Homework notes! I love doing pretty notes for Biology, especially the diagrams, and apparently my teacher loves it too. She thinks I should draw the diagrams for the textbooks. I have a 3-Note method, where I write it the first time, rewrite it within 48 hours for comprehension, then rewrite it a 3rd time, either before the test or before exams. I’ll probably do it as a mixture of both this year because of the accumulation of information for IB exams. Yikes!

We talked about college applications today in TOK with our guidance counselor and holy moly. I have so much to do on top of my normal schoolwork. Wish me luck!

So much to do today! Finished rewriting notes from yesterday, but I still have to write my study guide. I also have to do art research, experimenting, and work; I have to sketch out a shirt design for National Honor Society; I have to read and annotate more of Ethan Frome; and I have to study Spanish and for the SAT! Wish me luck! I have my friend over to be productive with.

Blue has been a constant for all my WWI notes. I have so much to do tonight... this will probably be a late night, so wish me luck. This is what is getting my through today:

My bullet journal spreads from last week and this week! School is picking up now but is still pretty slow, and I’m personally anticipating doing some real work. It makes me restless to just sit around talking. I may start work on IB Art stuff because I want to get ahead of the game with that subject.

I’ve had a really great day! The end of this week marks the beginning of truly-productive classes as we get out of the new-environment feeling and into actual work! I’m super excited, I’ve already sped-read Ethan Frome (though I don’t have to have it read until Monday), and I’ll do it again tomorrow to look for symbols and other literary stuff. I’m also working on my Biology infographic, where I have to make an info sheet about a scientist (I chose Leonardo Da Vinci!). The rest of my night will be jamming out to music, practicing on Duolingo, and reviewing for the SAT and ACT. If I have time, I’ll do a bit of bullet journaling!

I’ve had a busy day! Finished my math homework in class, finished my Bio notes in class, did a great job with Spanish and English, and I got my locker changed from the 900s to the 700s hallway, where most of my classes with textbooks are! This way, I only need to carry half of my normal load around at once, and at the end of the day I can choose what’s necessary. I’m so excited, I can finally improve my posture and work smarter. I am so grateful that the dean approved my request.

As you can see above, I’m working on an art project due tomorrow! It’s very silly, and not involved in my portfolio, but thankfully after it I should be getting into my serious work. Next Thursday, an outline of my plan for the Comparative Study for IB is due. Gosh, I need to find some up-to-date rubrics and examples, because they changed some parameters this year.

I have about 3.5 hours of homework to get to, so I’ll stop my rambling there! Sidenote: Thank you all for 2,222 followers! I’m honored!
