only have 2 days of lectures left this week, then there will be a 5 day break!
this Thursday there was supposed to be a flower themed fair but I think it's going to rain T^T
it has rained today too, and it's very cold these days
I think I have an idea in which order I will take my exams (here we can choose between a few dates set up from June to September) but I'm a bit scared
I started working out again (??) I thought maybe it could help me manage stress lol

I keep seeing the angel number 222
I'm excited about the weekend: I'll help out my bf to clean his apartment and we'll cook together for a few friends that will come over for dinner🩶
I'm trying out a layout for a journal to keep. I know notion can do most of the things I search for, but I miss writing on paper
Also, yesterday I managed to workout for a whole 45 minutes (lol), it's not much maybe but it's definitely better than nothing

my bf moved into his first apartment and it's been.. busy to say the least
the washing machine leaked a lot and there's a lot of work to do but this weekend I'm ready to unleash my germophobe self and clean!! (I actually love cleaning so much)
+ I figured out that if I'm dissociating, usually singing helps me to ground myself a lot
anyway, I kind of figured out in what order I want to take this semester's exams
I have less notes to tidy up, but I have a lot of lectures: hardest class is definitely ochem, but I enjoy it a lot
anyway, I'm so so so tired I need to sleep (it's 10pm here)

today's organic chemistry lecture was HEAVY
I don't really know how to say it in English but we did alcohol dehydration and oxidation reactions (correct me if I didn't get it right) and also we introduced ethers
tonight I'm sleeping in freshly washed pajamas and sheets >>>

How I survived pchem
So, the time has come: you have to take physical chemistry in uni. Hell's favorite, the most terrifying of nightmares, the source of emotional damage for hundreds of science students worldwide... Or so they tell you. There's no denying pchem is no field of flowers, but I managed to pass the numerical part with a 4/5 and the theoretical part with a 5/5, so let me just say - pchem is definitely passable. Here's some of my advice.
Go to class
Seriously. I know all of studyblr always tells you to go to class, but with pchem I mean it more than ever. Don't skip lectures. Go see the way your professor links the concepts and explains the necessary math. Please. It'll save you so much hassle!
Abuse office hours
And don't hesitate to ask questions in class. Lab partner and I would stay after lectures to ask our professor extra questions or go see him in his office several times during the semester and it always paid off. They won't be mad! They're here for you! Chances are, they'll be happy a student is invested in their subject.
Be consistent
I cannot stress this enough: consistency is everything. Do not leave studying for a test/exam until the last minute. If you can cram pchem at all, that's impressive. But I don't think you can cram it well. Go over your lecture notes the same day - with a textbook, so that you can fill in the gaps in your understanding of the given topic - it does wonders for comprehension and retention.
Do practice problems
And if you get mandatory exercise sets you need to complete for class, try to do more than that. Looking at somebody's solution and thinking "yeah I see what's going on here" isn't enough. If you aren't able to solve similar exercises by yourself, from scratch, you don't actually understand the topic.
Make friends with a good textbook
Ideally, your professor should be the one to recommend textbooks and exercise books. If they don't, ask! Personally, aside from some Polish textbooks, I read Atkins religiously. The textbook is great. The exercise book is a lifesaver - the answer key has complete, step-by-step solutions *cries in joy*
Understand the material thoroughly
Don't just skim through the chapters - see how every new concept is "stacked" on top of the previous ones and how it complements them (why do we need the second law of thermodynamics? Why is the first one not enough? Why is entropy defined as heat over temperature and not work over temperature if both heat and work are a way to transfer energy?). Similarly, don't just memorize formulas!! See where they come from. Derive them yourself, identify the steps that are unclear and try to understand what happens there.
Less fear, more curiosity
All right, pchem is hard, pchem is demanding, sure. But pchem is also fun. Pchem is fascinating, pchem is beautiful! The intersection of sciences! The chemistry you're already familiar with translated into the universal language of mathematics! Nature explained at a molecular level! Look. Everybody told me pchem would traumatize me, so I decided to prove them all wrong. I tried to approach it with as much enthusiasm as I could and it worked! Yes, I absolutely had to work my butt off in this class, but I enjoyed it! Please, try to do the same.

Professor Derricotte (yt)

The chemistry library - physical and theoretical chemistry
Have fun and good luck!! 🍀💖

(my classroom for today)
didn't post for a few days, I'm not doing much tbh
I have more schematic subjects this semester so I have less notes to tidy up at the end of the day! I need to do many exercises though and I can't let myself overlook anything
the positive thing is, I have a thirst for knowledge and I'll do problems until I get them and I'll note things I got wrong and why and I love this feeling so much
it's weird thinking that what I'm experiencing is one of the highest levels of education out there????

I'm on a little vacation with my friends! I tend to isolate myself but I'm enjoying this time and I'm resting a bit
I'm trying to work on a Notion page (I tried Notion before but I always quit bc I get frustrated lol)
it's also been raining these days so we're spending time at home (and it's a really sweet house, it's tiny and it's so cute (I love tiny houses))
one of my friends has brought an old digital camera and it's making me want to start using again the one I have at my house (it's like an old small canon I think??)

Notion page ideas !!
For my girlies that have no idea in what to put in their notion, this is 4 u !!!!
Weekly planner
This is so convenient for anyone who doesn’t like repetitive routines!! Basically what i do is that I assign a theme to each day of the week, then add tasks that play into that theme. E.g Mindfulness monday, healthy tuesday, educational wednesday, spiritual thursday, rejuvenating friday, productive saturday and resetting sunday are mine <3
Weekly journal
Keeping track of the weeks in the year and how you feel about them is just so tiring on paper, so i decided to put them on notion instead. BEST IDEA EVER!!! Basically I just journal about my past week and what i except for next week. Heres the template I created that I use for my weekly journals !
Rate the week
Reflect (brain dump)
What didn’t go to plan?
How do you feel this week?
What good came out of this week?
What was I grateful for this week?
Write down next week’s plan
How can I improve myself next week?
How do I want to feel next week?
A mini library!!
This is literally so cute I'm telling you, especially if you love reading or want to become a more active reader. Basically, you keep a record of the books you read, how long you took to read them, review them and keep track of the books you want to read !!
Music library
Omfg this literally changed my life. Instead of just liking songs and following artists on spotify, I know keep tracks of my faves songs and artists. Now it’s literally so easy creating playlists that play into a specific mood + its just fun keeping track
A wish&need list
For my girlies that love to spend and shop !! Keep track of things that you need currently and things that you want to buy when you can. It’s so fun and convenient when you do actually go shopping.
Pt 2????

I've been kind of dissociating all day but at least I managed to draw something good!!! (I haven't drawn in months). I realised I need to find more balance and work on my hobbies and relearn how to not think about school all the time
I'm really scared about the future. I bet we all are
just hope it'll work out somehow

pic from ikea trip a few weeks ago
today was sooo stressful, my head was just on another planet and I felt so behind everyone else
fortunately I found out it's nothing that singing my heart out in the car can't cure
I know panicking is part of my process, but I need to think more thoroughly about what actually helps me to understand concepts and what I'm lacking in
like, rewriting the first lessons of a course just to have pretty notes won't help you much if you already understood the basic concepts honey <3
I also want to reduce my screen time a bit(??)
things I've done today
lectures: 6hrs
plant biology notes
physics notes

today I officially had my first lesson with every professor for this semester: some are really good, others could be better but that's okay (I hope)
I have to figure out how to take notes for every subject, I need to write fast (so keyboard it is) but I also need to switch to make diagrams???
also, these are the subjects I have this semester
plant biology
physics
analytical chemistry
organic chemistry
physical chemistry

sorry I didn't update this blog, I was cramming for my dear life, but I got a 30\30 in my anatomy exam yesterday!!
today I spent the whole day playing Minecraft, as one does
the pic you see is from yesterday after my exam, I went to Sephora to look around, I'd really like to find a perfume
sooo I won't have to study again until lessons start again on Monday, so I'll rest until then, as my professors haven't put any material up yet

didn't post for a few days because I:
didn't have anything worth writing about apart from studying
didn't take any pictures apart from this one bc, again, nothing interesting had happened
felt like shit for a few days due to my mental health
anyway, I'm finishing the nervous system right now and it's very overwhelming to be honest
I also can't believe I have my exam in 10 days, I don't feel prepared at all (I lack so much confidence)
I kinda can't wait to start classes again, even if next semester is going to be even harder than this one
I really hope I'll pass this exam, I just want to rest for a few days and reflect on what I can improve with my studying
