Library after school

Today's quote:

"An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them." -Stephen Fry

February productivity challenge

Day 3: What's your nighttime routine like?

i try to sleep before 1-2 am, wash my face, wrap my hair, get in bed, pop on some asmr then zonk out.

Day 4: What would you describe your study method as?

😅 i cram a lot- is that a study method? But when i study properly i do a combination of these: flashcards, blurting and talking out loud as if i'm teaching the topic to someone else.

I'm back in Brussels after spending most of my winter break in Cologne. I already miss my friends but I am not as sad I expected myself to be. I have lots of deadlines and exams in the next three weeks and I'm a bit stressed but I'm feeling better than before I left for the holidays. Like I am actually able to do this and study. I probably have to pull an all-nighter to finish the essay I'm currently working on but I'm motivated (and that my friends is a miracle). Let's see what I'm capable of after being in a mild depression for the last months.

Academic Tip: Thank Your Professors

This is the time of year (after grades are in, during the semester break) when I send thank you emails to each of the professors that I had a class with.

Whether adjunct, fixed term, or tenured, they work very hard teaching classes, often without a lot of thanks. Sending a short email letting them know that you enjoyed their class can go a long way, and it's a good step to forming a relationship with a possible mentor.

I know that writing emails can be tricky, so here's a basic template to get you started:

Dear Dr. Lastname,

I was in your [insert name of class] this semester, and I wanted to reach out to thank you for this semester and for the effort you put into the class. I really appreciated how you worked to [something you liked about the class], and I really enjoyed learning from you.

All the best,

[Your firstname lastname]
