And the literature review continues. I’m struggling to find anything relevant to what i want to write about. Which is both exciting, because it means i have new things to say, and scary, because it’s hard to back my ideas.
Also, we still have SO MANY Christmas snacks. Look how pretty the Christmas Cake is!
I'm working on this research and it's stressing me out because I don't know if I'll make it up to the date is due, but I'm gonna try my best.
To make me feel better, I made myself some tea, a banana with oats and put on my crush's sweater (he lent me on 23rd bc it was cold 🤧🥺). It's gonna be fine, just a few weeks more. Gotta take it easy. ❤️
Went full on christmas mode today to keep meself motivated.
Dunno why but december is one of the business months in terms of studying but it also means working with festive songs in the background — I can work with that!
Finished my chapter nine review! It looks like I only did two pages of notes, but there is actually 11 pages. I feel good and productive, but I'm going to take a small break and dive into my essay that's due Tuesday.
I’m really exited to announce my first studyblr challenge and competition, The 12 Days of Christmas study challenge!
I’ve been thinking for a while of ways to be productive during the holiday period and I’ve designed a new study challenge to be completed over the 12 days of Christmas! I’m really exited to give this challenge a try, and I really hope you’ll join me!
