Today’s pretty good. Woke up feeling really rested after sleeping in bf’s jacket (which I’m deeply contemplating if I should keep for the rest of the week). Got a decent amount of work done, and went for the calc 2 swotvac tute that was held everyday :)

Final exams are starting in two weeks so I’ve decided to begin a 30-day challenge to catch up with work and revisions. I’ve also decided to start posting here so that I remember my progress :). It’s not *the* 30-day studyblr challenge since I don’t think I’ll be organized enough to follow the guidelines 😂.

Anyway, the semester is almost over (at least here in Melbourne)! We’re close ppl!

left: was working through my last assignment for the semester - physics hw. If I may give u a tip: Read them textbooks. right: snack after using all that brain power. _ Ah yes. I missed posting most of this week’s productivity challenge. That was actually a telling of how busy my week 12 had been. Caught the flu, but I think I’ll recover before exams start. If you’re taking foundations of computing you’ll know how relieved I feel rn (no more worksheets! And No. More. PROJECTS. I’m only half joking, but damn those words give me goosebumps).

If you feel like interacting, I’d love to know what you all are studying :) I’m taking physics, computing, calculus II, and critical thinking.

[8.Jan.17] I’ve just watched Arrival. It was AMAZING. The movie tells the process of humans trying to communicate with an alien. We follow a linguist deciphering an alien language incredibly different than what humans use. Of course, the physics involved enticed me :) Time is a fascinating subject.

This is a snippet of the screenplay written by Heisserer for the movie. If I remember, half of this page weren’t in the movie. It would’ve been cool if it did.

Heisserer discussed his writing process in the article linked below. This is the description of the picture

“…A scene in which Colonel Weber and fellow scientist Ian Donnelly approach Louise, concerned for her mental stability after she translated some heptapod writing in real-time without the need for reference images or software. This is where the viewer learns about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, and how immersion in a foreign language can rewire our brains.”
