I think I am starting to enjoy revising/studying (would enjoy it much more if my maths exam wasn’t so close but you win some you lose some). I think have a routine that works for me for now.

Ramadan is less than 20 days away and I need to come up with some sort of timetable to ensure I get enough sleep, and can still revise. I wish I was the type of person wi could fall asleep where ever quickly. If I was I wouldn’t Bebe bother changing my routine much. I would just take naps everywhere.

15th March: How do you deal with academic/work stress? Do you have a coping system/mechanism?

I feel like I’m in a constant state of panic so at this point I don’t get affected much.

However every once in a while I do stress more than usual so much so that my appetite is usually affected. In those scenarios I make sure to write down everything I need to do and spread it out over a period of time.

I have learnt that when I have a lot of something to do, that me trying to do it all in one day doesn’t work for me. I get bored and ended up working img slowly. Or I get stressed by how much I have left to do, and end up freezing.

13th March: What's your favourite seasoning on food? Are you picky about seasonings?

Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chilli and sugar/honey. I make a lot of stir fried noodles and rice and this is my go to sauce mix.

That or siracha and honey. Such a sexy combo.

Not picky at all

14th March: What's an act of a kind stranger that's been with you?

Ehhhhh. Suddenly remember nothing.

Update: Once I missed my train for school. So I was having a bad morning to put it nicely. But on my walk to school from the station a little kid said something to me. And they just made me feel so much happier.

Context: the train driver saw me, shook his head and drove off. I was a couple feet away from the door and he shut it. Could have kept it open but he didn’t

Went to the library today. I got there before it opened. Was there for 6 hours. I found some places in London where I can study on Sundays (and Saturdays for line longer hours). Can’t wait to explore from next week.

Does anyone know the proper etiquette for studying in cafés?

12th March: Did you have an imaginary friend in your childhood? what were they like?

Didn’t have any imaginary friends. But for a while I was so caught up on the fact that I could have been a robot and that all my memories were fake and I had no way to prove otherwise

Don’t watch enough movies to say I have a fave genre

7th March: Do you read fanfics? What's your favourite trope? Which fandom do you read most for?

8th March: If someone saw you across the street what do you think their passing thoughts be?

“What did she trip on?”

“Why is her bag so big? what is she a year 7?”

9th March: Do you know how to cook? What's your favourite thing to make? On that note, what's your favourite thing to eat?

Yes but I do t enjoy it very much. I meal prep mine and my younger sister’s lunches on Sundays for the school week.

Favourite thing to eat: Party jollof rice

10th March: Do you believe in the supernatural? Have you had any spooky experiences?

Yes and no.

It complicated like a lot of Nigerians around me I say ‘juju is real’ whether or not I believe I dunno but you will not catch me in a real haunted house. So…. who knows?
