Crawling out of My Hole

TW: pregnancy, miscarriage So much for posting more regularly. Since I last wrote I have:

1. Passed my ASL class with an A

2. had a miscarriage, spent 7 hours in the hospital in the WORST pain of my life

3. Broke up with my partner because he abandoned me during the previously mentioned event.

4. Pulled the trigger on moving from San Francisco to New Orleans. I've lived in California my whole life so this is a big change

I'm busy as hell preparing for my move which is next month, so we'll see how frequently I post.

Back to School Plan Fall ‘21

I’m starting back for my Spring Semester tomorrow, and this is my organized academic plan for myself. I’m creating it here since I’m always on tumblr so hopefully I’ll see it regularly, and I’d like to think these ideas will help someone else as well!

Studying Tips:

Pomodoro method~1 hour of studying for a 20 minute break

Study at your desk because you already associate it with work (DO NOT STUDY IN THE LIVING ROOM)

Study snacks: nuts, cliff bars, chips, snack mix.

Have a few prepackaged snacks in desk drawer

When going in to study, always take a glass of water.

Use your planner! 

Stick to your study schedule

Don’t study in the dark, turn on the light!

Use electronic tablet, then color coordinate uploaded online notes

Make your study guides “for someone else”

Don’t make flashcards for terms and concepts you already know

Stop studying after a few sections for a recall check

Color code everything!

Have a friend quiz you

Don’t just memorize words-understand them

Write notes in your own words

Wear cozy clothes to study

Daily to-do’s will be your friend

Self Care:

Use your sticker chart to stay motivated

Keeping your room clean will help you stay motivated and lower stress

Spend the last 30 minutes of your day without electronics

Have social time (even if it’s your roommates) for at least 20 minutes 5 days a week

Eat at least two balanced meals per day

Take your meds and vitamins every day

Sunday Rest:

Extended morning stretch time

Get out of the house

Read

Meditate

Workbooks

 Evenings:

Make tea

Meditate

Read

Write out personal/professional goals for the week (non-academic)

Make list of personal/professional projects for the week (non-academic)

write tasks for each project

decide what days for each

when i say that life in the lockdown feels surreal it’s mostly because i’m stuck in this living room

what does your thought process look like? mine is just a bunch of tangled up mind junk that i try to put down simply into words 😅 i don’t have much of a system when i write them down on paper — i just feel it’s quite a lot of work! i like to let my thoughts flow freely and cathartically, and i normally feel so much better doing so 🤍 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_EqPSjvW9/?utm_medium=tumblr

took a really long walk right after rain through the oldest and tiniest alleys and streets in the town; old colorful houses, some of them looking very abandoned with nothing but a cat sitting inside and looking down on you. everything smelled like roses, cobblestone streets, wet soil, like salty sea which we walked by and sweet moments of childhood. 🏛🧦☕️

Good morning, I’m wishing everyone a productive day today. This week I’ve really focused on setting goals and accomplishing them and it’s going well so far. I’m feeling very balanced and content.

I’d take personalised over perfection any day.

Folded pages of a book and broken spines. Annotating books instead of keeping them pristine.

Shoes with scuffs and faded colour.

Stretched old jumpers.

Hand painted gifts that would never make it into a gallery but they are so personal that you love it anyway.

Handmade cards

Handpicked wild flowers with colours that don’t match

Knitted blankets

Ceilings painted with patterns and scenes

A fridge covered in mountains of old pictures and notes to one another

An Introduction-Summer Studying Challenge

I have been busy as hell for the last week, so I’ve forgotten about this challenge. I suppose I can begin with prompt one, and what my plans are/have been for the summer:

1. This summer I’ve been taking a six week accelerated ASL course, I started therapy today in the city, and I’m going to start working again at the beginning of August. I’m also involved in some ongoing social justice work for a community that I’m a part of, which currently involves weekly meetings and additional work outside of that (I have to be vague currently as a lot of our work is confidential, and we have not gone public with the details outside of the community)

2. My number one goal for this summer is to pass my ASL class. I did not do well last semester and this class determines the future of my financial aid. I also want to get rid of a lot of my JUNK. My room is too cluttered. 

3. My class and the work I’m doing in my hobby community are keeping me pretty busy this summer, on top of other life things.

4. The most important task I need to complete is passing this ASL class. 

5. I don’t have a lot of plans this summer, but I’m going to be spending lots of time with my partner, and with the new kitten my roommate found. Peep him here: 

6. I don’t have any “regular” summer plans. I’m always doing something different.. This year I housesat in New Orleans, which was AMAZING. I ate lots of good food, made new friends, and saw lots of incredible things. 

7. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time outside, and a lot of time swimming. I love the water but have had less time to spend in it as I have gotten older. 

Now that I've broken the seal, I'll try to post more regularly.

June 29, 2021

Preparing for the Comparative Literature exam by reading a lot of essays, drinking chai milk (with a teabag that was probably already over steeped), and trying out the lovely lemon biscuits I baked yesterday. Such a lovely day.

It’s here y’all!!! The 2021 Summer Studying Challenge! 

I’ve literally been planning on doing this since my last summer challenge so i’m so happy to finally have it out in the world and i can’t wait to see what everyone posts and discover some amazing new studyblrs! i am genuinely so excited to get back to posting consistently and finally having the time to engage with you all after my exams so please get involved and give it ago! 

so without further ado, here’s all you need to know:

✨Info ✨

If you do the challenge, use the tag #summer studying challenge so i (and others) can see your posts

I will try to reblog as many posts in the tag as possible (and it doesn’t matter if you think they aren’t ‘aesthetic’ cause i will reblog them!)

This challenge will run for two months - from the 1st July to the 31st August

There are daily prompts for every day of July and August
