hiya! things have been … ok. i actually got news of which building i would be living in next year as a Resident Advisor on campus, and it was the exact building i didn’t want :/ pretty disappointed by that, especially since i’ve had such a bad experience living in said building, but i gotta look at it positively. i can only hope that i get accepted again as an RA my last year here at college, and that they put me in the apartment style building. until then, it’s another year in a building that i dislike :( oh well.

other than that sad news, things have been going well!! i’ve been enjoying my classes immensely, and i’ve been going to a lot of performances/interesting things, which has been a lot of fun ! i’m also enjoying playing a lot, as i think i’m improving, and my mindset about a lot of things has been changing slowly. it’s interesting to notice it in myself, but i think i’m better off for it.

i’ve been trying that app Opal to limit the amount of time i’m on social media, and i think it’s been doing a good job of keeping me off of it! i notice that because it’s locked down, i don’t even bother trying to go on instagram or tiktok. somehow i still end up being on my phone for four hours out of the day, which granted is me having the metronome/tuner on the screen for a lot of it, or doing a lot of google searches, but it’s crazy how that time still adds up. however, i know it’s definitely a more productive time. anywho, that’s been my life lately.

i’ve been studying using “study with me” videos based in japan, and it makes me miss it so much :(((( so ready to go back.

when i was practicing the sky looked so gorgeous. obviously this photo is edited, but honestly the phone camera never does sunsets justice i feel.

i went to the store recently, and i live near an airport, so i caught this cool photo of one about to land.

i thought the laundry room looked neat, and i like to find little moments to capture <3

hope you’re all doing well! take it easy <3

life has been good! this past week felt mostly like school -> homework -> eat -> sleep -> repeat. and sometimes, im ok with that! i don't need excitement every day. i was able to get my junior recital moved to a different day, later in the semester, which is a HUGE relief. i would have felt so stressed if i had to do my recital at the beginning of april. anywho, i've been preparing for that, and am starting to feel good about my pieces. i'm really hoping to use my practice time mindfully, and have productive sessions.

my flute teacher has assigned us to read atomic habits! i know there was a lot of hype about it (still is kind of) so i was excited to read it! she also bought the book for us, so that was a plus. it's really good! there are some good concepts in it, and i like getting up early to read it at starbucks hehe.

this sweater is so cute, and it's the kind of subtle merch that only the real ones would get (ifykyk right?) plus it's just a high quality piece of clothing. also i loved my necklace pairing!

practice room thingsssss, i was working on an excerpt that we had talked about it in studio class. i think it's so beautiful, and i think the way i play it has come a long way! one of the few things i feel i really can play with musicality and expressiveness.

the sky was so pretty, especially with how much rain we've been having, i took so many photos of it lol. clouds have always been my favorite, so it tends to be what i take the most photos of.

hope you're all doing well !! <3

happy march!! february was a good month for me, and i plan to have march be even better :) this week has been good, though dreary in terms of rain and cold. it reminds me of home though, so it's a nice feeling, and i know once the 24/7 sun comes back i'm going to miss this weather. classes are going well, i'm hanging out with my friends regularly, and i feel like i've been staying off my phone way more, which has been really nice, and i think i've been enjoying life more because of it. <3 life is beautiful.

we have this shelf in the music building where people can leave music for others to take, and i think it's really cute that we have a little free music library.

these jeans are my favorite cause i love the cut of them, and the color. they actually used to be my dads, but he gave me a bunch of his old jeans that he doesn't wear anymore. i think that's one of the best ways of living sustainably, and plus, one mans trash is another mans treasure :)

the sky has been so pretty in the evenings due to the rain, and so i take way too many photos of it hehe.

i carry a lot of books around with me and it makes me feel so studious, especially since in past years i usually have only had to carry my ipad and computer. books just make everything feel so much more substantial, i guess? idk how to explain it, i just really like it :D

i hope you're all doing well. take the time to appreciate little things <3

hello hello! summer has been lovely ! i’ve been working a lot as a bartender and it’s been so fun!! when i’m not at work i’m just hanging out at home, practicing, reading, etc. i’ve been really enjoying my time!

my summer class starts next month, and i also leave for school at the end of next month :( i’m a little sad, just cause my summer always feels so short. but i think this semester will be good, so i’m trying to have a positive mindset about it.

i went on a walk with my parents, and our cat decided to follow us for a little! he’s so cute <3

matcha, matcha, and more matcha :)

living up north, the sun stays up for a lot longer, so drives home are so nice

went to dinner out on the docks and watched the float planes take off! it was neat :D

hope everyone is doing well!!

long time no chat :) i hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their year, and are reaching their goals/maintaining their precious goals <3 here’s some updates!

i went to japan this christmas! some friends and i have been planning this trip for two years, waiting for the pandemic to die down, and it finally did! we spent a little over two weeks in tokyo and kyoto, and it was absolutely amazing! these are some photos i took :) i think they turned out very well. overall i think the group of us traveled very well together, and we were able to enjoy each others company throughout the whole time <3

i’m back home for a week before i head to school for training, and so i’ve been resting and trying to make the most of this time with my family. it’s been a rough 2022 for us, and 2023 is starting about the same way, but i know my parents and i will persevere like we have this past year.

i’m preparing for classes and whatnot, and i’m looking forward to this semesters class load, as it is significantly less than last semester. i’m hoping this will allow me time to care for myself, and lead to a more productive and enjoyable semester.

my semester starts the end of january, so expect more academic content coming then, but before that, i’ll mostly be uploading travel photos, and little updates here and there. i fell off the wagon of posting at the end of last year, but now i’m determined to continue posting in this upcoming year.

stay tuned ! 🫶🏼

photos/one video i took in the last 24 hrs !

start of the school semester has been successful! so far liking all my classes and what they’re going to offer to me! i’m excited to learn and to improve on myself!

also took the tragic greek hero quiz and got icarus. don’t know how accurate it is, but icarus is a mood so i’ll take it!

today i was productive and got my laundry done!! that’s always a win for me. also got some more assignments done, and so i think i’m all done in terms of homework??? gotta love that first week light load. right now i’m at the music building ready to get some practice done, and make today as successful as it can be!

also!!! i got a new phone case and i love it and it matches the new airpods case i got and they’re both compostable so that’s a win!! gonna send my old compostable cases back to the company and have them upcycle them into new phone cases!! i love <3

been hanging out with friends! absolutely a blast and going much better compared to last semester!! we’re putting in the effort and i’m so thankful for that <3

hope you’re all doing well! stay hydrated and get some rest :D

i’m back at school! thankful to be surrounded by friends again, and i’m feeling really good about this semester. i’m taking less classes, and will be focusing on myself a lot i think, which i’m looking forward to.

in some sadder news, my grandma passed away a couple days ago. i knew it was coming, and thankfully was able to say goodbye before it happened, but it’s still sad. i think it was good that i wasn’t there, as that would have been not a great start to the year, but knowing i couldn’t be there for my mom was hard. she’s doing a lot better though! taking care of my grandma was hard for her to do, so knowing that there’s a bittersweet weight off her shoulders is a relief to me.

besides from that, i’m doing quite well. school hasn’t started yet, we have a couple more days, but i’m feeling prepared and good about the future to come.

has school started for y’all? how are you feeling about it? let me know <3 stay hydrated 🫶🏼

p.s. i made my new home screen and lock screen, and they were too cute not to share <3 im super proud of them.

welcome <3

[edited 2/25/2023]

welcome to my studyblr ! here i hope to post things that make me happy, as well as motivation for myself and those that are also studying. i also plan to post photos that i take throughout the days, as i like to find beauty in small things <3

i'm a third year double major in music performance and linguistics. this semester i'm taking five classes, which is significantly better than last semester, however i am still working to maintain my grades and improve myself as best i can! i plan to use this blog to post my random thoughts as well as any updates i have with classes. i hope i can be a consistent part of your study days! i think these posts will go under strbrymlkstudies.

i also hope to use this blog as a little bit of a diary/journal for when i have a lot on my mind. i also like to write in an actual journal, but i think it'd be nice to post just little thoughts i have through the day on here. if you want to find these look under strbrymlkthoughts.

anywho, i hope that if you come across here, you stay and follow along on my academic journey! feel free to message me or ask me anything, i'm happy to answer <3

i had a really, really rough week mental-health wise. literally right after i posted last i got some really bad news, and it's been on my mind a lot since then. i was really depressed this week, and i felt awful. im feeling better now, if only because i have a lot more on my mind right now, but ill take it. ive kind of fallen off track because of it though, so im going to work hard to get back on track for myself. this is a reminder that if you're mental health is not doing too hot, that's okay. work on yourself and making sure you're okay and safe, and that's all you really need to do. dont feel like you have to please others when you feel like that, because you really dont. i thankfully have a wonderful support system that really helped me through this week, and im so thankful for them.

anywho, i finally cleaned!!!! it's a miracle but i did it, and lord knows the suite needed it. i get the whole "you feel better in a clean environment" mindset now, i really do. i have a lot of readings to do this weekend, so im gonna get started on those right after i post this.

to do:

chapter 7 conducting

chapter 8 conducting

chapter 7 LING

different chapter 7 LING

chapter 8 LING

sometimes the week just passes in a blur, and this week was one of those weeks. its definitely calmed down in terms of my job fitting in with school, which i'm super thankful for. i feel like in some of my classes im starting to become lazy, which i really don't want to happen, so i need to re-evaluate the effort im putting into my studies. i really like my classes, so i dont want to fall behind.

i did make one rather bad mistake this week, and that is i missed attending a class entirely, purely because i forgot i was taking it. it's online but synchronous, so when i realized i missed it my heart dropped. thankfully after i emailed the professor he said it was no worries, and he hasn't added any new material, so im still on track with the rest of the class. i never want to experience that again though.

something good DID happen though! i was missing a credit for a class i tested out of, and i procrastinated (say 1.5 years) on trying to get that credit to show up in my transcript. i finally found the drive to figure it out, and i was able to get the class waived! what a relief too, that was gonna be hell to figure out.

other then these things life has been mundane, but enjoyable. it's finally cooled down, and so i've been pulling out the fall outfits, which i've been having a lot of fun trying to create.

i have a bit of a list for the weekend, so here it is:

clean the suite

practice on friday and saturday

finish geology module

start & finish critical summary essay

10-07-2022 (museum date !)

today was so nice!! i had a very good flute lesson in which my teacher said that i’ve improved a lot this week with my sound, and she’s really happy!! it made me feel so good getting that validation after a few weeks of struggling. i’m super proud of myself and it’s this kind of thing that pushes me to continue in a healthy way.

i also went on a lil museum date with my friend! we haven’t seen each other all week so this was much needed. the art on display was super neat, i especially liked the sculptures. i thought they were gorgeous and so delicate. i definitely want to go back regularly when they have new exhibits.

also, i got the results back on my linguistics midterm, and i scored the high for the class! i’m super proud of myself for that as well. we had a quite few wins this week!

hope you all are doing well :) stay hydrated and well rested 🤍

11/2/2022

on sunday it was my birthday! i had an absolutely lovely time with my friends, and i couldn't of asked for a better way to celebrate my 21st.

now, the week prior to sunday felt like a hellhole. it was just one anxious thought after another, as i believed i had contracted covid (i hadn't! but i had plenty of reason to believe i had.) instead of trusting myself and my body, i fell into an anxious state for the entire week, resulting in many tears, and guilt ridden thoughts. saturday led to the culmination of all these thoughts, when i finally was able to get my hands on a rapid test (thank you @ spectato) and finally could sag with relief at the negative results. i still don't feel amazing, but i'm just thankful it's not covid.

because of my anxiety ridden state, i didn't get much done over the weekend, and have been trying to keep up this week. by keeping up with just assignments, i have fallen behind in my readings and slide notes, unfortunately. i need to get caught up on these since im going home the weekend after this coming one, and i want to be present the whole time, since i've been itching to go home since september. so, my goals in the next week and a half are:

corelli slides notes

vivaldi slides notes

bach slides notes

english vowels notes

acoustic vowels: tube models notes

more vowels, vowel like articulations notes

prosody notes

voice quality notes

research paper intro outline

its a lot :,) im sure i wont get it all done, but its good to see it all listed out.

i hope youre all doing ok :) if youre having a hard time, i know u can get through it! we got this :D

first day of classes was yesterday! most of my classes fall on mondays and wednesdays, so it was busy, but i had a really good time! i really think i’m going to enjoy my classes this semester, as well as more free time.

today i only have one class, so i’m thankful that i don’t have to be up as early, or have to rush in the mornings. however, today i do have my interview for my RA position! we have to interview every year to see if we can get the job again, so that’s what i’m doing today. i’m not too nervous! but interviews are a little anxiety inducing regardless so we’ll see how it goes.

i think i’m excited for my music history class and my syntax class the most! even though i’m not a huge “discussion in class” person, i think it’s a good skill to work on, and i think it will definitely help me understand the content better. here’s hoping!

here’s my list for today! it may grow larger, as the day progresses:

RA interview (went well i think!)

class! any assignments? (some hw!)

practice! flute and saxophone

auditions team meeting (cancelled!)

floor meeting

musc 111 pre-reading and pre-listening (if posted)

hope you’re all doing well! <3
