How did Dan even manage to keep his Asda job? that 09/10 calendar every other week he is out of town or away on holiday it’s wild I always knew they traveled to see each other but 3h+ each way (on public transport) is intense

love wins! dan got fired in november 2009 and didn't bother getting another job so he was free to galavant with his internet crush during his gap year <3

*grabs you by the scruff of your neck* CHILD. LISTEN. All nighters won’t help you. To study more efficiently you GOTTA sleep. Hell, naps will probably work to an extent. But your brain needs rest and NO looking at your little digital critters doesn’t count as REST… that’s just a much needed rest.

I am having so much fun!!! I have been able to work with things that I've learned about, but never got to use (Gel electrophoresis/Western Blot). I feel a lot less anxious about life/everything in general. It's so mind-boggling because this is the feeling that I've been chasing since I was a teen. Just somewhere that feels right? Somewhere where I don't feel ashamed or judged. I know I'm only going to be here for the summer, but I am so grateful for this experience.

Stealing @/bloodlessheirbyjacques's idea, for the rest of February I'll try writing 500 words a day. I was supposed to finish the TWATB spin-off novella by December (💀), but life got in the middle and currently I'm still on chapter 5 of 16. Now I have no more excuses to pick writing back up! This challenge should put me on track to finish the novella by the end of March, so I can finally move on with other projects.

Am I crazy to say that Sapphire and Amethyst look like a married couple and Sapphire is pregnant?(i know she's chubby(a baby:])

I was going for chubby(though that's on me if didn't convey it better). It did cross my mind with how people ship the apprentices what the guardians' love lives would look like. It's kind of fun to imagine them as like adults with lives and families and stuff alongside of ruling fairytopia. +Kid design, she would've already been around by MoTR but didn't come with them to the crystal palace for obvious reasons

yall ever get so stressed that you stay up a bit to late, have a dream that you've cheated on your partner and also seen them die, have to deal with clients at work and making an error, have three presentations due, and then wonder why your eye is twitching?

Ngl youtube videos suddenly got me slowly turning into a Justin Russo hater.

you should kill yourself if you spend 12 minutes sorting around your notes on your desk, making sure they look messy but also the prettiest ones are on top, posing your textbook open and having the most "academia" looking web page or lecture slides on your laptop screen before taking a picture and posting it on your social media story while quietly scrolling through songs to put with it.

Meet the artist/writer thing I guess. Lambsona? Nah. Goatsona.

Also feels a bit weird seeing bluejeans in a cotl-esque setting but eyy fuck it we ball <3

Also, I have a bluesky! same name- JustaWrites. Will I be active? no idea yet!

[zwiebelii]

Hhhnnnggggghghhhh boss told me they're not renewing my contract at work

[lixenn]

As soon as I'm home for more than two days I get chores shoved on me. Because of course I do... It's not like my brother is incapable of doing his own laundry...

*sigh*

*puts on epic boss fight music*

Spent a half hour typing a speech about studying in the tags of a post 👍 I'm a normal person who's had a normal time in the academic system

i plan to use this blog to document the things i do throughout the week, particularly with college but also life in general. i hope others that work while studying full time can relate to some of the things i deal with, and for those who are going into college and worried about having to work i hope you know that it IS possible! i don't bite, so feel free to reach out!

My (ADHD) focus/organization strats

Here's some stuff that I've found works, and is working for me this semester! I want to go back and make cute graphics for this but. We'll see.

Doing a reading: Going for less visual clutter (tip: throw everything in a box, a pile behind you, or tucked behind your computer so you can't see it). Just need:

Computer to keep pomodoro timers and use with...

...Overear headphones to (1) block out distractions and (2) give me enough stimulus to stay present. My fav is white noise + the lofi study stream (nothing else fits my brain's requirements of no voices, round not sharp sounds, minor or no fading/switching side-to-side)

Critically, mini notepad for distracting thoughts. Anything that's not the reading (cool websites, chores, people to text, games to try...), write it down, deal with it when you're done. By which point it will probably not feel as important lol

A notebook if the reading is digital, or the reading + stickynotes if it's physical (bc I take notes like this but without the rewriting part usually)

Taking notes: Going for faster & easier writing, reviewing, & remembering

Color code classes and use that color in my headings, boxes (if we watch a video, i'll box my bullets on the video so I can differentiate from the lecture content), and...

...Pictures/diagrams, esp during lecture for Speed. Easier to look at and easier to remember than words.

Color code annotations (underlines/highlights in my notes, or the sticky note colors). I use big point, subpoint, new term / names / etc stuff I'll probably be tested on, and my thoughts/stuff i like

Annotate everything. Add your emotions, reactions, connections, examples, questions, ideas. I give these their own color. They go good in margins. Easier review, better remembering.

Surviving lecture: Thankfully my professors are very engaging this semester but I still use some strats

Fidgets omg. I got over myself and started bringing a fidget spinner and popit to class and it saves my life

Chop up video lectures, this is Prof. Mary Latta's idea she gives us 2-3 shorter video lectures instead of 1 long one. Pomodoro it.

Get involved with people. This is hard and took me years but it's awesome. Complement people and ask questions (stickers they have? their outfit, hair, nails, tattoos? work? major? interest in the class?), because you can (1) get friends/study buddies/people to sit next to, and (2) break the ice to asking for help and getting different perspectives. Hang out a little after/before class, ask for their reactions, examples, ideas. Gush your excitement or confess your confusion to the prof, or overhear someone doing that and jump in if you relate. None of us know 100% what's going on and it feels great to fill the gaps (or validate asking the prof for clarification!)

And important addition, when you get the pomodoro breaks (and before you start), ACTUALLY TAKE A BREAK. Do you need a shower/snack/water. You probably need to stretch. You might even need to move locations or get a different chair or move the light just to shake things up.
