[vaguelycoherentthoughts]

There's this subject (political science) that I've been getting 50/80 in for 2 years and I've got the final for it in 2 days.

If I pull a miracle out of my ass and somehow get 75 in it, my percentage will be saved

If not, well

Let's not think about that

I can try at least, no?

I just need to convince myself it's possible

[duhhmerry]

is this the end of semester or end of me ?

I finished all of my readings for this week, now it’s time to focus on the group project, research, recitations, and notes!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! I haven’t had the chance to post or take photos lately, I was busy sleeping.. lol

(something I found interesting)

Pippa Norris on Twitter: How authoritarian is the GOP compared with other major parties in OECD societies? Very. The GOP position towards ethnic minority rights & liberal democracy is close to Polish PiS and Turkish AKP, although a few others like Greece's XA are more extreme.

The text and chart above are from the tweet of the scientist, what follows are my thouhgts. 

As you see in the chart, compared globally, Trump is not alone with his views - but in this study he does seem alarmingly extremist. I spot a large party in my own country (FIN_PS - they are in opposition now, so the legislative power they have is limited) a notch more respectful for liberal democratic principles but a smaller notch more racist (YES i think “opposes ethnic minority rights” can be shortened as such).

The problem is, the president of the United States has a lot more political power to make fast changes than any political party in a multi-party parliamentary democracy. But that doesn’t take anything away from the responsibility of citizens in every country to stay informed about what the politicians are on about, vote wisely and speak against hate.

My study essentials:

My book ofc

Highlighters that should be in order 😅

My so-called motivational notebook (it contains quotes, lyrics, and Bible verses to keep me going)

Bluetooth speaker

My lovely personalized Pol Sci pillow

My great grandma's batik malong

And Joyful Heart's essential oils to help me focus and wake my brain up💖

I honestly am having a hard time studying since yesterday because of my body pains and the feeling of fatigue. I think I have overworked myself lately 😅

But good thing I have done some things that I couldn't do during weekends like handwashing my clothes and pillowcases, finishing up an order from my online business, and finally sleeping in 😂

We had an extra rest day this week, but it didn't really feel like a holiday as I spent it reading and preparing for a recitation tomorrow.

This week's to do list so far is:

Study for recitation

Study for quiz

Write 2 essays

That's all ^^

I have a loooooong day tomorrow! This calls for coffee overload for sure 😅

** Update: Our Ministry activities for today has been moved! More time for review! 🎉

Just listenting to songs while waiting for classes to start. All we're doing this week is meet our professors, official classes will start next week so I guess I'll have a bit more time to read and prepare ✌
