Some Small Quirks

I give my Sonas quirks, and it's like a God bestowing a blessing upon their creations, which I guess, at the end of the day, is what it is. But anyways, let's talk about some (of many) little quirks Rhea and Pearl have!

Rhea: 

She has a habit of biting her nails, like alot. 

In general, she has a lot of tics, many repetitive actions that are pretty noticeable when you spend enough time with her.

She uses her fingers to trace the skin texture on her face, usually when she's stressed or needs to calm herself.

She uses her index and pointer fingers to go over all the bumps and pores.

She plays with her hair, looping in with her fingers or brushing it behind her ear when she talks about anything romantic in nature. 

She shakes her hands and head involuntarily when she feels rain (and only rain, not water or a shower) fall onto any part of her body.

Pictured here:

When she laughs, she also claps her hands together, a tiny round of applause, if you will.

Lots of small things like that I've gifted to her. She is a very physically expressive person (MAYBE THAT's WHY HE FINDS HER SO EASY TO READ), but it's not on purpose. They are like little stims she has. 

When she is overwhelmed and excited, she scratches her scalp. It's not hard or anything; it kinda just looks like she's going crazy clawing at her hair. LMFAO

She also cannot sit still for more than 10 minutes, maybe because she has to stay moving when she is busy at work.

But she does stuff like play with her rings, taking them off and on and off and on again.

cracking her fingers/knuckles finger by finger in order almost meticulously

Pearl:

When she talks, she has the habit of repeating every statement, like right after she says it, she says it again.

It's like an echo and worsens when she's excited or energetic.

 But even in everyday conversations, it happens. If you know me, you know kinda what I'm talking about, but to explain more.

Here is a monologue in which she begs Liz to let her use the phone for a bit longer to get the point across.

"No, no, I think I'm actually going to die; I'm actually going to die. Listen, listen, just let me use it for a bit longer, just let me use it for a bit longer... and I'll do, like all your chores for the week, do all your chores for the week. Please, please!

It didn't work.

But yeah, if you know me and how I talk, you will understand what this speaking quirk is like in action.

She also has a lot of speaking quirks in general.

She talks quickly, like 90% of the time, so she often stumbles on words, mainly longer ones.

She has to physically stop and slow down to try and say them.

Some of her friends and family will say the word she is trying to say for her before she can.

She gives up at that point.

On the physical side, the main thing she does involuntarily is use her hand to hide her face when she smiles or laughs; she usually averts her eyes as well.

It's not out of shame or anything. It's just what she does automatically.

This past month has been the most challenging time in my academic career. One of my classes is just kicking my ass. I have never studied for anything as hard as I have for this class but still I can't seem to do well. We just got our midterms back and i failed (I couldn't even finish the exam in the time given so I knew it was coming) but my professor published the score range + average and like everyone is failing...The average was a 40% and the lowest grade was a 5%. After we got things back everyone in my program actually started talking about the class and now I honestly feel so much better about it; just knowing i'm not alone in struggling is comforting. (Also realized that on the exam I got everything that I was able to answer correct, so I just keep telling myself that I'm not completely lost here and it helps me not dwell on the grade as much.)

So anyway pro-tip: Grad school is hard. Online grad school is even harder, and makes forming a community with your peers difficult, but man is it worth it to not feel alone in this struggle.

I have officially submitted all my midterms and now i’m already beginning final paper and exam prep. I’ve been trying to get myself outside more and more, so last Sunday I went to the Smithsonian Museum of American Art as a little study break! I forgot how much I love museums so it was nice to just relax and browse so cool art. i’m hoping to make it out to a couple other Smithsonian Museums before the cold sets in, also they’re free which is so nice for a grad student on a budget!

I’ve also starting using the Pomodoro method for studying and it has made me so much more productive! It’s a lot easier to pump myself up for a 25 minute study session and then once I get in the groove I just stick with it better, so I definitely recommend giving it a try. 

P.S. Here is a picture of my new child Jeremy to make up for my absence!!

My first semester of grad school is officially finished, so now i’m just sitting and waiting for my grades to come...

#im so nervous #rhearambles #studyblr #black studyblr #BNIstudies #grad school #graduate school

[rheajstudies]

I feel like i’m running on fumes, but just one more week and I can relax! This first semester of grad school was definitely harder than I thought, but I definitely learned so much so i’m excited for the next year and a half.

#hopefully i get to go in person for my second year #but here we go home stretch! #rhearambles #studyblr #BNIstudies #black studyblr #graduate school #grad school #university #uni #chemistry #environmental science #science

Day 3 // Why did you create your studyblr?

I created my studyblr to keep me accountable for my graduate studies mainly. I attempted to start one up during undergrad but for some reason I could just never quite get into it. Now though it really helps to feel a part of a community, especially during quarantine when I can’t interact with my colleagues like normal.

Day 6 // Why did you decide to do this challenge and what is your goal?

I decided to do this challenge because I wanted to be more active in the community! I always lurk on challenge tags so I figured this time I should give it a go myself lol. My goal is really just to get to know some of you guys and get in the habit of more consistent posting.

Day 7 // What is your goal for your studyblr for the next few months?

My goal is to start posting more of my own content now that I have a furnished apartment. I want to be able to share more of my work with you guys!

Day 8 // What is the best thing about studyblr in your opinion?

The best thing about studyblr is the feeling like you aren’t in this alone. It made me very anxious to go after a graduate degree in a state where I knew no one and quarantine hasn’t helped. Being a part of this community reminds me that i’m not alone in my academic struggles!

Day 4 // How long have you had a studyblr?

I had to check my archives but I’ve had this blog since June of 2018. However, I actually took it seriously starting in the summer of 2019! I found one of my old study photos too!

i’ve gotten behind with this challenge with exams coming up unfortunately but i’m back now!

Day 9 // What is the worst thing about studyblr in your opinion?

Definitely the culture of “perfect” blogs; buying a lot of expensive/high end stationary and having the best handwriting with the most aesthetic notes. It makes me feel like I don’t belong sometimes but I think lately people have been fairly vocal about the unimportance of the aesthetics in this community.

Day 10 // What is one thing you wished you could change about studyblr?

I guess tied to the worst thing about studyblr, I wish I could normalize messy notes and desk spaces. Just make things look a bit less staged all the time.

Day 11 // What is something that you have learnt from studyblr?

I’ve learned how to take a break and just breath at times. I am a perfectionist with some pretty bad anxiety so I often push myself way harder than I should. While I definitely think the studyblr community can promote some unhealthier study habits, the posts that talk about being kind to yourself and taking breaks really helped me.

Day 12 // How much time do you spend on studyblr per day on average?

I try and limit my time to about a 1 hour block when I get up and then an additional hour sprinkled throughout the day.
