Finished a reading 15 minutes early! I tried to force myself to move past the dense parts and focus just where I saw things relevant to the paper I have to read. My prof really has to stop giving us 80 page chapters when the essential info is condensed in maybe 20 pages of it, but aight. 

Let me know if yall are interested in seeing more digital studyblr in the future, since COVID has made me mostly paperless <3 It’s exhausting and not at all glamorous, especially in terms of being hunched over my desk, but I’m making it work and learning from my mistakes or trial-and-error.

I made this cross stitch a couple of weeks ago and never got a chance to post it but I really like it!

112219.

had the craziest friday of the term so far. i went to a class and was surprised to see none of my classmates and my professor in the room only to realize that i didn’t have any class on fridays (mind you, this term’ll be ending in a few weeks). instead, we had this in-campus fieldtrip of some sort which i thought would be tomorrow (bc i seriously thought it was thursday today) but lucky me, i made it just in time! aside from that, i really had a productive day and i am so proud of myself bc i was able to pick myself up after four days of breaking down and wallowing into self-destruction.

here’s what i was able to do:

• study korean again and finish the second half of lesson 13.

• finished re-writing/reviewing my notes (1/2)

• did half of a homework that is due on monday

• did three software exercises which are all due for tomorrow’s make-up class

detailed french study method

this is centered around the 625 most common french words, but you could implement this same system with any vocabulary count and theme.

as you know well by now, french has been a struggle for me, because I could never seem to retain the information I needed to, and grasping for words while communicating with others was far too dull. 

towards the end of january this year, I wondered if starting back at the beginning might be most beneficial for me, so i grabbed a 625 common words list from Fluent Forever and got to work.

all I did was copy that list into a spreadsheet...

...and add an extra column for each row so that I could have the french translations beside the english words.

that was the easy part!

instead of writing out the words vertically, I went row by row, so that ended up being a review of eight words per day. wordreference was always open in an adjacent tab while filling out these rows:

words were highlighted if I ended up having to search the dictionary for their definition. this was also a helpful way to keep track of the words that I would use in my writing a bit later.

because I’d already studied french before [on and off for five years prior], most of the words were not highlighted, but if this would be your first time going through french, you wouldn’t need to highlight!

after highlighting a row, I got my notebook and pen ready. I set the minimum word count at 50 words [give or take once I started to get into a rhythm]. then, i wrote out the words that i didn’t retain [like before, if this is your first time, then just write out all eight words!]. these words would be the content for my short story/blurb/clip:

the words for this first day here were l’argile, la maladie, l’image, and le nez ! for l’ words, definitely put their gender so that you can remember!

feel free to keep wordreference open as you write. those words that I have underlined within my mini composition are additional vocab that i had to look up. in this way, you may end up learning 12-15 words a day over just 8! I also searched for conjunctions and tenses and whatnot, stretch out to grammar if you want.

every seven days, you should be completing 7 rows of words. that’s a minimum of 56 words a week. plus, you’ll start to use the same vocabulary over and over, and that helps further reinforce your learning. you don’t necessary have to do this every day, just know that by the end of the week, 7 rows filled is your goal!

with 625 words, this took me 10 weeks to complete with steady progress. that was a really good pace for me, enough to be able to retain my newly-reviewed words, and also feel comfortable navigating new vocab and grammar structures. 

this took me anywhere from 15-30 minutes a day to complete, so just a bit of time each day can really pay off! if you have questions, shoot me an ask!

Notes on Human Computing Interaction (basically about designing user interface)

My photography and photo editing skills are not great on those photos, but it’s alright (especially the 2nd row 1st pic - horrible editing)😅

Speaking of 2nd row, I posted all pics from the correlated row on my Instagram, please check them out!

03.19.2019 // lots of work ft. an email trying to get my group to be productive

You’d think that communications majors would be better at communicating.... I hate group projects because I always have to be the annoying person sending out emails like this and being kinda mean + salty. :// But! On a more positive note: my group members actually responded to my email this time! Also I’m feeling really happy and motivated lately. It’s amazing what a break can do for your mental health. :)

I’m on Zoom! and unfortunately, right as I’m writing this, I’m waiting for my professor to end “another meeting in progress” so our recurring link will work and we can attend class :’) I hope this doesn’t count against me because I’m supposed to present today

Back at it again with some untamed quotes decorating my journal, I have no excuse.

I wish I could have a more diverse set of posts but I literally do nothing except waste my time and draw in my journal.

today’s a great day because my tuition is finally fully paid!! anyway, i have a quiz on thursday and i am so not prepared for it. my professor’s presentation about today’s discussion hasn’t been posted yet and it’s the most vital part of the exam like ???????? IM PANICKING. but guess who’s gonna stay up late and try to fit that lesson in just a day and a half UGH i hate my lyf.

also! i was finally able to finish the draft of my academic paper today. i really hope it could get published in a journal. that’d be so cool!
