09/02/2021 The snow is so peaceful so I've moved all of my desk bits to face the window. I had a crazy busy day yesterday but hopefully that makes today easier. I'm missing my boyfriend a lot today, we had the best snow days when we weren't long distance. X Emily

29.12.20 • After what feels like years, I’m finally taking a few days off work! I just spent Christmas with very few members of my family, and I’m now ready to enjoy the holidays. Here are my vacation plans and my learning tracker for the week. Also, I drew those stickers myself and I’m obsessed x

3/30/100 days of productivity ~ a small trace of laziness

i didn’t post this last night because… meh, laziness. it disappeared today, but this feeling invades me a little, a few times every week.

one of my wishes with this 30dop/100dop challenge is to overcome my fear of challenge and failure. one of the topics i struggle the most with, is posting consistently and approaching other people for help. so 2021 is the year for that~

above, you can see a physics problem i enjoyed fully. also, a wide shot of my complex analysis summary notes, for this week. and as a small bonus, my favorite take of yesterday’s sunset! one of my friends helped me with editing it to recover some of the vibrance in the colors.

i’m madly in love with this summer term, even if we are just three days in!

Winter Studying Challenge

15th January: would you rather wear a winter coat in the summer or a swimming costume in the winter? Honestly I would rather a swimming costume in the winter! I hate being too hot in summer! I know I've missed loads of days of these but I've been working so hard it's been dark by the time I remember to take a photo! X Emily

07.01.2021 ✨ Happy snow day ✨ I hope you have a productive day ✨

Happy new year 🎈 I hope this year will treat us kinder than the last and tbh. I hope for an uneventful and boring 2021. The only goal I set for this year is to read at least one book each month, and I started off with “how do we know we’re doing it right” by Pandora Skyes. I like it so far; her thoughts and worries are not new, but at the same time, they’re very thought-provoking. Also, who likes to comment in the margins? For a very long time, I thought writing in a book was something of a taboo because the thought of worshipping a book is quite prevalent but writing down my thoughts and commenting things that I like or don’t like is really fun! Anyways, I wish everyone a wonderful start into the new year ✨✨✨✨

found washi tape at michael’s with cameras on it! perfect for more screenwriting notes. the book is ‘save the cat’ by blake snyder and i can’t recommend it enough.
