@amy-study I tried to edit my answer to your ask but then I deleted it by accident?? Incredible. Anyway, here is what I wanted to write:

thanks for the ask! :)

gel pen: when are you most comfortable?

sat in bed before I go to sleep! usually I use the time before bed to do something relaxing like watch something or read some book, and it’s just a nice time of day because I’m just having a rest.

notebook: what’s your favourite quote?

I don’t have one favourite quote, so I just found a cool one about maths.

But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius.

How do you stay motivated throughout the semester, school year, etc.?

Whenever I get the secret to this I will be glad to share it with you! But really, in all honesty I think it all comes down to accepting that I am human and at times the motivation to continue my work will be difficult (if not almost impossible) to find. When this happens, I like to remind myself of what my goal is and why I am doing this in the first place. I also like to reflect on previous experiences of hardship when I did my best and succeeded in the end. I think this helps me get back on track when I need it! Every little battle at overcoming procrastination is a step closer to victory! 

Can you study in an environment with noise or music, or do you need it to be quiet?

I actually can study in different environments as long as it’s consistent. For instance, if I am in a café and there is noise and all the sudden, everybody leaves and it’s all quiet, I would be disturbed. Same goes for music if I start studying with music on I prefer to continue doing so for the entire session. The same also applies for quieter places like my home or the library. I like the feeling of knowing my environment is “set” and unchangeable so I can focus on my work.

What is your best piece of advice about studying?

Plan, plan, plan and plan. I think it’s best to divide your study (or writing) material in pieces and schedule a realistic time to do it. I find the waking up in the morning and saying “today I’m studying!” never works unless I planned in advance what I wanted to do. Being organised and doing well in school go hand in hand in my opinion. 

Thanks for asking me these questions! Good day!

Your icons are so cute!

Thank you so much! Yours is really adorable as well- I love the colours!

Well I'm not anonymous but I can spam you ;) So how is your conclusion going ?

Hahaha. Yes, no problem. :-) Well, I am done with the conclusion! I can now focus on correcting the first chapter of my thesis based on my professors comments. More work ahead!

J'aime! <=I can make laime joke too ;)

Ah, see, I think that’s where the name Aimée comes from. I think it’s something along the lines of “beloved” in meaning and obviously in French, aimer verb means love etc. But I do approve of your jokes ^_^

+ the name of the brand is LAMY (aka L + Amy). Coincidence? I think not.

Damnit, I can’t do that with the spelling of my name, it would just be Laime. Get it? It would just be lame... nevermind, my sense of humour is awful.
