I spent exactly one week doing nothing. And by nothing I mean nothing for university.

A week ago I rushed to my university to grab some books for the holidays (a great collection of books for my presentation, books about art history and books I want to read to chat with my lecturer about ) and ever since I‘ve been just sleeping and eating and I spent so much time watching movies - around 4 a day! Which is quite a lot - especially if you should be studying instead.

But enough is enough and I have to go back to a fixed routine ( right now I tend to fall asleep at around 5am and I wake up past 1pm ) and I have to start studying again! University starts on the 7th and my to-do list is endless!

It’s been so long since I’ve uploaded anything my gosh. Since today is 19 Years Later from Harry Potter, I decided to turn to translating the first few paragraphs of the chapter into French. I’ve got no idea how I did but I’m gonna check it against the French version to see!

I also created a monthly plan in an attempt to motivate me through this last month before uni starts again! I’m off to France in just over a week to do some teaching in a school which is actually quite scary but it’ll be good practice for my year abroad!

This is my slightly (completely) crazy looking mind map/summary/brain dump for my Global Jazz paper, which I got an A+ for! 

I separated topics out by readings.  This is not the way I study for every paper, but this paper doesn’t have typical lectures. Instead, we prepare the readings in advance for discussing them the next week.  Each member of the course will lead one seminar during the course at some point (you get marks for this). There are assigned listenings as well.  I found this way of summing up enabled me to see connections, and pull out the most important points from discussions and readings.  Our professor designs the test so that everyone is pushed for time, so I only missed one mark from the essay section (question was given early, but you couldn’t take notes in), and the remaining 9 missed marks were because I ran out of time in the short answer questions.  

I have just finished my annotated bibliography for the final project of this course, so I am now heading home, as I have to be at work at 6:20am tomorrow (it’s now 9:30pm) and it is a 40 minute walk down the hill.

February is looking kind of crazy 😓😅😓😅😓😅 but I can handle it! 18 credit hours this semester and I am (finally) done setting up my spreadsheet with all of my due dates and readings from the syllabuses all in a pretty organized way. Each of the big assignments are color coded so I know which class it’s for and they can stand out against the readings. Also, this spreadsheet in 90 rows long and going to get longer 😱. How are you guys making sure you stay on top of due dates this semester?

Forever in love with art history notes.
