Studying is easy with a cat around 🐱

“Books are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“E-books are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“Audiobooks are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“Video games are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

“Subscriptions to magazines/newspapers are too expensive” -> GET A LIBRARY CARD!!!

For real, get a library card for your local public library and you will have almost unlimited access to all kinds of media for free. Libraries also often have many different kinds of classes you can take, often for free or very cheap. Oh, and don’t forget the computers and internet access you can also use for free.

In conclusion, yet a library card.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY!!!

Today's episode: studying SQL (or: It took me 3 hours to finish drinking that coffee because I kept getting distracted)

24.04.2024 // slowly becoming one with this desk. the wires bother me a lot so i've sought advice from a friend on how to organise them better. hopefully, they'll stop looking like such dump. a colleague also donated her french press to the office, which means that i don't have to spend $10 on coffee everyday because frankly, that is utterly absurd and I had, in fact, stopped drinking coffee for a while. but can't do without that caffeine; it keeps me functioning.

3/100 days of productivity

actually got stuff done yesterday!!! was up super late to listen to all 31 tortured poets department songs, but i still got up early ✅ somehow. initial mixed opinions on the album as a whole (songs are too similar sonically & i don't think the production always matched the lyrics/story etc.) but i loved the tumblr 2014 vibe & there’s a few songs that i really like (especially florida!!! so good!!!) so i've been listening all day. still stressed about my summer plans, but hopefully i'll figure that out soon 🫡🫡🫡

things i did today:

researched active offshore wind leases for my thesis

learned about scouring + liquefaction issues

met with my pre-grad advisor

troubleshot my watch & finally re-set it.

duolingoed! just hit the second week in my streak!

my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!

as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.

Important to note that this hurts disabled students the most 🙃

Currently learning Spanish using SpanishDict's lessons and immersion learning by reading Mr. Villains Day Off, watching Bee and Puppycat, and playing Cat Snack Bar all in Spanish

discipline is self care

self care isn't just face masks and bubble baths, it's also doing your assignment in advance so you won't pull an all nighter before the deadline, cooking at home instead of ordering out; discipline is an act of self love and care

Day 4 of 100 Days of Productivity

I hate revising/revisiting a topic. I don't know about anyone else, but I constantly want to be learning something new. Going back to a topic feels so tedious. I'll try to get better at this skill.

I remember when someone on a discord server called archaeology my “special interest” and I didn’t know how to explain, rookie mistake! It’s actually a Master’s degree

12/04 - D-21

in the morning, i went to a workshop all about the science of surgery. it was held at a really big and important university! i had lots of fun with my friend, and learnt quite a bit!

we made a little stop at muji afterwords but i didn’t buy anything ):

i came home and went over some very overdue anki flashcards for bio AND chem. then, i went over some of the new bio flashcards. i finished going over genetics flashcards after so long! now, i just need to do exam questions and keep going over them.

semi-productive but fun day!

p.s the whiteboard doesn’t make sense because i write multiple answers for multiple cards on the same whiteboard.

3 am study session and a qifrey sketch (remember when this used to be an art account? Yeah me neither)

[bunny-ology]

my english prof boasted about being sooooo accessible and accommodating and accepting then handed out a syllabus that included:

- 4 absences = a fail in the class

- 3 tardys = an absence

- if you are more than 10 minutes late to class, you’re absent

- oh also class time starts 5 minutes before class starts

- if you have a written diagnosis for anything that would make you late you NEED to give it to her and it will be put in your file and you need PROOF!!!!! that your disability/sickness/whatever is what’s causing you to be late or absent!!!

- absolutely NO falling asleep in class

- absolutely NO phones or devices of any kind unless you have your own laptop to write on(but she prefers handwritten papers)

- absolutely NO recording of the class of ANY KIND. this includes video and voice recordings

- she goes home to a town an hour away after class ends so you can’t stay after class to finish or ask questions!!!!

- at least once every class there is a mandatory “brain exercise” which includes but is not limited to: walking around the building, running in place, jumping jacks, jumping in place, running down the sidewalk and back etc.

- she said “unless you have a written doctors note for why you can’t do this you MUST participate it will go into your grade as participation points”

- absolutely NO extra credit. there is only credit

- she also doesn’t accept late work at all!!! unless you have a WRITTEN DIAGNOSIS!!!!! and if you have an accommodation through the school. you MUST have both!!!!!

so basically she’s the LEAST accessible person on campus?

and we had to pick one topic to write about this entire semester and i chose disability advocacy and activism and that we can do in the medical world AND educational world to make things accessible to everybody who has any condition

i talked about how hard it is to get a diagnosis for some people(me) even for simple things because doctors and teachers and adults and PEOPLE never believe us to listen to us. then after class i told her i have a cane and chronic fatigue and chronic pain and heart issues etc and the only thing i’m diagnosed with is asthma and a heart murmur and i will not be participating in certain activities and i’m going to the school’s disability program and i WILL be getting accommodations without a single doctors note and if she has an issue then i will be dropping her class.

she said she likes my “fire” (whatever the fuck that means) and i’m the perfect person for her class.

and before y’all type and say “it’s just a college thing” and “welcome to real life”. bitch!! one of my professors noticed how tired i am and that i’ve been late like 6/8 classes and saw my cane and said “i don’t need to know your business, but if you need accommodations for ANYTHING talk to the disability program and they can help you with anything you need. if you need an advocate i will be there for you. school should be ACCESSIBLE”!!!! she’s going with me next week to ask if my professors can not mark me down for any tardiness or absences!!!!

so long story short: what the FUCK.

I figured my little buddy here deserved a bit of a zoom in focus on him before we move on to the final spreads of the month!
