Have to come to a realization that I am not secretly competing against anyone. I am my own person at different stages of growth. The only things I should be competing with is the person I was yesterday and the 24 hours I have before me.

18.11.2014 || This sums up a perfect day in class for me; coffee, digits, onenote and yeah coffee

[aeseyastudies]

170618 // I haven’t made a post like this in a while, but I’m revising for an exam right now and it’s the last thing I want to be doing so I’m procrastinating (don’t follow my lead kids).

How I use Digital Notes

I’ll make a more detailed post about how I study at some point, but for now:

I use microsoft onenote, but you can use whatever program you feel comfortable with.

Useful features of onenote include the organisation into notebooks, sections, and tabs, search function, equation support, tagging, and formatting options (inc. different heading styles).

You can find really great posts about onenote quite easily if you’re interested in how it works (I would 100% recommend it).

Throughout the year I type up my class notes, summarising information and organising it into a sensible order.

This took a lot of discipline and I fell off the bandwagon quite a bit. I initially intended to type up my notes from the day every evening, but I found it’s more realistic to just do it as often as possible and to aim to finish each topic’s notes before I move onto the next one.

When I come to revise for exams I will rewrite and summarise my notes on paper (writing out notes helps me remember them, but this may not work for you)

When I’m doing the first few past papers I’ll have my notes with me so I can look things up until I can do a paper without them.

I find this is more effective than using the mark scheme to help as the mark scheme basically gives you the answers.

Why Make Digital Notes?

Obviously digital notes don’t work for everyone, but I find they’re much more useful to have than notes on paper, at least before you start revising.

The main benefits of digital notes are:

typing is faster than writing

search functions (depending on the program) to look up information quickly

neater and faster formatting

you can back them up somewhere else so you don’t have to worry about losing or damaging them

you can bring all your notes with you without it weighing a tonne (assuming your laptop/tablet doesn’t weigh a tonne)

copy and paste! Ofc use this as infrequently as possible, but it’s useful for quotes etc.

pictures without the effort of drawing or printing out and sticking in

cheaper as you don’t have to buy pens and paper as often

an excuse to bring your computer into school and then go online shopping and play games during really boring classes no I haven’t done this what are you talking about so you have access to google etc. to look things up whenever

Prioritising

The only reason I’ve managed to keep up with my notes throughout the year is because I don’t take any for maths and I’ve kind of fallen off the bandwagon for French (whoops). It’s a bit unrealistic to expect to keep up with all the notes for all your subjects (particularly if you’re doing gcses), so prioritise.

Subjects like maths tend to assess a skill rather than knowledge, so it’s probably more useful to do practice questions rather than make notes.

If you’re dropping a subject in a year and won’t touch it again make sure it’s actually worth making notes for the whole year.

In Class or After Class?

Whether you write notes on the computer during class or afterwards depends on the class.

I’ve got one particular teacher who flits back and forth between topics and often mentions things without going into detail because she assumes we’re too stupid to understand (not my favourite teacher ngl). So I use my laptop in her lessons so I can go back to topics we’ve already done and so I can google things to fact check (she frequently dumbs stuff down to inaccurate levels) and expand on points that she makes.

If you’ve got a teacher that tends to move super fast it might be worth having a computer with you as typing is generally much faster than writing.

If you can’t touch type learning is a really good idea, even just to improve the speed of your typing (I can’t actually touch type but I took a course until I learnt to use all my fingers when typing and now I type much faster). There’s lots of free online courses available.

Alternatively, you can just make all your class notes on paper and type up the important information when you get home.

This means you don’t have to worry about your class notes being neat enough to revise from; after you type them up you can file them or even throw them away to save space.

It also works as a review which is really good for putting the information into your long-term memory.

However it is also pretty time consuming so you’ve got to be super disciplined to keep on top of it.

In my school at a levels I’ve found it’s not too unusual to have a laptop out but it’s a bit odd to have one at gcses (idk about other schools). Obviously you shouldn’t care about what other people think, but if having your laptop/tablet with you will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable then leave it at home.

Also laptops and tablets are expensive and it’s understandable if you’d rather keep them safe at home.

That said, people do get used to it. Even if you’re the only one with a laptop/tablet, the novelty wears off quickly.

Some teachers don’t actually like students using laptops and tablets during class, so do check before you bring it in.

I hope this helped! Of course if you have any questions about this (or anything else) my ask is always open please ask me something

Here’s where I post this and find 56 typos :/

Hey! There’s lots of productivity apps out there so I decided to make a series featuring apps I’ve tried and tested for the past week. They will be tested on an iPhone but I will link to Android versions if I can. Feel free to message me your app suggestions!

What is it: a timer which motivates you to stay off your phone by keeping a tree alive. Free or Paid: FREE Effectiveness: 4/5.  Features:

Timer: 5 minute blocks ; a “tree” is awarded every 25 minutes

Ranking System 

A “Farm” featuring all your success and failures

You can still play music even though by going on the phone you “kill” the plant

Overall Rating: 3/5 this is a really good app, it works well although at first it can be a little confusing to use. It also. It motivates you to keep off your phone although after awhile the effect may ware off. 

Download: | Apple |

[elkstudies]

What is it: it times your study while your phone’s screen is facing a surface, so preventing your from picking up your phone Free or Paid: FREE Effectiveness: 4/5. Features:

Overall Rating: 4/5                            I love this app so much. It’s probably one of the best timers/focus apps that I’ve used so far. I found it really effective, especially at keeping me off of my phone when studying. Also it was interesting to find out how long I could study for and see what days I studied longer.

firstly, feel free to request more french masterposts.  flirting in french; god, how i would love to be smooth in any language. seriously, if i could neal caffrey my way through france, that would be great. so, this is a masterpost on how to flirt in french. - i’d like to think this is pretty important - as this is part of socializing in any language. flirtation is a very different thing than “picking up.” picking up is a kind of hunting game with a very pointed and invariable goal: to be making out as soon as possible! think barney from how i met your mother challenge accepted. flirtation, at least in france, is a totally different thing. it’s a different culture, a different lifestyle. it’s a way of being in everyday life, and unlike picking up, it has no defined goal. sometimes the french flirt because it’s just delightful to do so. think salt to pepper relationship. allowing each one to check, and at different levels, if he or she still has some charm operating. 

i would say that simple is always best: merely walk up to your chosen girl or guy and say je vous trouve absolument charmante (I find you absolutely charming / beautiful. be classy and to the point. with that and mind, read on! let’s learn some classic phrases to become a regular femme fatale, shall we?

so; why flirt in french?

well, french is a sexy language. not going to lie. 

it’s the planet’s most-hyped language of love.

reaching that level of fluency feels amazing.

it gives you that confidence. social confidence.

becoming a smooth talker feels nice. i want to be one, anyway. 

tired of searching for love in english? 

french learning and french flirting 

let’s face it: in france, (or in any country for that matter), nobody speaks like a textbook, the president, or a language learning site (i’m looking at you, duolingo). it’s great for memorizing the fundamentals, but lacks that extra step that stands between you and complete fluency. 

flirting is part of socializing - and linguistically (i don’t know, it helped with me) it improves retention. it’s also just interesting to learn! 

flirting is just well.. fun. even if it doesn’t go anywhere.

a bit of verbal charm isn’t always necessary : but in my opinion, it helps you sound more natural / at ease / friendly. 

i somewhat lack verbal charm (i’m very, very awkward in social situations) so i probably need this masterpost as much as anyone else (: 

the classics: make love last.  this is based upon what i’ve heard at school / restaurants / bars.  okay fine: it’s based on the movies i’ve watched too. 

j’ai envie de t’embrasser / embrasse-moi - kiss me.. annouce it - make your intentions known! ‘i’d like to kiss you’ - okay, you could just kiss someone instead of letting them know. but i don’t know.. there’s something romantic about it? best with a longing, meaningful stare. 

je t’aime: i’m pretty sure we all know this one. best with someone you care deeply for, i wouldn’t say this on a first date - but if you’re the direct type : this can help you get from a to z pretty quickly. 

the simple compliments: short and sweet using these with a flirty look / tone of voice (as i’ve seen amongst my friends) can do wonders. play with your expression while practicing these: it makes a difference, trust me. you can begin with (oh putain) to make it sound authentic. it’s not (really) a ‘swear word’ and people use it often. best used in an informal setting. example: putain, t’es toujours canon toi ou quoi? you can also add trop ( = too). example: trop belle, trop mignon(ne). you can also add tellement ( = so) example: t’es tellement belle! you can also add si ( = so) example: t’es si mignonne. you can also use grave ( = totally) example: t’es grave belle. 

t’es mignon(ne).

t’es belle (/beau), toi. 

t’es canon. ( = you’re smoking hot). 

t’es con(ne). ( = you’re an idiot) - i’ve seen this used a lot flirtatiously.

t’es drôle. ( = you’re funny)

t’es magnifique. 

t’es charmant(e). 

t'es coquin / coquine! ( = you’re such a tease.)

the ‘social and the flirty’  inspired by my class facebook chat and group. some of them are direct quotes (: these can be used as compliments / or flirtatiously. depends on your relationship with the person you’re giving them to. 

cette beauté chaton, tu m’ éblouie. ( = you dazzle me with your beauty.)

une beauté divine. ( = a divine beauty or: you’re so divine.)

ouloulouloulouloulou. ( = you really have to hear this one.)

tu brilles de mille feux.

j'te pécho. ( = like the equivalent of ‘to pick up someone’ in english). 

bg, or beau / belle gosse ( = hot guy, hot girl). 

une petite merveille. ( = a wonder, someone to be marveled at). 

une bombe. ( = bombshell, someone pretty - same thing as ‘belle gosse’.)

le petit côté mystérieux femme fatale je kiffe. - je kiffe means i like. 

la beauté à l état pur ( = beauty at its purest form). 

dingue! ( = crazy, as in crazy beautiful). 

j'ai pas les mots.( = i have no words). 

wahhh, la classe! ( = classy!)

c’est fou, tant de beauté ( = you’re so beautiful, it’s crazy.)

flirting at a bar or restaurant? 

t’as d’beaux yeux, tu sais? the phrase ‘you’ve got beautiful eyes’ pretty much works in any language (though, i think it sounds extra gorgeous in french). the phrase actually comes from a french film called le quai des brumes. fair warning: this is an extreme cliché, : it’s basically the english equivalent of do you come here often? it can be said ironically, if you’re not the cliché type. best with a wink and a devilish smile (; 

je peux t’offrir / vous (formal) une verre ? : can i buy you a drink?

vous êtes célibataire ? mais comment est-ce possible ? - you’re single? but how’s that possible? 

vous venez souvent ici ? - do you come here often? ha, classic.  a phrase that transcends cultural barriers: “ the sentence could be followed up by complaints — about the bartender, about the clients or about how the bar isn’t as good as it used to be. a french tradition is râler, a sort of complaining. finding things to complain about is a way that many french people choose to bond with new acquaintances. this is not true of anyone.

t’as une miette (you’ve got a crumb) as you pretend to stroke something off of someone’s face, first with your fingers, then with your lips.

tu m’excites ! ( = you turn me on.)

“j’ai une première édition de ‘à la recherche du temps perdu.’ tu veux le voir ?” -  i have the first edition of “in search of lost time. (written by proust). do you want to see it?” in france (for me, at least) cultural knowledge is sexy. in America, we often ask if you’d like a nightcap. choose something cultural and intellectual in france, and you’re far more likely to get a oui.

je veux te revoir. ( = i want to see you again.) 

alors, ça roule? ( = how you doin’ - joey, friends.)

excuse-moi. est-ce que t’embrasses les inconnus ? non ? donc, je me présente. excuse me, do you kiss strangers? No? then let me introduce myself.

excuse-moi, j'ai perdu mon numero de téléphone. est-ce que je peux t'emprunter le tien?“ excuse me, i seem to have lost my phone number. could I borrow yours? 

let me know if you’d like to know more! you can never be too charming (:
