing off on level 2, congratulations to you! 🌻💫

We had our resectioning, and I was placed in a section where I don't have any close friends and see a lot of unfamiliar faces.

I've heard that students may request to change sections.

If you were me, would you prefer to stay in the section where you could meet new people and learn about them, or would you request to change to a section where you’d be with your close friends?

Hello, everyone! How are you all?

Actually, I do not know how I feel today. I feel floaty? Or am I just going with the flow?

The results have been released, and I am not qualified for a board course. I didn't cry or get mad at myself for not being qualified, but I feel empty about proceeding into my junior year. So what does this mean? It's good that I am not feeling burnout since we are still in the orientation week. Below is the picture that I've taken while decluttering my papers. I presume I still have a lot of things to declutter, either physically or digitally. I did not do any journaling these past weeks. I hope that I can get back on track!Therefore, I conclude that I am not on track after the qualifying and summer final exams. 😭

I believe I will get back on track if I read and watch a romcom book? Or eat my favorite food, such as ice cream?🤣

Okay, I will get by! Let's believe in ourselves that we will get back on track and get by in our lives. 💗

Lastly, doing some decluttering is a small win for me because I put the papers I want to keep for a while in one envelope.😆

I still have 4 hours before my alarm rings, but I'm feeling sentimental right now, knowing that this could possibly be my last week of sophomore year. I believe I still have 2 more years to take advantage of student discounts, which means I'm getting closer to the adulting phase. 😭 As of now, I really want to continue my studies as long as I have the opportunity. If something happens, I'll rethink my plans. Being a college student is a gift I want to cherish the most. I'm so grateful that I've made it this far. Thank you so much, world! ❤️

Update: Face-to-face classes are now suspended. Stay safe, everyone!

Summer Term Recap || 🌤

The end of the summer term is now approaching, and I can't believe how quickly August slipped away. From feeling frustrated with academics to trying my best to make things manageable. I'm also proud to have completed group presentations, and I feel grateful for my groupmates. AIso, I spent a lot of time at home this term, which gave me the opportunity to cook and try out good recipes.

One hack I've been experimenting with is using a whiteboard and marker for my studies. I’ve found that this helps me reduce paper usage. I enjoy writing while reading, as it helps me stay focused. I also use the blurting method, which has proven helpful so far and will likely continue to be useful in future semesters. Lastly, I've been using the whiteboard as an alternative to digital paper, since my tablet does not have that potential to be a note-taking device.

Here's my post-exam moments. I was reflecting on myself during the 3-hour commute—just kidding! But I am frustrated with how long I spent in the jeepneys. I understand, though, because our country will encounter a long weekend. I hope that in my next session of commuting, I won't get stuck in traffic for too long:(.

I decided to treat myself to a short session of window shopping, taking a stroll through some cute shops. This helps me recharge my social battery, and I really love seeing wonderful things. It's surprising how the books in Fully Booked are now covered in plastic! Also, the greeting cards in Typo are too cute!

I did see Rica's bacsilog and decided to try it. The last time I ordered this food was a long time ago, and it was priced at P99.

One type of transportation I love in this country is the P2P, a point-to-point bus. No matter what happens inside the campus, I believe I deserve to sleep and rest inside this bus. It's not cheap, but it’s one of the best options, and I’m so grateful that it has a route from the city back to the province😭😭😭.

Aug 20th and 22nd of the year 2024 were not the craziest, but they were somewhat intense for some of us, as these exams will contribute to our ranks and determine who is eligible to grab that board course or not. I will always be grateful for how I participated in this. I hope colleagues from different blocks appreciate themselves for how they surpassed this type of exam. It's funny how the subtopics from our major subjects usually have only 2-3 items in a test😭. That's why, you should just skim, master, and recall, without spending too many hours or days on one subtopic haha, yet I familiarized myself with them like it was my first time seeing them😂.

I also prepared and packed my food, which helped reduce my expenses—on food, not transportation.☹️ Here's to more prepared meals in the future, and I’m still interested in suffering through accounting courses, even though I’m still an average student.🥲🙏

If there's one thing that makes me proud of who I am, it's that I tried to take notes seriously in my previous semesters. It reminds me of how I pushed myself to take notes because I believed it would benefit me, such as making it easier to absorb lessons. This effort is helping me now, as I rely on those notes instead of going through a book. Thank you so much, self, for doing that! So if you have handwritten notes, try to secure them no matter what because you'll need them, especially in courses with many prerequisites.🖊

Will someone find me here on my blog? I hope not. I’ve been a Tumblr user for a long time, but my previous account was dedicated to journaling and archiving. This is my new account where I can freely share my thoughts. I hope people who knew me won’t figure out it’s me.🤣

Anyway, here’s the situation of my desk as I captured it at 1:30 AM on August 17, 2024. I’m having a hard time falling asleep early, but I know it’s my fault for allowing it to happen 🤣.

Now, I’m reviewing for the upcoming exams, so wish me luck! My goal is not to miss any of the two exam days. I’ll do my best to cover as much as I can. I won’t get upset or disappointed if I don’t manage to review everything, but I’m definitely grateful for the progress I’m making day by day. So, I hope you also appreciate yourself as much as I do. Thank you, and have a warm day ahead. ❤️
