49 days until finals

Today I:

Went to school

Wrote a Polish literature test

Got 5+ from a math exam (96-97%)

Solved some chemistry questions for tomorrow's test

Finally got my PE dismissal accepted

Another day and I just want to sleep. I didn't realize yesterday was the 50th day... Maybe I just need to rest a little before going back to study again, hopefully with more energy and motivation.

a couple of pics from the last weeks :) honestly uni is kinda exhausting rn. i've been working on my ba thesis every single day since the beginning of the year and while i do make progress and i don't doubt that i'll pass, i really need a break. and i could take a break! if it weren't for the horrors (overwhelming perfectionism). well, at least my topic is fun 👍🏼

100 Days of Productivity (5/100)

I went to a coffee shop near my workplace to study before my shift. I practiced das Präsens and vocab, but I'm struggling with some grammar. I haven't yet reached that part of the course, so I hope it clears up a bit when I do.

Highlighting Information in Textbooks.

Highligthing is always a key part of studying, it help us finding the important informantion faster and easier. But it is a doble-edge sword. If done right, it's amazing. If done wrong, it just makes studying more complicate and make us miss important informantion

How NOT to do it

Highlight entire paragraphs

Higlight with one colour

Highlight only the answers of practise tests questions

How to do it

Have different colours to higlight different things (for example, I use orange for key words, thick lines of yellow for key word's definitions/primary ideas, and thin lines of yellow for secondary ideas and examples)

Dont highlight unnesary words. The important information will stand out without filler words. Example: instead of "Rome was built on 753 BC" hightlight "Rome was built on 753 BC" Now, the key information (Rome/built/753BC) stands out in the sentence. Also, having the sentences reduced to key words without connection forces you to create those conections in your head and can help to get better in redaction of texts.

Highlight the information necessary to understand the topic, not what sentences you need to memorize (understanding is ten times better than memorizing)

How do you highlight?

112 Days of Uni [1/112]

🌒18/03/24🌖

Decided to do a take on the 100 dop challenge except with my uni semester. It's 16 weeks, 7 days, some days will be slow, others will be chaotic but if I am forced to finish this major I may as well have fun posting about it. This semester I'm taking two courses and a total of 12 hours a week however pre thesis is a really demanding course that has a big work load in between classes

First day was syllabus day, since Im retaking this damned class I already know most of the things and have most of the work done. I kind of feel like looking into transferring universities and majors to one abroad but really would need a job to pay for bills, etc. so that's out of the question for now.

wednesday | march 6

finals countdown: 4 days

today was the last day of covering new material before finals! i've finished all of my "normal" homework for the term, so now it's just a few more days of intense studying and then i'm done. in some ways this is my favorite part of the term - i get to study in my own way, on my own schedule, and then show off all the things i've learned at the end of it.

March 11, 2024 - Monday | Ramadan Challenge 1/30

Today was the last day to submit the tests for my Islamic classes so I listened to 5 hours worth of lectures at 1.75 speed to catch up and take the tests 😅 my Ramadan goals this year are pretty chill, I’m not trying to overachieve, just trying to be better than my usual baseline.

a habit to build: praying sunnahs, a habit to break: delaying salah, accomplishment I hope to gain: finish reading / annotating at least (2) of my Islamic books 📚

let’s go to study date!!
