Only two exams left for the master degree. The oral exam is in two days and I lost all motivation. I still have to keep pushing. To comprehend my weakest topic (statistics of mixing processes) better I decided to write a little summary without looking at the lecture slides.

25.7.2022 // i’m finally back from my two week break i spent travelling and enjoying the small joys of city exploration with friends :) a huge thanks to @hannistudies for taking me to She Said (a female and queer author bookstore+coffee shop with impeccable vibes and the best almond orange cake i’ve had in my life)<3

Pride Reading Challenge 🌈

i’m ¼ of the way through the challenge, so i thought i’d post an update. the prompts i’ve filled so far are: • coming out book (a book where coming out is a (relatively) major plot point) • epically queer (a larger than life story featuring queer epic heroes) • yes homo (a queer romance book) • not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you (a book featuring characters with lesser known orientations/gender identities)

[ books i read for each of the prompts and my thoughts below the cut ]

🌈 coming out book: game changer by r. reid i was originally gonna read the magic between by s. hoyt for this prompt, but as it happens, i’ve been stuck on 80% with that one for months (i rly do struggle with magical realism asdbhjq). so instead, i picked this up bc i wanted to read the sequel/companion novel, but a friend told me it’s worth reading this one too and yes. she was right. this was delightful and i found myself laughing out loud, the perfect read for during exam season. 

🌈 epically queer: iron widow by x. j. zhao mx zhao is insane for writing this. that’s all i’m gonna say. godspeed.

🌈 yes homo: people notice the rain by c. paul this was a reread of the 1st book in a series that somehow, impossibly, made me enjoy a werewolf story - and even though this book isn’t as good as the sequels, it’s still a v enjoyable cute ya queer romance with some mystery. i’m just gonna copy/paste the blurb i wrote for this trilogy a couple months back:  A beautiful, smoothly unravelling narrative meets truly atmospheric writing in this story of growth and trust, with the added sprinkle of the supernatural. Fresh and exciting, and most importantly, inclusive in a way that feels as effortless as breathing. Truly worth picking up, even if werewolf stories aren’t your cup of tea - this just might change your opinion (it did mine)(I still cannot believe it). Each book in the trilogy introduces more different identities, ending with, quite literally, a single token straight in the (found) family. Oh, there’s also d&d and gorgeous weather motifs that just tie the tale together perfectly.

🌈 not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you: people need a storm by c. paul the story continues in this sequel, which had me squealing of feels not even 80 pages in; it has the most pov from my fave character in the series and so much foreshadowing,,,,, rereading this series was such a great idea. i rly think the writing and pace and characters pick up in this one, lads

If you have any questions regarding the books i’ve read for the challenge so far or if you have any thoughts on them/the challenge, my asks are always open :D

What is Habitica?

My username is: Bamboo-study

Read below for the transcript

ALL ABOUT HABITICA: Learn how to use the website/app

Habitica 101

Habitica is an app and website dedicated to tracking "Habits," "Dailies," and "To Do's." Habitia will "Gamify your life" as you create an avatar, level up by completing tasks, and go on quests to level up your character.

Start here

Create an avatar. When you begin, you will have a default character. As you complete tasks and quests, you can customize your character more with armor and accessories.

Mark it off

Choose some tasks for each section (Habits, Dailies, and To-Do) that are attainable but challenging. This allows you to get the feel of the app and build Habits and Dailies. I tend to add distracting things or fun hobbies to the Rewards section.

Party up

Join a party to hold yourself accountable for accomplishing tasks! You can also go on quests with your party to gain more XP, pets, and gold.

Extra Info

XP helps you level up, once you level up you gain health and gold.

You lose health if you fail to complete a task or complete a bad habit.

Gold can be used to purchase rewards, items, and health potions (to restore lost health).

Pets are from eggs which can be found by completing tasks or quests with your party.

LETS START A PARTY. REPLY OR REBLOG WITH YOUR HABITICA USERNAME

Habitica is on the web, android, and iOS

Hey guys! it’s been a while lol I was feeling a bit under the weather so I decided to take it easy last week and I must say I feel way better! Don’t forget that you also deserve a break!

Questions about the 2020 quarantine challenge under the cute

Sat - Where is your favourite place in the world (eg a city you’ve been to, a restaurant, or a particular hiking spot)?

I’m a simple person, I really like the southern part of my home country honduras, although canada has been a wonderful place❤️

Sun - What is your favourite joke?

It’s a bit long but it’s worth it

Well I can stay more focused if I take small breaks in between each assignment

Talking to people and having a established schedule

Don’t be afraid to talk with someone about your struggles

Thu - What is the best advice you’ve ever been given (e.g. from a teacher of friend)?

At the end of the day, you can’t force passion. Find something you love, and then do it

Fri - What is your biggest tip for organizing your study space/study materials?

Take a picture, and once you’re done for the day make sure it looks like that

Don’t be so self-conscious on how to relax, maybe you relax by watching youtube videos or netflix shows or maybe by talking to others or maybe by reading. Just make sure to enjoy your free time!
