So my school runs on semesters, with a winter and a summer session. Winter session is 5 weeks, and I’ve been packing three of my gen ed classes into that. 

English didn’t release the full syllabus to prevent working ahead, film did but its difficult to work ahead on discussions, and I ended up finishing econ by working on two separate days so that I didn’t have to buy the textbook! All three classes are 100% online which is also really nice.

ft my bujo cover page for this year

I’m hoping to use my bujo this year more as a general notebook for keeping everything and worrying less about having it be an orderly compilation of spreads and so far this mentality has let me use it a lot more.

No promises on regular content but I am finally adding things again. I think one of the biggest things is I hate adding tags because you can’t copy and past them so maybe I just won’t worry about those for a while. We’ll see how long that last

Bless all of you for not unfollowing me when I don’t post for three month straight holy cow

I’m working on adding content again to this blog I just got really unmotivated and overwhelmed.

update 10.08.18

Hi sorry still dying I even took pictures theyre just not edited and I’m taking more hours at my job esp bc for one job the manager has been out of the country for two weeks and and for the other job I need more money so more hours and so uh yeah general state of affairs is 

- I’ve started ditching non-quiz days in Calc I which sounds bad except that I have 100% in the class and its essentially remedial for me since I’ve taken Calc II

- Physics is kicking my butt, however he is known to curve generously and I do well on the labs so theoretically I just need to get better at tests and I’ll get my A

- compsci is quite enjoyable and has yet to cause me big stress, however I am working ahead to make sure it doesn’t sucker punch me later

- Working on contacting the two schools I’m trying to transfer to see what credits I need. I was able to bring down the amount of units from 87 to 72 with some AP credit stuff so thats been godsend, hopefully I can make sure to eliminate all non required classes too. Going to meet with counselors in person soon.

- my scholarship check came in but they reimbursed me wrong for books so now I have to wait 2 more weeks

tld;dr: college is really not pretty but hey you gotta do what you gotta do to make it out I suppose

hi i promise my blog is alive I just have big deadlines for work and school as the end of the month approaches and fitting "take and edit an aesthetic photo" into my schedule rn is kinda insane I'm sorry I promise there will be more material soon!

ft physics class notes and my attempt to use them to do physics homework aka MasterigPhysics is the bane of my existence and why do you charge me $70 a semester to do my homework Pearson Inc huh?

Hi! This is really late, but the invite to the coding discord doesn’t seem to be working for me. I was wondering if you could put the link again?

Hi! Don’t worry, the discord is wide open for new members and we’d love to have you.

Here’s the infinite link that should work: https://discord.gg/ef697gq(we keep checking that it does but for some reason a few people have trouble)

If that still doesn’t work, here’s a one time link that should do the trick: https://discord.gg/Mf7YGe

ft some physics notes aka the class I suck the most at and am desperately trying not to fail

also I skipped my morning class today bc I was just straight up exhausted and couldn't make it out of bed but its okay because that’s the class I am very confident in so no worries

I’ve partnered up with the amazing @reveliostudies and @safmiute to work on the 100 Days of Productivity challenge. Hopefully I’ll have more consistent content too... its been like a week since I last put a pic? Yikes I’m sorry aaah

Anyways ft. not using my bujo bc I have deadlines through the end of the month and needed a bigger spread to lay out exactly how much time I have to do everything. I’ll probably still make a weekly spread for fun but this is more practical at the moment.

Review notes for my calc quiz! It was short but I got 100% and since its the first grade of the semester that was really important to me.
