summer studying challenge, 24th july: what is your favourite holiday memory?

probably when i was in menorca with my family in 2017 and we went to a cliff to watch the sun set over the sea. it was so beautiful!

me vs starting out a new skill with overly complex tasks and ending up not understanding and having to relearn the basics *facepalm*. every. damn. time! today i spent ages working on the python challenge then this evening wrote a fun little code to calm my brain :)

27th march 2020

was being all productive rewriting my higher physics notes (seeing as i’ve no set work until after easter -_-), but then i got onto fission and started raging about how undercredited lise meitner is, so now i’m in a state of feminist rage about the severe lack of women in stem and particularly physics. happy friday!

Quick reminder that we are going through a global pandemic right now, which is a major stressful event.

It is stressful even if no one you know is sick.

It is stressful even if you are working from home.

It is stressful even if you have no work / school responsibilities.

You are entitled to your stress. You may find yourself crying randomly, or getting randomly angry, or super tired, or bouncing off the walls, or unable to keep a thought in your head for more than 30 seconds. This is an expected stress response.

Give yourself a break. The world is not normal right now. Focus on just getting through it as best you can, utilizing whatever coping methods do the job. This is not forever. 

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

friday 25 october

some week/month planners from paperchase and a doodle i did while taking a break from maths, which was really stressing me out as i find that drawing helps calm me down when i’m worked up about something. i’ve also been journalling a short paragraph about each day every night which i’m enjoying!
