I’m getting a bit tired of taking notes of the relevant chapters for my exam on International Business Law in October. As soon as I notice that I’m starting to get unmotivated, I take a break and work on something else, e.g. reviewing a case, learning some Japanese vocab, just working on one of my many other projects (that have nothing to do with studying) or just reading a book.

Wow it’s been a hot minute since I posted but since then I’ve finished reading this book for the third time and I’m officially deceased!!! I think gatsby is one of those books where you can read it multiple times and notice something different each time which is great because it’s assigned for school so often lol

So far being the co-editor of the university journal has just meant anonymising papers and organising the contributors, board of editors and peer reviewers. Now I am reading the contributors’ penultimate drafts myself and really enjoying being more involved in the process; thinking a lot about what we are going to write in the co-editors’ introduction. I really enjoy the mix of leading and involvement that comes with being an editor and it’s something I would love to do more of in the future.

when you’re stressed: 

this is temporary, this will pass.

i will not let stress overcome me.

i am living for the present, where i am calm and focused.

my stress will not be my downfall. 

when you’re about to hand up an assignment: 

i have no doubts in my ability to succeed. 

this represents my sound ability to learn, develop and succeed. 

i am intelligent and capable of successfully completing this assignment. 

when you need a little motivation:

i will accomplish all of my goals. 

i will stay attentive to all my work today. 

i am worthy of success.

i have an abundance of knowledge that must be used to my advantage. 

when you’re preparing for a test:

i am competent.

i am working to the absolute best of my ability.

i am a successful student.
