notes for biochem and a quick study snack :)

i’m glad to say that i'm mostly caught up with one of the classes i fell behind in? i have an exam in that class next week so i'm glad i got that out of the way

i'm preparing in advance for what has been dubbed "hell week" (a single week where i have four assignments/projects and two exams due). i think it's going to be hard to manage it all on top of my everything else going on but we'll see (fingers crossed!)

goals for today:

finish biochem lectures

finish biochem weekly assignment

submit proposal

start making a few flashcards for biochem exam

Still not a fan of ochem but a big fan of when organic chemists say a molecule "attacks" another molecule like it just cracks me up

Experimenting with a bit of a different room set up. I moved the small bookshelves to new spots, and brought in my plant shelf. We’ll see how I end up liking it!

some work from today (featuring my lil light-up duck that helps me time my shorter study sessions)

some of my assignment due dates were shifted around which ended up coming in pretty handy. i'll be focusing on studying for an organic chemistry exam for the next couple of days before finally going on break (yay!)

i've been having a lot of trouble getting started on work after classes, so i developed a bit of a framework for making it easier (might make a post about this soon). hopefully i'll remember to keep implementing it in the future :)

goals for the next few days:

make and study flashcards for unit 2 of organic chemistry

memorize reaction flowchart

memorize reaction mechanisms

do a few practice exams

15.04.2024—feels good to be back doing some study

[sleepy-studies]

five recipes for an exciting life (in my opinion)

spending enough time creating things with your hands (baking, drawing, scrapbooking, doodling, crocheting, journaling and so on)

keeping track of things like pretty skies, milestones, happy memories, appointments you're looking forward to

listening to music that genuinely makes you feel happy and energetic

making a habit of reaching out to people in a way that's comfortable to you (i send my dad songs he might like, my friend sends me monthly life updates)

being kind to all your five senses → like investing in a scented candle or essential oil dispenser or body mist, having a soft blanket or socks (or a soft animal to pet), listening to birdsong or the rain, looking at the sky more often, and having your favorite foods enough times

been trying to catch up on sleep as much as possible but managed to make it to my lab section earlier today! now i just have to keep catching up on lectures from the past couple of weeks and i should be all set.

looking forward to this weekend; i want to start reading again and finish a couple of crochet projects i started a couple of months ago.

goals for today:

two lectures for biochem

three lectures for organic chemistry

I've been seeing lots of fascinating animals in nearby forests lately, so I'm doing some evening reading on local fauna 🦋

march 11th, 2024

it has been a good while since the first post i've made, but i really wanted to make this a regular thing so i thought i'd start today.

it's a really nice day out, so i might go for a walk before getting started on some work for class. i haven't slept too well on account of the two exams i had back-to-back last week (note to self: please start studying more than two days in advance so as not to screw up your sleep schedule).

overall, i just need to focus on getting caught up in my classes. i've missed several lectures due to illness or just straight up being sleep deprived and i really need to get back on track while still taking care of myself. i'm a week behind in one class and two weeks behind in another, although i'm all caught up in the other two, which i'm pretty proud of. i think i can get caught up eventually -- i just need to make some good progress on work :)
