Study Motivation - Blog Posts
After a very long period of time, I'm finally here!
Although I could take pictures of my study environment, my depressive mood didn't allow me to do what I really desire, which is running a blog with my bestie in a regular manner.
These are very fresh photos from today and yesterday. My new and last term at university has started but I can barely start to study. The daisies were given me by my cutie friend and the reason why I took the specific photo of one of them is that every other daisies are white and surprisingly this was yellow! I really like rare things in life so I wanted to share this with you.
Have a good day everyone!

After a short break, keep working again!
I won't be taking classes because I'm in an internship this semester, but I'm still working in two labs and the obligation to do so is increasing :')
Be prepared to see posts full of articles, even though I'm still not ready to read..

İnsanız. Kendi memleketimizden uzakta çetin bir imtihan veriyoruz. Mü'minler "işittik ve iman ettik" derler. Gerisi rıza kapısı..
Musiki için: Benim Adım Dertli Dolap

From coding to neurobiology and from neurobiology to coding.. In between, running to laboratories and projects… I wish my dopamine level could cope with the academia challenges :))

Hello from the academic side :)
Unlike everyone else, as someone who has not yet taken a vacation, I am at least entering my last week before the finals. But the endings are often harder…
After a coding war.. 🥲
For music: Çok Yorgunum
{Ladin}
Some dark vibes...
But I like it like that!
Plus, the light on the page and darkness surrounds you is the best focusing condition, at least for me.

Reading article is fun!
This term we conducted an experiment about color and memory and I was the literature reviewer girl in the group just because I love reading and annotating articles (the flavor of my favorite coffe shop makes everything better). Each group member also found participants which was quite fun and conducted the experiment.

This was from my first psychology exam studying.
The date: March 2020
The time things were about to change :')

Before starting this blog, I talked to my friend that we would share the working environment without worrying about aesthetics. So sorry for the mess :)) Although I am not a person who can not study in a messy environment in general, sometimes it can be better.
Never be a "never can" person. Fighting!!
For music: Drama Köprüsü
{Ladin}
Statistics, my last final... I newly finished a devastating term :') Now I feel more alive lol

Did you know that flies can see their surroundings at 330 degrees thanks to the lenses in their eyes? I am more surprised when I see the fly hitting everywhere in the house.
The day before the Behavioral Neurobiology exam..

Did I say that I {Çınar} have a minor from studies in administration?
It's from a studying session for the final exam of one of my administration class.
just before the psychopathology final study sessions started...
The exam was relatively good by the way.

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.

I will go in London with my sister in August ! So I planned our trip a bit and looked for informations. I also began Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. My version is in English but have some translations and explications on page margins.
That is actually 2 years of flashcards. It look enormous. I'm so proud of it, it help me revise quickly ! Also I made notes for technical drawings, I don't have flashcards anymore but a piece of paper do the job. Also it's ??/100 days of productivity but miss the count.
44/100 days of productivity: So in the beginning of this school year I made those notes in many chapters. Now I found their usefulness. Also I have stomach ache but this won't stop me to work even if I'm better in my bed.
43/100 days of productivity: During 2 years I used to make notes and now I'm really happy to have done them. It's way easier to learn all I have to know. Also I like to write and rewrite to learn. I did it every time last year and do it again now and I think it is a good way to learn quickly since I have a visual memory and a memory to write (don't know how to explain). You know, the idea is to be quick and learn not writing well. So yes it is not aesthetic but useful and practical. But look at all those Bristols I have made !
