Been pretty quiet on here these past few days. Not doing a lot; struggling to get the bare minimum done. Still being consumed by The Pitt- I am Robby & he is me. I’ll finish the show once I’m done with studying for today. For now I’m glad that I managed to get at least something done…

to do: study for culstud exam (4ish days left), 1x essay outline, exercises on citation, tasks for didactics class, essay for litstud

Watch me fail to study for an hour in this timelapse taken literally right now! It may look productive, but I spent that whole hour failing to absorb info that ended up not even being on the study guide for the controls midterm tomorrow, which pissed me off so badly I had to get up right now and take a food break before I snapped at someone for no reason.

I feel like this is one of the most annoying parts of ADHD that no one really mentions because it doesn’t fit the general perception of ADHD— overstimulation from cognitive/task overload leading to insane frustration seemingly out of nowhere.

For me personally, this ends up presenting itself as extreme responses to sensory stimuli and overreactions to my tasks being interrupted (I almost started yelling in the beginning when the pen I was writing with got ink on my fingers LMAO).

Normally my solution would be to take a break, but unfortunately I don’t have enough time with my midterm tomorrow, so a shit load of sugar/carbs/caffeine is going to have to do for now. Taking the time rationalize my frustration and talk about it here has surprisingly helped a lot too! I have to get back to work though, so long rant over ig

Just realised I’ve only got one week left with my parents. After that, I’m off to university — and I’ll be there for 5–6 years. The course gives just one week of holidays in the whole year, which is… wild. Then I’ll get a job, start working, get busy with life… and then and then… It hit me today that I only got to properly live with my parents for 18 years. And after this, I’ll mostly be on my own. I don’t know, it’s messing with my head a little. I feel excited about everything that’s coming, but also kind of sad. Like something big is ending, and no one really talks about it. Life feels weird. A little depressing, to be honest. I know there are people going through worse things, but my brain is just overthinking everything right now and making this realisation feel heavier than I expected.

Trying to lock in again after a terrible week (I yapped in the tags lols) while my cramps wage war against me. Unfortunately exams and academic validation wait for no one so I have a LOT of catching up to do.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I’ve had a slight nervous breakdown this week, so I’ve decided to visit my parents for a few days. It took me a long while to convince myself that it was alright to take some time away and that I deserve a break, but I’m here now and I already feel much better!

I’ve finished my midterm report so all I have left to do is organise my next thesis committee meeting. I suppose while I wait I can already get started on preparing the presentation, but I can worry about that when I go back to London next week. I did a lot of flow cytometry this week, doing final checks on the phenotype of my sorted CD8+ T cells. I don’t understand hooooow I managed to end up with CD4s when I sorted for CD8s, but I’m still doing some reading to try and figure that out.

On another very positive note, I joined the Letters to a Pre-Scientist programme a few weeks ago, which matches you with a middle school child in the US with an interest in science, and I have finally been assigned a pen pal!! I should be getting my first letter soon, and I’m very excited to start communicating with him and learning about his interests in STEM.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Take some time to see the people you love, and make sure you give yourself a moment to relax.

what do you mean if I am an "honest" and "realistic" studyblr? is posting one thing and disappearing for weeks on end not realistic enough for you? :/
