July 28th and July 29th - How do you stay motivated to study during the summer? 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?
Last summer when I took classes, I stayed motivated by setting specific work times (usually in the mornings) and then rewarding myself with Youtube and Netflix, visiting friends or my bf at the time, etc afterwards! This summer has been more difficult, but I’ve been watching a lot of study with me’s and med student videos to keep myself excited about learning.
So besides physics, I’m working with our coronavirus team at our university to perform contact tracing towards the end of summer and early Fall. I also just got the opportunity to help with some COVID-19 research, but my boss still hasn’t sent me a reply email even though one of the meetings was supposed to be today. :( Besides that, just summer classes and staying home!
