Happy geologist day🤠

Day- 02 ☕

Today was a day where I could do more , I could be getting the results I wanted but i didn't because the universe was testing me with a lot of troubles, distractions etc. But still I'm grateful because I have done something and I learned and i survived it 🪐🌸

🌷Physical:

Did yoga and breathwork together and I'm being consistent in it . ❤️

Did 16 pushups - a win for me .

💌Mental:

Found telegram channels teaching business and making money.

Started joe dispenza - Lewis howes podcast half way through it.

Learned new lessons.

Did journaling and intentions for the day .

🕯️Fallouts:

I did scrolling and it was bad because I felt bad after that .

Goal 01 : control anonymously scrolling through every platform available with focus, timer etc.

I wasted time and i don't even know where and i admit it .

Goal 02: Everyday, Do a feedback loop or reflection at the end of the day about the time spent .

Compared, I felt jealous and envious of others = human behaviour

Goal 03: Feel gratitude everyday for 5 mins with good music and do start manifest journal.

🌛Lessons learned today:

A person who is disciplined is the one who is free, others are just slaves to their emotions, feelings and instant pleasures.

You can always start again and again until you get better.

Tomorrow will be better and I'm here for it.

🌸🌪️🌊🕯️🙂‍↔️

—fuck sex, let's pull an all nighter where you teach me chemistry and i make coffee for you

I'm going to study Quant now.

I've been working on a research project for a few months and I've just sent my first results to my teachers. I'm very proud of myself but also very stressed about their opinions.

It's the first project I've done on my own, so it's far from perfect, but it's a start.

It was a rainy day... I love days like this. I only had a 50 minute class but I stayed a little longer finishing my pending tasks... I returned home and now I'm moving forward, I hope to finish everything on time.

I have a little math test tomorrow, it will only be two questions.

I have to finish my lab reports.

I started university a few weeks ago, it was a great experience. I am adapting to this change. Next week the practical exams for all the courses begin. I feel terrified and at the same time I have a strange feeling.

qPCR and extraction of DNA

This morning I had the opportunity to practice DNA extraction from a blood sample from a South hospital. It was a rather nice experience since I wasn't anxious at all, I had overcome my fear of micropipette.

The longer I look at the illustration my materials science professor put in his PowerPoint, the more convinced I am, that he secretly hates students and is actively trying to sabotage us

Or he has grown fond of us over the last year and he just wants to see our faces again next semester

Do you ever feel like it was way easier to find friends, when you were younger? I don’t know what happened, but somehow between the age of 13 and now, I lost most of my social skills. I get really bad anxiety when talking to strangers and now I only have one friend at Uni and she’s skipping classes pretty often so I don’t know if she’ll pass the exams. All of my close friends live far away, I’m scared of being lonely.

Well, at least I have the neighborhood cats, that’s step one of my 15-year-plan to become a crazy cat lad 🩵🤍

#Whatwouldmariedo, if she had to take a math test on Wednesday about a, b and c, but in her math lecture they’ve only ever talked about subject a and b and will certainly not cover subject c before next week, so she is not sure, how to solve problems involving subject c

Current mood:

✨ staring at my mechanics assignment humming Adam Lambert’s „Whataya want from me“ ✨

Please send help 🙃

It has come to my attention that drinking an average of five coffees a day is not considered normal/healthy. I also am starting to think that my permanent headaches may be caused by caffeine withdrawals when I don’t meet my coffee average.

I did a quick doodle during my math class, look at this cute little dragon 💕

Anyways, I‘m skipping my physics lecture today in order to get some other things done before going to work. So not ✨academia✨of me

Absolutely no studying today.

Sometimes one just needs to take a break and visit places they’ve been at a thousand times before. It’s a special kind of comfort.

Today’s soundtrack ✨

Hello there, I think it’s time to introduce myself ✨

My name is Sophie (actually my second name, but I prefer this one over my first name) and I am 22 years old. I‘m currently doing my bachelor’s degree in Medical Engineering and work part time at a small café

•I‘m very much in love with the neighborhood’s stray cats and currently trying to befriend them (aka bribing them with salmon snacks.)

•I also like swimming, reading cliché romance novels, crocheting and art.

•I‘d describe myself as a quite sensitive and creative person, but I also love the structure and logic behind science, that’s why I chose this field of study.

If you have any book recommendations, questions, anecdotes you think I would enjoy, feel free to send me a message 🦆 I would love to make some new friends on this site

Also I do have an Instagram Account with the same username, but I feel like tumblr is a bit less overstimulating, that’s why I like using this app
