минус гора мусора
не экологично, да, но я использовала бумагу только для этого. все конспекты у меня в электронном виде, так шо..
опять на введении в профессию на семинаре задают сделать на уроке что-то интересное. люблю это предмет за преподшу, она такая комфортная, милая, уютная, ну просто няшечка. никакой агрессии, голос такой мягкий.
нам разадали "декларацию самоценности" от вирджинии сатир и на основе неё нужно составить "декларацию профессиональной ценности практического психолога". щас вот подумаю-придумаю чево написать. самое интересное - что я не могу совершить ошибки в своём ответе, ведь это просто моё понимание меня как психолога (будущего)
почему бы и нет?
начинаем 50 дней продуктивности. но сегодня я поделюсь моими вчерашними победами поражениями.
вроде все основное сделала. работала до ночи. могла бы еще больше, но меня отвлекали, да и я сама залипла на сериал "девочки грилмор"
That's how I look when I'm studying :P

Today, we were supposed to learn about clinical presentations of hematologic disorders. The teacher came in, looked at us and told us he was not going to teach that. We were really confused until he opened a slide labelled clinical reasoning. He then explained that as 4th year medical students 7th week into our internal medicine attachment, we were not ecxpected to know a lot.
"Just the principles," he said. He also told us the feeling of inadequecy and lack of knowledge we feel when our peers answered a question we were struggling to grasp or find the answers for was completely normal. "It's because they read a section you haven't read, there might be sections you read they haven't. Think of it that way."
The fact that he said that quelled my imposter syndome just a little. I felt as if I knew nothing when my classmates answered real head-scratcher questions on bedsides, rounds and classes. And that feeling had affected my study sessions because they made me feel it wouldn't bring any change in my knowledge and I wasn't smart enough for medical school. Maybe these things were also felt by them no matter how much I thought they were confident in their knowledge.
Anyways, he taught us how to take history, do a focused physical examination and form our diagnosis based on the pertinent information from that.
I only wish that we learned this at the start of the attachment because it would've been a great help back then.
No one is instantly a perfect student. It’s well known that ‘’perfect’’ studying requires some practice. Fortunately, there is a bunch of information available on this topic on the internet. In this way everyone can become a professional student.

*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.
Does anyone have experience with changing their major? I’m going through an existential crisis and could really use someone to ask some questions about this
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
Current mood:
✨ staring at my mechanics assignment humming Adam Lambert’s „Whataya want from me“ ✨
Please send help 🙃
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.

Rainy Day impressions
u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw
Small kids will look up at you and with no prompting be like “umdidjyou no dat um one time my mommy and me um we um we we we went to da zoo and when I was dere um last summer we went to da zoo and didjyou no what was dere? A koala I seen those on Wild Krats.”
Like wow you have no idea how conversation works but boy are you giving it your all - I will stand here and look mildly surprised the whole time and when you’re done I’ll say “really?” And you will nod and look so victorious.

covid-19 fandom survey
here’s something i’ve been working on for quite some time!
i’ve been curious specifically about the impact the covid-19 pandemic and quarantine has had on fandom spaces, those in them, and the culture surrounding that. i don’t know too many people so it’s hard to get a concrete answer just out of observation -- that’s where you come in!
i’ve made a google form with some basic identity questions and questions based on your experiences - negative and positive - in fandom spaces over the last year. all i ask is that you are over the age of 13 at the time of taking this survey. i implore you to take it if you are transgender, lgbt+, or a fan-of-colour. i want your voices to be heard.
here is the survey link (more info below the cut)
provided i get enough answers to the survey, i’ll use the information for a study in the future -- if not, i may just publish it all as a post here, for you all to mind.
please spread this survey if you took it already or aren’t comfortable taking it yourself!
Found a nice photograph (linked in the source info) by Nick Fancher while looking for lighting refs and had to make a study✨
