26/04/2016 | finally got all of my German notes done and printed them out! Now all I need to do is learn them, haha~ I stayed home today and decided to summarize some of my Latin grammar, but then my teacher texted me that our lesson tomorrow is cancelled, which kinda bummed me out, but oh well, what can you do.

[Self Care When You Don’t Have the Spoons for Showering

1. Keep face wipes and deodorant by your bed. They’re easy and can make a huge difference in how you feel

2. Take sink showers. Washing your hair and face in the sink quickly works especially well if you’re a survivor having anxiety about being naked (yes, that’s totally normal)

3. Invest in a dry shampoo. You can use it in bed or sitting down on days when you can’t get up, it’s super easy, and it gets rid of oily hair really quickly

4. Use scented body lotion to make yourself smell nice- it’s grounding and makes you feel soft and clean without much effort

5. Air fresheners and scented candles can make your room smell nice and make you feel more fresh and together

6. Wear your favorite cozy clothes

7. Spray your favorite perfume on your clothes if you can’t handle changing out of pajamas

8. Sometimes if you use easy makeup products tinted lip balms can help you trick yourself into thinking you feel better]

These “no rinse” products, including the shampoo cap and the no-rinse shampoo and body wash, are also helpful:

Shampoo cap

Other products

They have both rinses/shampoos/washes which you dilute in warm water (and then use a washcloth to clean yourself) as well as wipes and the shower cap linked above which can be warmed up in the microwave.

I have moderately sensitive skin, and the shower cap and body wash we used for my partner after his surgery did not irritate my skin. YMMV, of course.

Personal tactics for studying history:

1. Flashcards of timelines, with colour to illustrate changes in government/control/presidents etc. 

In my first photo, I was documenting the progress of Soviet control after World War two during the Cold War. Key: red - under communist control | blue - communist party in coalition | purple - biggest single party | brown - communist prime minister/president elected | yellow - non-communist government

2. Practice questions

As I go through my notes, I write a list of questions which are induced from each section of my notes, no matter how short the answer is. Some examples include: 

- What are the effects/consequences of_____? - What was post-war ____ like? - Successes and failures of ____? - What happened during years ______? - What did ____ say about ____?

And I would add numbers in brackets as the number of points I should include

Hope this helped anyone studying history! And good luck for exam season!!

this is something that my science teacher says to us! for example, if you can’t explain a concept with a simple definition, try using examples and evidence instead to explain it.
