[museeofmoon]

Thurs,1st feb | Feburay started with thunderstorms for me, and im not complaining. It feels so weird to make a post after more than a year. i have completely forgotten my ways, regardless im more than happy to be back on here!

Day 1 of 30nym: What are your main goals for this challenge?

I struggle with having the discipline i want so i hope this could somehow peer pressure me into pushing a bit more? Also i wanted to make a comeback on here lol

commonplace updates + learning again and again that nothing motivates me to focus on studying as taking my time in the morning to slow down and do the things, the superfluous unproductive things, that i find joy in 🌱

🎀 My That Girl Exam Success Checklist 💯

it's the day of (or before) your exam!! a gazillion thoughts may be running through your mind: should i review all my notes and flashcards one more time?? set my alarm super early to be sure to make it on time or set it super late so that i get as much sleep as possible?? let's prepare everything step by step calmly and together ☺️

The Night Before

pack your bag with everything you need — school ID, pens/pencils, erasers, rulers, calculators, extras of everything!!, brain food like nuts/chocolate, lunch, full water bottle, etc.

pick out a cute but comfy outfit — the goal is to feel as confident and laser-focused as possible!

don't skimp on your night routine — cramming does not take priority over a good night's sleep before an important day, so take care of your mind and body and trust them to take care of you too

skim the highlights/summaries/key flashcards just before bed — when you sleep, your mind is not idle! it's reorganizing and filing everything away neatly to be retrieved when you wake up, so do yourself a favor and take advantage of your mind's natural abilities!

double check your alarm — but more important than this is to go to sleep at a reasonable time that you can expect yourself to feel well-rested by the time you need to wake up, so whether you need 7, 8, 10 or more hours of sleep, go get it!! right now!! come back to this post in the morning to complete the rest of the checklist~

The Morning Of

eat breakfast(!!) — you can't think on an empty stomach!!

take your vitamins

drink water

stretch!! — get your blood flowing where it needs to go and get your energy levels up!! 💪

if you can, try not to consume anything else outside of your review materials before the exam that might confuse or preoccupy you! — sometimes it's unavoidable if it's part of your job or your other courses, so just take a quiet moment to bring your mind back to the material from time to time if necessary!

get to your exam location as early as possible you can chill and review~ (same idea as the night before, summaries, highlights, flashcards, don't get too bogged down by the details and confuse yourself at this point!)

Exam Time

arrange your desk neatly and comfortably so you can focus and find everything you need when you need it

deep breaths

one question at a time

even if it seems like you don't know or remember anything, the information will come back to you when you need it

you got this!

i believe in you 💕

day 11-15 // 30doi

🌲 study stats (50/10):

d13: 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

bored with the ✅ so now i get a 🌱 if i complete it or at least make decent progress on it:

catch up on phar 🌱

understand phil asst instructions 🌱

review everything for psyc quiz 🌱

finish + send phar report 🌱

psyc quiz 🌱

exercise 🌱 (not originally on the list bc i forget about it in busy times but i'm 99% sure a lack of it is contributing to my insomnia)

🧘🏻‍♀️ my best life is lived in this world, not some other one i imagine. in this best life, i am learning how to be independent and self-sufficient as an aspiring bioinformatician working towards my BSc in life sciences. a worthy work in progress, even if the road is messy. i may be single and sooo not ready to mingle (somehow this is a salient thought recently...perhaps it's because it's february), but whatever i go through, i don't go through it alone, even if it may feel like it.

☕️ I brewed myself a cup of coffee and it tastes amazing - smooth, balanced, with a hint of chocolate. I’m annotating this passage from Letters From A Stoic, which I’ll be transferring to my Obsidian! I love how it allows me to link related notes and quotes. It’s quite helpful in looking back at previous notes + helps me get a bigger picture of a topic etc.

Not much tasks for today so I might just read (currently: Enchantment of Ravens), and probably watch Harry Potter. I’m kind of sad that my holiday break is almost over. But I feel like if it goes on, I’ll be bored to death!

51/100

Back in the library! I could not focus or stay awake while trying to study for my developmental psych exam tomorrow. So I called it quits after about an hour and decided I’d go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow. But we’ll see if that actually happens haha.

It’s officially cold. Last week we had highs of 85°F/29°C and now it’s 33°F/0°C and that’s just too drastically different. To the library tonight I wore sweat pants over my leggings as well as a tee shirt, a sweat shirt, and a jacket. If I had a hat I’d put that on too but alas. At least I’ll get to wear a sweater tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone this upcoming week :)

my gap year in photos

hi there! long time no see. it’s been well over a year since i graduated from uni, almost two years that i’ve been with my job since i was a wee intern, and this time a year ago, i told myself i would have applied to law school.

here i am a year later to report i didn’t manage to apply to law school.

the last year and a half has been a series of huge up and downs with the LSAT and writing a personal and diversity statement, on top of working full-time from home, being an involved family member, volunteering, and completing a two-year fellowship.

i did poorly on the LSAT, got pretty sick (a few times), and burnt myself to the point where i had to pause on this lifetime goal and focus on what is most important: myself (and my health).

if i could do this again, i wish that i took a WHOLE year to do nothing (just working) and one year to study for the LSAT.

and that’s exactly what i plan to do. take rest from law school applications, get healthy, re-make my game plan, and come back next fall better than ever to be the best and strongest applicant i can be.

which is why i’ll be back on studyblr regularly to post my progress, hold myself accountable, and get some motivation to get to the finish line. this community was the reason i got through senior year in high school, again in uni, and when i was job hunting.

i feel like being on here again willl be so worthwhile as i see myself in this next year of growth and development. consider this my (re)debut back to the commmunity!

virtual journal, 27/10

i’ve been consuming an increasing amount of tea, wearing cardigans and waking up to the sound of rain, which is to say: i’m experiencing autumn in seville and my heart is full 🌾

sometimes the realization of time passing gets overwhelming; usually in the meditation of a long-held yoga pose, when the nostalgia steadily hits and outside the sun is setting and i want to capture it all (the view, the sound of slow breathing, the longing for familiar touch)

💪 that girl diaries // what doesn't kill you makes you tired 🙃

난 피곤해 와 답답해 하지만 이유는 진짜 몰라요. 내 에너지 그냥 갑자기 없어 그리고 한 것 안 싶어요. 난 계속 생각해, "그냥 시작해야" 근데 오늘 난 이미 다시 많이 여러 번 시작해. (i'm tired and frustrated, but i don't really know why. my energy has just run out and i don't want to do anything. i kept thinking "i just need to start," but i've restarted so many times already today.)

🥰🥰🥰 physiotherapy exercises + warmup + running — i was supposed to do arms and abs today but i've eaten more than usual as one does on days off, so i feel like i need to do cardio 😅

🦋 social hour

📚 read a chapter of Sophie's World

❤️ meditation but it's just laundry and stay by hoshi

✏️ sketching!! (human proportions are so hard and for what 🥴)

❤️ started Year Compass: The Year Ahead section (i already have my new year's resolutions, so i don't know why it's so hard for me to articulate the goals i want to commit to)

📝📝📝 Japanese, Korean, Chinese, lessons

❤️ some spring cleaning + healing poetry reading

🎧🎧 how to keep learning Chinese at an intermediate level + Chinese vlog

💌: 明天会更好。我做了很多的东西因为我想我会觉得更好，但是如果我很高兴，我也想做很多的东西。还是也许我可以只是做够了，对不对？ (tomorrow will be better. i did a lot of things because i think i will feel better, but if i'm happy, i also want to do many things. or maybe i can just do enough, right?)

bonus: ty @winryrockbellwannabe for the tag 😘

i find it so funny that my quiz results say i die and everyone saw it coming BUT WELL SHIT I SURE DIDN'T 😂

also this is possibly the realest picrew i've ever done, like this is legit how i look sitting at my desk "working" 😅

tagging some new moots for a fun break! ❤️ @panda-studiesmed @ilonar0 @perabera @roxysbbg @mortuarymorticia
