October 22, 2022 - Saturday | Fall Challenges 12/30 and 8/30
I painted some cookies on friday and posted it on here and my beloved friend @nocreat made my day today by actually making similar cookies irl and it literally filled me with joy on a nondescript n unexciting saturday morning I am so grateful š the plan for today is getting thru some grading before i drown in ungraded papers, a zoom meeting at 4, and maybe force myself to go on a walk?
šstudy methods: there's a lot I could say on this topic but i think one thing that helped me a lot is doing 30 minutes of uninterrupted work and then taking a 5-7 minute break, and then repeating it. Ofc you can change the time limits around but having a small break often gives you something to work toward when you're focusing for 30 minutes + being strict on yourself. Also instead of feeling like you need to study the whole day, you are thinking more like 'okay I just need to finish this 30 minutes for now' which doesn't seem like too long. Much better than sitting indefinitely in the library for 3 hours and realizing I didn't accomplish much š¬
š something about your area of study that people may not know: I was teaching literal vs. figurative language to my 4th graders last year and they couldn't remember which was which and then one of them was like 'I know! figurative language means you have to "figure out" what they're actually talking about, right?' and I was so so impressed lol I hadn't thought of it that way in my 25+ years of life and im someone who dissects words for FUN (courtesy of having to know all kinds of medical terminology). And she came up with it! On her own! Her brain *chefs kiss*
