3/7 days of productivity

Today we went through a pretty gross practical where we had to put some maggots through a maze and see if they would turn left or right - riveting I know.  After various classes where I was semi-productive, I came home and did that work on epigenetics.

I did end up speaking to my teacher - and what she said my not be what I wanted to hear, but I think her opinion does have value and I should probably consider it...

Tomorrow I need to write my biology essay and finish the psychology one. I also need to see my teacher about writing up my practical  - since I will not be around during the deadline so I need to hand it in early.

Introduction!

heya! this is my first studyblr, and first blog where i didnt just reblog stuff! So heres me. ive had studygrams in the past, but im not a huge fan of insta

About me

My name is Kat, I’m 18 (almost 19) and I’m from the UK

I am nonbinary, asexual and queer, I use they/them pronouns

I am a capricorn sun, gemini moon and cancer rising

I am a ravenclaw!

Interests

Recently I’ve been interested in learning japanese

Horse riding! too expensive to do often!

poetry! im very bad at it!

I want to start learning ukulele again

drawing! been doing digital art especially for a while, sort of want to get back into watercolour

I also love tabletop rpgs, L5R and fantasy age are some fun ones! Im wanting to start learning how to GM

Academics

I am studying A-Levels in Biology, psychology and photography, I am in my last year.

I have an A-level in Russian

I am applying to do Marine Biology at undergraduate level

I really enjoy studying biology! even though it is my hardest subject.

i have developed a dislike for psychology although that may be down to curriculum and teaching

i have no interest in photography, its a complicated situation but at the time i had little other options

Why start a studyblr?

I’ve been passively in the studyblr community for like two years now and i think i would really enjoy actively being in it

Studying has been an issue for me in the past, and though I’ve gotten better I would like to use this as a way to reflect and continuiously check in with myself

tbh the study community is probably something that can be credited for my getting better! i think this is one of the healthiest communities ive come across!

yall seem really cool, id love some study friends!

this last year is going to be really tough, id like a reminder that hard work does pay off!

What will you post?

itll probably be a mixture of stuff i like, but mostly study updates, maybe some bujo if i get back into it

ill update on any more progress i make in learning japanese

the majority of this will probably biology notes! theyre usually p messy lol

i would like to start the 100 days of productivity once im feeling a little bit better! I’ll probably start small first

this ended up being really long! basically im excited to start this and i hope i keep it up,, i look forward to meeting some people too!

i was not kidding when i said my notes are a mess.

i spent this morning working on revising some of the stuff i lost easy marks on in my test - the mechanism of breathing being one of them

i also got my first university offer today! i feel a lot more secure in my future, although im still worried that the uni im particularly eager to hear from will reject me

4/7 days of productivity

Today felt particularly stressful and difficult. Getting up was difficult, and pairing that with a breakfast of 200mg of caffeine and some toffee popcorn....yeah its not surprising that today was difficult.

I had a lot of work to do and anxiety just made me procrastinate on a lot of it. I still got some done! Like my psych essay and some exam questions and my practical write up - but im going to be really scrambling for time to do everything else tomorrow

Im determined to finish the 7 days! I almost skipped out on writing it today but I did it! Beleaf in urself 🍃

2/7 days of productivity

I was so much more tired waking up after 6 hours of sleep than 2, which i found odd

After caffeine I was alright, my psychology lesson did not go great though - my teacher tried to tell me I’m going to fail, which im not

Anyway, today I:

- Redid my psychology homework because I did it pretty poorly first time

- wrote up notes on Duck’s stages of relationship breakdown

- taught my friend about stem cell differentiation

- finished up my essay on maggots and how to euthanise them

- helped my friend with their Art coursework

-played some spyro :)

Tomorrow I-

-will ask my teacher the list of questions i NEED to ask

-will complete the essay on psychological treatments of schizophrenia

-will pick a biology essay question and start planning

-will look over epigenetics before my first lesson on it

-will finish planning Friday’s dnd session
