Did a bit of weekend studying today.

I did some reading and tried my best solving some homework questions, but I got stuck allong the way. I'm planning to ask my friend to help me tomorrow or Monday.

How's your weekend?

My one lecture of the day was this morning at 8:30 abd ot started out a little weird. When I walked up to the room, I saw one friend and one other person I recognized from other lectures and that was it. When the class actually started, it was 4 people IRL, one online and the teacher. I knew not everyone joins the early morning lectures, but this was at another level. (Mind you, there are about 70 people who are supposed to attend this lecture.)

After that, I worked on the project with my team, but since I didn't feel all that well, I went home early and managed to get in a nap before working on another assignment.

How do you stay motivated during winter?

- This is actually something I struggle with. The darkness always makes it feel like you're halfway through the evening while it hasn't even 7 yet. One thing that helps me for the subjects where I don't have to write/read a lot is listening to Christmas songs.

What is your favourite winted outfit?

- I'm not too big on fashion, but I'd say dark jeans with a top and a soft cardigan.

What winter activities do you love?

- Wandering around on Christmas markets or in town where you can see into peoples home and look at their Christmas decorations/trees!

For the 2nd time since I start with my studies, my mathematics teacher has changed. Although the second one was explaining stuff in a way I liked a lot less than the first one, it was pretty great compared to the lecture I had today. This new teacher works with very few slides and try to teach us everything by doing. I, however, like to know the theory first and after that start working on exercises. About 1/3 of the amound of notes that you can see in the picture was made during class, while I made the rest of the notes after class in my own time.

Since this is the first lecture we have had by this teacher, I hope that this was a one time thing and that the next time will be better.

After a nice weekend, today I got to work on exam prep again. The aircraft structures exams is one of the easiest to prep for in my opinion, as the teacher posts a lot of homework exercises online and these exact questions could pop-up during the actual exam.

So far I worked through about 90% of the practice tests and I'm doing pretty well so far! I'm planning on doing the last questions tomorrow morning and trying to memorize the formulas and theory after.

I woke up feeling exhausted today. I had a dream in which I had to run around a city to find pieces of information to solve a mystery, which was quite stressful and therefore tiring.

My friend wasn't able to join class today, so I had only a limited amount of social interaction in my somewhat long day at uni. I did manage to get some homework done during the breaks though, so that was a little positive aspect. 🙃

Today was the first day of classes of term 2. My day actually only consisted of one lecture, but I did do some recommended reading for the course aswell.

In the aftenoon I went to the cinema to see ANNE+ (the movie), which was awesome. (I recommend watching the series on Netflix too!)

How was your day?

Tomorrow is the day of my aircraft structures exam.

I'm not gonna lie, but I am feeling quite confident. I was able to complete all the practice tests, made myself a nice formula sheet (which I can't use, but it helps my memory) and I was able to review all the we'll be practice questions in which I made a mistake.

Now I'm gonna try to fall asleep as soon as possible. I'll let you know how my test went.

Today I had three lectures and an appointment with my academic counselor.

The first two lectures were not too spectacular as most of their content wasn't that hard/wasn't new info for me, but the third one(engineering drawing) was exciting, because they taught us so much!

As for my academic counselor meeting, we went through my circumstances and what options are available for me. The outcome was as expected and I need to get a few minor things done, but then all will be alright.

Hope you had a good day! ❤
