- 4 days before class starts !!

have no idea what went on today but by 8pm, I fell asleep and felt really tired although in comparison to usual days, I did less today ?

anywho, my notebook binders came yesterday and I have already written a lot in my journal and as I was afraid of messing up, I did minimal designs such as the butterfly I made on the page of my schedule with petals from my collection of pressed orchid flowers (that one's my favorite, pressed and fresh haha)

it's been awhile since I studied late at night, but as I wasn't able to during the early morning and the rest of the day, I still pushed with the energy I got from dinner and sweets I've eaten after, haha.

well, it's time to get back to studying, I hope you all have a restful night! 🌠

tonight's music & motivation videos no. 1 no.2 (no.2 is also for tomorrow's early morning's motivation !! haha)

— cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology

been sort of consistent with having a study time everyday for two weeks now... most number of days I haven't studied was 3 since some stuff don't work out as planned here at home, haha.

anyways. yesterday, after doing laundry i studied fundamentals of respiratory therapy, for both the lecture and lab stuff and i was able to finish the whole prelims for the lab. and today's supposed to be biochemistry day but i still can't find the file for the next topic so i just went with cardiopulmonary for today.

studied from 3 something until 7pm and just got up to the histology of the tracheobronchial tree because it took me an hour and a half to highlight stuff then after highlighting the whole part of the tracheobronchial tree and... yeah, took some breaks in between but not as long as usual and i forgot where i put the paper with the things i wanted to tackle for the day, haha.

thinking whether or not to continue studying.... (it's almost 10pm and idk)

to those just starting their day or mid-day, i hope you have a productive day! if not, have a good night and don't over exert yourself!! 💫

— cardiorespiratory anatomy and physiology + studying

was supposed to study biochemistry today but i can't find the pdf of the ppt for the second lesson (i havent gotten my book yet and yeah, will look for a pdf as well) and i wasn't able to study yesterday because i was really tired from walking luna (her first time out) and walked again with my brother and bought some vegetables.

anywho, how do you study?

personally i like studying with physical learning materials rather than book pdfs because i like highlighting and annotating books and not a fan of laptops/reading on laptops and ipads, that's why last academic year i printed each lesson on our syllabus for anatomy and physiology and also printed out flash cards. but now since im on a gap year, kind of a waste to print out the files because most probably ill be printing them next year and hopefully have a book for each major subject 🤞.

but yeah, for now ive been comparing side by side notes, powerpoints and books and highlighting the similar keynotes on the book for a whole part or lesson before writing down my notes. and once i get my notebook binder, ill be rewriting my notes of this moment there (yes, i like rewriting hahaha) so that for my classes next year, it's only one binder ill be bringing with me filled with notes from this gap year and another binder + yellow pad for possible new notes from lectures.

this has been a long post, im sorry hahaha but i hope you all have a productive day and a good one !!

++ how pretty is the photo of my clock against the window before sunset ???? Hahaha

— biochemistry

....I started studying at 2:30pm then all of a sudden it's 6pm ??

I tried measuring my time with studying with the study with me videos by suzinne (on youtube) and I think I've watched 3 of those before stopping to go to the bathroom then grab some snacks from the kitchen, hahaha.

I kind of think it was a bad idea getting some raisins because I got distracted and ended up with alkyl halides, 2/3 into the presentation at 8:30pm and I'm not sure if I would continue to study after dinner but I'm hoping to finish this lesson tonight so I could study medical terminologies tomorrow without thinking of how I wasn't able to finish studying biochemistry again.

Have a good evening/afternoon/morning :)

Also, here's some photos of my dog, Luna !! she's still small there, maybe 3-5 months ?? Anw she's 8 months now, heh.

I thought I might use this opportunity to help everyone out with some study tips and notes!! :) Remember, exams are in only seven months, and that time can fly by if you’re not paying close attention. Since we do have comprehensive exams at the end of the year, it’s important to actually remember what you’re learning. I suggest going back and reviewing your notes after each unit. (If you want, message me for some notes. Except for you, Ron, because you need something to motivate you to pay attention in class.) I’ve put in a picture of my notes, so feel free to use the note-taking format! It’s been accredited by several Muggle universities. :)

Additionally, I have some suggestions for light reading to keep the mind sharp! Check for them in the Hogwarts library, or Flourish and Blotts.

Hogwarts, A History by Bathilda Bagshot

The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk

(I am aware that first years study the Grade 1 book, but it’s never too early to get ahead!)

Intermediate Transfiguration

Curses and Counter Curses by Professor Vindictus Viridian
