I feel a lot better after making this post, it doesn't feel unreasonable when I put it like this :) I have so many things due and it feels like time is just slipping through my fingers and i've missed so much and I'm far too old and I should just drink windex but we persevere ;\ oh also AP exam update I got 5's on WHAP, calc BC, and physics I but ofc my 3 in apcs (which I self studied for and am going to retake this year) means I should die (I love my father sm)

hi guys! bit of sad news :(

I don't think I'll have access to a laptop regularly for the next month at least (no more live-blogging boooo) but I feel a lot better about my productivity AND I convinced my parents to buy me a flip phone because I need to organize things with my friends and clients constantly :)

I'll miss y'all though :']

EDIT: currently in negotiations with the 'rents and I mighttt be regular on here again but don't want to commit to anything honestly so if you see me liking your post that's why :)

it has been a hectic day today! I applied to like fifty different jobs because my mom was talking to my friend and found out she works at Kumon (Asian parent final boss) and now I need to get myself employed by the end of the month. my friends and their moms came over for lunch, and I have this horrible thing where when people chew food I want to combust into a million pieces so that was NOT fun. I also live in an area where literally nobody actually likes people and everyone is a soulless productivity robot who just has to churn out more work (gotta love Cali amirite) so I don't think I enjoyed myself either. oh well,

• Pretty good day. Tiring though

• Saw some great presentations

• Read some substack articles which inspired me to maybe start another commonplace book? This time I might keep it exclusively for mind gardening. Or I could make an online mind garden. Idk.

• I’m feeling pretty academically inspired after the proceedings of the past two days!

June 1st: German and a second hand copy of Northanger Abbey 💛

as the stress ramps up during summer vacation with everyone stuck at home I am expecting some not fun days ahead but I think sacrifices need to be made ( flashback to when I was diagnosed with GAD after burning out halfway through the school year because I was taking five AP's but my parents decided to ignore it because mental health is a scam obviously :D ) we will power through with the divine strength bestowed unto me by my lord and savior gerard way

this weekend summarised in one picture. hope this pays off tomorrow during the technical interview. but honestly, even if i don’t pass, i’m still going to be so proud of myself because the old me could’ve never been able to do all of this in one weekend.

i've had a pretty hectic time trying to reassure my parents that I won't do heroin and end up in a ditch because my report cards weren't pristine and my mom was fasting she was pestering my dad, but I think I can make this work! They've been threatening to take my internet access but joke's on them i'll just do heroin and throw myself into aforementioned ditch :D so anyways if you don't see me post in a while i'm probably just suffering eternally ;)

Summer to me is a lot about endings. In particular this summer will be all about endings as I wrap the past few years up, not exactly in a neat bow but it will be wrapped and I'll move forward. I'm preparing for some final exams and will continue writing my thesis. Over the summer I hope to get around to learning some algebraic number theory, I've spend the majority of the past year on algeraic geometry which has been a treat however I would like to do something else for a while. Beside that I'm enjoying the moment, I try to refrain from borrowing grief from the future. The melancholy is here, but so is the joy, both are essential to a human experience and I'm just here to be here.

excuse me weird al yankovic do you think i should take multivariable calculus next year

Sure

excuse me weird al yankovic do you think i should take multivariable calculus next year

Sure

excuse me weird al yankovic do you think i should take multivariable calculus next year

Sure

this is wonderful thank you so much! i have been ravioli approved y'all I'm going to be an academic weapon next year Harry styles says so and he's never wrong :D

hello mrs. ravioli it would mean the world to me if you approved one of my posts. big fan of your work

this post has been ravioli approved.

I'm planning to make my study blog more focused on studying other things, because I think it's really important to make observations about your environment and a rigorous curriculum always helps (for me, at least)!

I'm probably going to post about my time blocking, mushroom foraging, art history courses, projects I'm working on, etc because those feel like 'humanities' courses, almost. I would totally recommend self studying something, but if you need a break, don't burn yourself out :)

Genuine question, what do people do with their study blogs when summer break rolls around?

I don’t have internships or summer courses or anything… but maybe I’ll self study smth!

june 4th / quiet study day at home

my second politics exam is tomorrow in the afternoon. i feel okay about it, but not too confident, but i don't think i ever will when it comes to exams. i managed to review all of my flashcards for politics paper 2, and realised i had forgotten to revise an entire topic a day before my exam, but hopefully i've made up for it.

i have my history exam on italy the day after politics (on friday) which isn't particularly helpful with the amount of content that comes with it, but i'll do what i can. i managed to review some of italy today, but i'll cram the vast majority tomorrow.

overall, today has been okay. i have consumed 3 lots of caffeine, but that's where the energy source is coming from, but i'm not complaining - it tastes good.

M2 diaries: day 01/100. I started off strong with pharmacology, one of my most hated subjects. I decided to use the Amboss study plan but changed the order of the subjects a bit. I am kind of panicking about my low score. The practice questions didn’t match the articles, so it’s not even that surprising, but it’s good to see how I apparently lack a lot of background knowledge. 🤡

Anyways, I will try to stay optimistic. Overall, the questions seem to be manageable once you actually study the material. Also, I actually enjoy the studying so far and the feeling of every piece coming together after three years of clinical studies. Lastly, my study snack was heavenly delicious, would recommend!

06/04/2025

planning for tomorrow, it's going to be a good day!

june 3rd / coffee shop study day

completed a whole topic for my italy exam on friday, which i’m not too sure how i feel about. it’s a lot of content (obvi) but it’s just sooo overwhelming. i still have to complete 3 topics, which is too many flashcards to count.

i got a fair amount done, but i need to start focusing on my politics exam on thursday. i never really feel prepared for exams, but im hoping thats just the nerves. im going to do a massive politics day tomorrow, and then try and do a bit of history as well (hopefully)

the coffee was a solid 8/10. i had a bit too much ice in it and it went so watery, but it still did what it needed to do (taste good and give me energy)

All of my borrowed books have been returned, i have no absences, notebooks have been finished, and my classes have been passed ♡
