how I use xTiles to help me study
For the past few weeks, I've been using a new app to help me study and I think it's been really useful! I used to use Notion as an online dashboard, but trying to make an effective template would overwhelm me. This app is similar, but simpler. This is my current setup:
pomodoro timer: I love the flocus app, and they've made a widget that you can embed directly onto xTiles! I switch it between home mode and focus mode when I'm working on my studies
stopwatch: this is another embedded site, and I use this one to time my activities. It's simple and does exactly what it needs to: start, pause, clear. This way I can track the individual actions to log into lingotrack
youtube video: I love to study to video game music, so I've picked one that I like and I can play the video directly from my dashboard. I switch this out as needed
dailies links: I've linked all of the sites that I use daily for studying: wanikani for vocab and kanji, bunpro for grammar, this blog for study logs, lingotrack for time tracking, and natively for tracking immersion progress (although lingotrack has a feature for this as well, so I may switch to that)
fun pictures: just for the good vibes :)

With the hbomberguy plagiarism video on fire right now I want to share my favorite example of egregious plagiarism.
I’m a marine biologist. Currently getting my PhD. I’ve done a lot of scholarly writing. Many classes I took as an undergraduate had big writing components. I took limnology at one point as an elective. This course had one such big writing assignment.
The professor told us a story. He said he once got a student paper that absolutely blew him away. It was way beyond what he’d expected from the class. This was before we had online tools to check for plagiarism. The paper impressed him so much that he brought it home to show it to his wife. She began reading it and then set it down, looked at him, and said, “Dan, you wrote this.”
This student was dumb enough to not only copy a published paper verbatim, but to copy a paper published by the professor of the class.
AND HE NEARLY GOT AWAY WITH IT.

The quickest way to clock an engineer in the physics department is when they start to make fun of “useless knowledge”. Like GTFO here circuit boy some of us have a drop of curiosity in our hearts and we don’t need you little shits skulking around, stealing our ideas to make money.

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.
