I’ve been looking into some Sustainability Challenges TM to really dive into this degree headfirst. There’s still so much more I could be doing on a personal level to reduce my impact. I know that personal emissions aren’t really the main problem, but it’s somewhere to start, right? Do you guys have any sustainable products you’re especially fond of? Or have any of you heard of or participated in sustainability challenges before?

2.26.21 - 32/100 days of productivity

- it’s my half birthday! officially survived half another year

- early two-hour desk shift - got one chapter of piano lit notes transcribed

- no classes today and i wasn’t scheduled to work my fast food job. i did spend time running around because i realized i lost my bluetooth pedal i use to turn pages while i read music off my ipad. :( at first i thought i put it somewhere stupid when moving things around between two bags (i try to not use my backpack if i have to walk across campus, especially with an instrument, and i have a smaller bag so i can pack lighter) but it’s nowhere in my room or my locker in the music building. i probably left it under a piano somewhere after practicing. i keep hoping someone will turn it in to the music office, and i emailed the music secretary to keep an eye out for it. that being said, all my orchestra music is on my ipad, so i had to move all my markings and bowings into my hard copies.

- did my laundry for the week and reorganized my dresser drawers. i’m really into organized clothes folding like marie kondo does. i find it really satisfying and my sock drawer makes me so happy right now. it’s the little things.

- orchestra concert! (with hard copies of music and page turns, but it turned out fine.) it went really well. my friend played her piano concerto and it was gorgeous. i’m a bit sad though because it’s my second to last concert as an undergrad. i was talking about it with my violin teacher after the concert, and she jokingly said, “well, i could always give you an incomplete on something so you’d have to come back another semester!”

- and now, it’s bedtime. tomorrow’s gonna be long. i work an early desk shift and then i’m working a double (~11 hours) at work because otherwise night shift is kinda screwed and it’s nice out so we’re gonna be busy.

Term Reflection ✨☁️

At the end of each term, I answer a few questions in my journal to reflect on the term: how I did, how I can improve, and what steps I should take. I’m going to share the questions and my answers for the last term under the cut!

1. What did you do well? 💡

I balanced five very difficult classes that had deadlines on top of each other at the end of the term, as well as worked a part-time job and participated in extracurricular activities. I really did an excellent job managing my time this term.

2. What did you do poorly? ❌

I was overly stressed about school. Once I submit something, I really have to commit to knowing that there is nothing more that I can do. I’ve already submitted my work, so there’s no point in worrying so much.

3. Why do you think those things went poorly? 💬

I'm just hard on myself.

4. What is your priority for next term? 🤓

Be more kind to myself. I would extend kindness and understanding to anyone in my situation, so I should treat myself with the same grace.

5. What will you try to work on next term? 📝

I’m going to be kinder to myself. I’ll also be submitting a grant and will submit my research abstract to be considered for a conference. Also, let’s maintain that 4.0. GPA baby!

6. How will you try to achieve these new goals and break bad habits? 😌

Be kinder to myself - I’m going to schedule in breaks and let myself relax if I need to, even if the class load seems overwhelming. I will continue to stay on top of my classes but I will take mental health days when I need to and will commit to getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night. This is my most important goal: life is so difficult right now, so I ought to be kinder to everyone, and that includes myself.

Grant submission - I want to submit it by the end of January, so I will spend the next week finalizing the budget and the following two weeks editing and refining it so I have the best chance of being awarded the grant.

Research abstract - This is a long-term goal, but I’m going to meet with my advisor next week to outline what I need to do to get this done. So, more on this later!

Maintain a 4.0. - I need to stay organized, continue to ask questions and ask for help when I need it, and not procrastinate. That’s all very doable and I expect myself to be able to achieve this goal with the right amount of work.

7. What was a high of this term? 🥳

On the same night I found out that I had been accepted into an independent research program starting in March AND that I had received funding for my project from the university. It was a very exciting night!

8. What was a low of this term? 😔

The end of the term is, as always, rough. However, I feel like I felt particularly burnt out at the end of this term. It was hard for me to even get out of bed. This is why being kind to myself throughout next term is a priority. I want to avoid this.

9. How did you grow this term? 🧠

I've become a more involved person. Even though I’m away from campus, I’ve become involved in two extracurriculars I was not previously involved in, and these extracurriculars have improved the quality of my life. It’s been so nice to have (remote) social events to look forward to!

Academically, I took multiple upper-division courses and did well. I'm excited about my curriculum for the rest of the academic year. I'm excited to continue learning.

10. What's one thing you're proud of that you did this term? 💕

I've maintained my 4.0. I've finished my STEM GE's. I’ve taken on leadership positions in my extracurricular activities. Those are admirable to me, and I’m proud of myself for achieving these things.

As an arts and humanities student, I’m so glad to be done with STEM. I’m so impressed with those of you who pursue it! But I am personally so excited to be done.

☁️✨ I hope this was helpful for you to read! Happy 2021 - may it treat us all with the kindness and gentleness we need - and good luck with your upcoming term! ✨☁️

MORE MATH, what’s new?

new school year is a drag. I feel like I’ve been in school way longer than a week. shoutout to IB and having the same teachers for two years, I guess.
