Finals studying starts tonight. Napped after my classes, did requirements, went on meetings with org and MSC, and now going to take a break to wash up and have dinner before I full-on study.

Details on Dante and Beatrice. Trying to surround myself with beautiful things before spring break. This is my last semester, so the free time feels extra sweet.

Had plenty of time last December. Before the year ends, I read a lot like a lot. ☺️ 📚 I didn't have a chance to post here on studyblr 'cause I was enjoying my time outside. Twas a nice experience to spend my holidays in an unfamiliar setting.

I get to celebrate Christmas and New Year differently last year. 🌲 I answered some textbook quizzes, went to a night market, I get to explore diff coffee shops around the area and most expecially I learned how to live independently. 💗

So I ended up not eating it right away 😂

How do you know choose what to read every morning?

i have a to-read list for articles and a list for essays, so every morning i just pick one and roll with it

are you a med student too? I love love your handwriting and notes!

thank you so much! that means a lot to me ❤️ making pretty notes is how i motivate myself to study at all :')

i am not a med student, but i am currently working in clinical research (before applying to grad school in a few years).

how have you been!! ^.^

Hi Myrtle! I realized I might have gone a bit AWOL; a lot of things just piled up this week. My university is shifting back to opening next week so I’ve been gearing up for going back to research (making plans, etc.). And I’ve also gotten swamped with so much writing (woe the life of a grad student). My ever growing list of research papers I need to tackle is growing infinitely larger. Hopefully I can update a bit this week. I’m just low-key worried about a second wave of the COVID pandemic coming up without us anticipating it, and then everything getting shut down again (gotta make a contingency plan for that too regarding my research). I’ve also been avoiding all forms of social media tbh because I’ve gotten so bogged down with work that I’ve basically procrastinated on during the last two months (but what’s the point of beating myself up about not doing work while stressing out about the COVID pandemic and wanting to take care of my mental health).

How are you doing? I’ve read up about the Terror Bill in the Philippines, and honestly I’m terrified for you guys. I don’t know much about your country’s laws and constitution, but it sounds horrifying. P.S. Absolutely loving your new avatar!

To all my followers: Let me know how you guys are doing; I know I haven’t been the most active on this blog lately, but I’m always willing to have my blog be a comforting space for everyone - with everything going on in the world, having a reassuring space is always nice.
