i've abandoned my room as it has no ac and it's weird sitting at a different desk but at least im not hot.

i had an exam on the 22nd but i forgot to book it so i lost that opportunity. luckily my professor put another date in july so that's what im working towards to.

i've been to the beach in the evening, to a spa nearby, i've eaten good ice cream, i danced and sang with my friends ... when i put it this way, i am enjoying life, i have nothing to be sad about. i've been feeling a bit under the weather lately because of how my life is going but i must look at everything else going on! i hope im able to continue enjoying myself and having fun.

to dos:

■ lots and lots of exercises

■ finish theory notes

■ write in my journal

■ go shopping w/mom

t-4 to exam

incredibly unmotivated but still going forward. i have a big and difficult exam that has been destroying me for a whole month now even though i actually like the subject. i'm now at the stage of "making notes of every small thing i can think of based on past exams" and i'm scrambling to get done before saturday to have 2 full days of revision.

i also went to the beach again, made some spreads (not as many as i thought), studied with my bf and cousin some more, talked to friends and my sister who is coming back home tomorrow (!), went shopping and found some really nice deals. i wasn't feeling too well earlier in the week but my bf helped me through that.

# systems theory

□ Exercises: 1/5

□ Revision: 10/30 pages

□ Notes: discrete-time systems (sampling time, structural properties, the jury criterion, difference equations)

□ Sunday: read solutions of past exams

i've been to a nice mexican/south-american restaurant with my bf and i had plantain for the first time! also my exam is coming up and i'm in the trying-to-connect-the-points phase rn, wish me luck. i still feel sluggish but it's the hot weather (i always say that i get summer blues, not winter ones) tho i do feel the vitamins i'm taking are helping so i'll probably do another month after this pack finishes.

i started a new minecraft server with my bf and our mutual friend (we have been a trio since a decade, it's so fun whenever we reunite) and we're trying new mods together and it's been a fun way to relax in the evenings.

to-dos:

■ attend the last systems theory lesson on friday

■ notes on Laplace transforms

■ notes on algebra of block diagrams

■ notes on filters

■ notes on bode diagrams

■ notes on nyquist diagrams

hello :] i've been studying with my bf and my cousin on discord and it's been fantastic! i was very productive while simultaneously not over working myself to the point of not being able to even open a book the day after.

i still have a lot on my to-do list until exam day but i've been slowly tackling each task, one by one.

i also went to a sushi restaurant with my mother and it was packed full of people but still delicious.

to-dos:

■ wash my hair (personal care)

■ go out with sister

■ notes on chapter 23 (systems theory)

■ write yesterday's entry in my diary

writing and writing ☆

i'm going so slow in my studies, i feel like i don't have enough mental energy to open the book, read, try, fail and learn from it. I need to start slow without worrying about deadlines as it'll come later on when studying becomes an habit.

to-dos:

■ Watch the Hit Me Hard And Soft movie!!! in 3d!

■ Tidy up my room

□ Plan what to study (mathematical methods for engineering)

□ Notes on algebra and geometry exercises (systems theory)

staying afloat with iced lattes and 3d stickers.

i got the results back from the test i've taken and it didn't go too well but i still passed. now i'm studying two subjects that i can hopefully give both a fair shot in june (and maybe, with the +1 i got on my test, pass one of them 🍀).

to-dos:

□ Read 60 slides (Mathematical methods in engineering)

□ Notes on paragraphs 18 and 19 (Systems theory)

■ Attend online lesson (Systems theory)

don't forget to drink water and wear sunscreen!

23/04

still trying to catch up on notes and on energy levels (my mom thinks i may have low iron)

to-dos

□ chapter 13

□ notes on algebra and geometry exercises (my professor has not mentioned whether there will be exercises or not in the mid-term test and im paranoid now)

□ complete the last couple of january spreads in my diary (i really want to start sharing it!)

~~~~~♡♡♡~~~~~

thinking about starting a new notes and commonplace book as the one im using is sooo annoying (it's not a "normal" book, more of a flip the pages up kind of book, 🗒 <- like this emoji but without the rings)

i think i may start sharing this book as it's a lot less personal (i have notes on games i played/am playing and transcriptions of stuff i found interesting online)

19/04/2026

i have a lottt of pages to catch up to, both in my studies and in my diary. i'll put on a video or two and i'll get to it in the next few days.

to-dos:

□ print photos (25 march to today)

□ decorate pages

□ notes on chapter 11

□ notes on chapter 12

What year are you in in Comp Eng? What has your experience been? What is your favourite subject? Any advice for embedded systems and microcontrollers?

hello! (long answer ahead hehe)

this is my fourth and (hopefully) last year. in italy this course is a 3-year cycle but it's quite normal to take an extra year.

so far i've had a mixed experience to be completely honest. on one hand it's been a great experience, i've met people, my boyfriend is my study buddy, i've had fun with group projects and some exams have been really interesting. on the other hand, i've been constantly anxious and feelings of not being good enough came and went with the seasons. i'm not talking the medical kind of anxiety, just a low hum always in the back of my mind.

i've always liked maths (so calculus I and II) but i'm exploring circuits and they're really interesting (even if i'm not good at all at resolving them). one exam about programming that i've liked a lot is my advanced programming course (also the operating systems one tbh) because it was my first approach to synchronization (?), deadlocks and exchanging information between different parts of the software smoothly, even two programs written in different languages!

one piece of advice that i want to give you, if you're thinking about going to university is this: you have to have a passion for problem solving or develop one while studying. you have to have a method of learning that's somewhat efficient for you or develop one while studying. Computer Engineering isn't the most difficult thing in the world, yes if you're bad at math or physics you're gonna have some trouble, but overall everybody who wants to do it, absolutely can.

⋆. 𐙚 ˚ love love love my new diary ⋆. 𐙚 ˚

"hey so it actually only has to make sense to me for me to do it and i don't feel like explaining it to anyone else"

i am a bit behind on pages bc i feel devoided of all energy, i keep staring at it with little success. ive decided to try posting them (also not censuring myself, censuring the pages instead)

i'll make myself a tea, get comfortable and write my pages on my (kinda old but i love him so much) tablet and i'll copy them when i feel better

[restless-mode]

i'm back! (i need structure or i'll collapse in a random café on a wednesday morning)

todo:

[restless-mode]

8/100 days of productivity

in the last pic, it was my first time ever going out in a city on my own. idk how but i am always with someone else, i never really leave the house alone and when i do it's to meet up with someone.

it was freeing in a way i hadn't imagined it would be.

todos (personal edition)

- [ ] Go out with friends

- [ ] Fill some pages in my diary

- [ ] Print photos (also for my diary)

- [ ] Take it easy, breath, listen to uplifting music
