I’m back and restarting the 100 days of productivity challenge because I certainly need to get myself together so I actually pass this semester with good marks. Practiced for a mock IOP. Fortunately, I know everything I want to say but stuttering sucks. Crossing my fingers for my Spanish test tomorrow too since it’s a grammar test!
It was unusually warm today so I went out for a nice walk. I don’t think I even wanted to come home because it was so peaceful.
Online school might be a pain, but at least I enjoy my classes this year. I think I'm finally adjusting to the IB workload but i'll see if I still feel that way in the coming weeks lol.
Here's some spanish vocabulary notes I did this morning.
07.30.20 | Thursday, July 30th
At this point, I’m pretty much on a daily routine of SAT prep, reading Great Expectations, and doing some Spanish review. Feeling a bit of burnout though, so I’m going to start trying to take breaks more!
27th July - Do you stay indoors or outdoors more in the summer?
Probably indoors more, it’s usually too hot for me to stay outside for too long. But I do go on frequent strolls, sometimes to parks.
28th July - How do you stay motivated to study during the summer?
I think of my future self being really thankful during the year for getting a head start on my work and also cutting down my procrastination habits that were really bad at some points. I’m also trying to figure out how to study healthily and still have time for myself, especially learning how to do crochet.
29th July - Have you done or are you planning to do any activities (such as work experience, summer schools or watching lectures) other than normal work during the summer?
I’ve actually joined a summer job program and I start this week! It used to be an in-person program where I would go to school for it, but it has recently been moved online, so I’m looking forward to what has changed about it.
30th July - Beach or Swimming pool?
Probably the swimming pool. I’m not a huge fan of either since beach sand can be irritating to get out and the chlorine in swimming pools make me sick sometimes but the pool is pretty useful to cool off quickly and easily. No mess, I just head out when I’m done instead of cleaning sand off of me and my stuff D:
Went inactive for a while again, I was going through some rough burnout and took a bit of a break from this blog.
Its only the start of the second semester and I've got soo many deadlines and so much to do. The beginning of this week was pretty bumpy and I got a not so good grade on an assignment, but I'm looking forward to improving.
I’m back! I took a bit of a breather from social media for a while to go on a mini-vacation with my family to Niagara Falls (while keeping masks and social distancing in mind). Today was a good day in terms of work; I finished a chapter in my test prep book and reviewed the simple future tense and its conjugations in Spanish. Time to catch up on all those questions I missed since I left: (under the cut)
22nd July - What is your dream vacation?
Probably Disneyworld or Universal Studios. I’ve been to both before already on a trip in middle school for a chorus competition, but I’m still a sucker for anything disney/harry potter related unfortunately haha.
23rd July - What is the worst vacation you have ever been on?
I don’t think I’ve ever been on a “bad” vacation before because I’ve enjoyed all of them. If I had to choose the one with the worst moments though, it would probably
24th July - What is your favourite vacation memory?
Watching Brother Bear in my cousin’s house using their Netflix account. It’s a fond memory that has really stood the test of time since I was 9 or 10 at the time.
25th July - What was is your favourite event or day in the summer? Are you a ‘summer person’ or do you prefer it when it is colder?
I don’t think I have a favorite day or event in particular; I used to love being able to stay up late and just wake up at whatever time I wanted though. I would say I’m more of a spring type of person.
26th July - What is your typical daily routine in the summer?
Since I have a lot of stuff to get done this summer, I wake up at around 7-8am, get started with my work for the day using a to-do list, taking frequent breaks throughout to relax, eat, and work out, and then I end the day off at 7:30-10pm with either light work, my hobbies, or a good video game.
27th July - Do you stay indoors or outdoors more in the summer?
I do both pretty frequently, but mostly indoors because the heat becomes too much at some point.
