This past semester was a mess but I came out of it victorious ✨❤️

Today was my Physiology exam and i can gladly say i passed! It consisted of 3 separate components which needed to be all successfully taken in order to pass the whole thing, however 60% of the whole grade was the oral part and…uhm..it did not went accordingly 🥲

The professor asked me if “I even studied for the exam”, like I didn’t spend my whole year preparing for it and like the last 10 days did not feel like I was burried in textbooks and papers. 🫠

The unfairness in grading kept me upset this afternoon and I even thought about retaking this exam so I can show my full knowledge but I still don’t think it’s worth it considering how tired I already am…

Anyways, I’m still thankful it’s all over! I really can’t wait to take a few days off and enjoy my summer! (finally!!!) 🥹☀️

May 13 2026: I am painstakingly writing essays about mechanobiology and chemotherapy techniques. It's so boring (difficult to learn but actually very impressive once I understood it!!), and I can't wait to be done -- doesn't help that I'm sick + not sleeping well D:

Sick day number 3. I also found out my shift times for next week and I'm not happy :( I won't have much time to study next week before my deadline, so I have to complete most of it this weekend...

But generally I felt better today. My body is healing, I had more energy today and managed to get a good amount of stuff done.

Things I crossed off my list today:

read through all the information of no. 4

answer questions of no. 4

answer questions of no. 1

answer questions of no. 2

Slow studying, interspersed with a lot of sleep

Whoever needs to hear this: learning takes time, so take as long as you need. What matters is that you’re trying for yourself, that you’re not giving up even when education feels like it’s pushing you down. You’ll get there when it all happens.

20.07.2026—trying to find time for hobbies between all the working

[learnelle]

It is 1am and I am lovingly looking at pictures of my old study desk lol. In the morning I’ll add “decorate my new study space” to my summer bingo sheet ☀️

i’ve been thinking, lately, that scarcity, when you can afford it, is a lost art. we are always overstimulating our brains. more caffeine (for some of us), more music, more videos, more tv shows, more movies, more social media. more pictures, more, more, more.

less is always more. but nothing is, sometimes, just as good.

even better. ★
