This is a story I’ve wanted to post for a while but I never have because it was still happening. Now that it’s a done deal, I’d like to share it with you. 

I’m studying Computer Science and this story is set in my second year. I took on 12 courses, which are a bit too many in Spain’s universities, and things started to turn very, very dark. I was stressed, I couldn’t meet some deadlines - the workload was huge.

Fast forward into January that academic year, I was at an interview with my teacher defending my project for his subject, and he told me that I had failed. I told him I didn’t understand part of the material. His answer was, and I quote, “if you tell me that you don’t understand this part of the subject, you’re also telling me you’re too stupid for this degree”. My final grade was a 3 out of 10.

The next year, I took on 7 courses, one of them being the one I just mentioned. I obviously did my best to get a different teacher, who turned out to be the best teacher I have ever had. I studied and studied and studied. I never stopped studying, especially this particular subject, until I was the one teaching it to my classmates. I did more exercises than anyone else by far, I studied since the very beginning of the year. I was stressed but motivated, I had to prove my worth.

My final grade was 10.12/10. It is the subject that I have most loved throughout my entire academic career.

Taking a small break to plan out the week ahead. When I feel organised I’m less anxious and positive that things will turn out OK :)

Also my birthday is just around the corner! :D

I can’t believe there is only 10 days remaining until I take the LSAT. I have never studied so hard for anything in my entire life! As a cheer me up, I got the Stabilo Boss Highlighters today and I don’t know how I’ve survived my whole life without them.

Hope everyone is having an amazing day! xx

These are my intact stability, differential equations and statics notes. I don’t really design or write neatly but these photos are already one of the best and neat looking notes that I have lol. There’s also a slate/ clapperboard looking notebook which i liked so much. It’s my first time posting about notes but I’ll still be more of a bujo blog.
