30/05

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)

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)

9/100 days of productivity

weekend went good, i wasn't feeling well but i still went out and i had a good time! good food + good company sometimes is all i need

todo:

- [ ] Finish mindmaps

- [ ] Journal (trying to catch up so at least 3 pages)

- [ ] Watch movie with bf (this reminds me i have to print all the tickets in a nice format since my theater uses normal receipts and so we buy them online)

[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

[restless-mode]

7/100 days of productivity

my life has become a repetitive cycle of studying and drinking lattes, not sure if i dislike it

todo:

- [ ] Review: the 40 something pages that ive studied months ago of electronics I (getting familiar again with circuits, wish me luck)

- [ ] Study: Complete chapter 2 and study chapter 3 of fundamentals of measures (slow progress is still progress, aint that what ive been telling myself my whole life)

- [ ] Plan: weekly goals for electronics I (cannot afford to accidentally get too close to exam day without a plan)

6/100 days of productivity

- [x] Paper notes: Finishing maths notes (40 pages). (finally!!! so happy to be done with theorems and start solving problems)

- [x] Paper notes: Finding a good way to summarize fundamentals of measures. (theres probably a reason if i havent started yet, gonna experiment since i still have time)

- [x] Research: Are my notes on measures all there is to study? What kind of exercises do i need to practice? (again, kind of in the dark on this subject)

- [/] Game: Finish minecraft's farm. (we were rudely interrupted by a raid)
