Do another study challenge!!!

I’ve actually considered this! But, this blog is so dead. Still, would anyone else be interested in a challenge or updates from me?

If you still follow me on here, I post life updates and similar book and school related stuff at my other blog, @wistfulwisp :)

I’m still quite active on tumblr. Feel free to drop me a line there lovelies I miss all of you!

I haven’t seen you in a while- I hope you’re doing well!

Hey! I actually saw this just now and wanted to say that I am doing well! would you guys be interested in a little life update so I can share how things are going? Lemme know!

The best thing you can do to help someone disabled or chronically ill?

Believe them when they tell you they can't do something.

TW // Mention of alcohol, self-harm I can confidently say I am so far into my healing journey. I have ran miles and miles into the arms of recovery. I have felt the warmth of the early morning sunrise on my scars. Now find simple water more nourishing and satisfying than any elixir I could get my hands on. I was able to go to a Halloween party where excessive amounts of alcohol were present and not yearn for a drop. Some days are harder than others, as they always will be, but man, things actually feel GOOD compared to where I was a year ago, especially even five years ago. Every day I am still trying to be better, though. Each day a little more progress, another step forward. Every ounce counts. I can only wish the same for you. Hang on. ✨

All the steps you take towards recovery are important, even if they are two steps forward and one step back. What matters is that you are moving. What matters is that you are trying. It is not easy, but you should be proud of yourself for your strength, because even when you were tired of being resilient, you still made it. What you had to go through so you could survive was not fair, but that is now in the past.

Focus on your present, on the self-care you can do today to make this day a little nicer and more comfortable for you. Even if they seem like small steps or setbacks, they are still important. Don't think about all the steps you will have to take tomorrow, focus on which steps you can do today without burning yourself out, but making yourself feel a bit better, by listening to your needs, by taking care of yourself, in any way you can manage to.

Study in the morning

Biophysics practical

Anatomy dissection workshop

Rest

More study

I have been procrastinating on turning in my biophysics assignments in favor of more pressing studies. During practicals, I'll write down the results in the school app, so I can go back to it later. Turns out, the app hasn't been saving the data 😩

This has me stressed, so I forgot to take a photo, here's one of my cats and my messy bed.

22/11/2022 - Examen Privado

Hace exactamente 11 días realicé mi examen privado del profesorado en artes plásticas e historia del arte. No logré tomar fotos de ese día, pero me quedaron fotos del trayecto de todo ese recorrido. Fue una verdadera odisea concretar todas las tareas para dar un examen satisfactorio, pero en realidad lo veo como una pequeña victoria, aún hay mucho que deseo recorrer en mi búsqueda de conocimiento.

Day 12 of productivity✨11/22/2022

I haven’t been able to get a ton done the last few days. Saturday I went to a mock ER thing which was super cool, and I learned a ton from the med students. Sunday was a lazy day and I didn’t do anything productive. Yesterday I attended a union meeting for the new job and did some reading for my lit class. Today I finally got some stuff done and got about half way through my research essay, which is due Friday. It’s taking me a lot longer than I expected due to all the footnotes and citations. Also got my moving foreward and getting started assignments done and did a check in discussion. Idk how much I’ll get done tomorrow since I’m attending a friendsgiving but we’ll see.

Dear study (and work) diary, the last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic. Pretty “9-5”. A lot of designing and a lot of user research, a lot of meetings and a lot of people on my back but finally going into a quiet(er) period for the next few days so I’m excited to be able to catch breaks that give me long enough to actually chill or even eat during the work day.

I’m thinking of also sharing my study/work journey on Instagram as well (thelifeofessy) seeing as I spend a lot of time on there but we’ll see.

That’s all for now 👼🏾
