- respiration in plants- 90/100 rank 3/100

My main 2nd semester exams start this Monday. 2 exams per day 😋no study holidays 🥰 6 exams finish in 3 days 😍😍

I want my redemption arc (try to score more than my mid terms- above 94% but ideally I want to get a perfect score in all subjects) let’s see how that one goes.

12-08-24 | Day 1/108

Just got back in Manila. I feel a bit sad today because I wished I could spend more time with my family back home. At the same time, I’m proud of myself for attending a 4-hour lecture in parasitology (bare minimum i know). Also, I spent 2 hours and a half reviewing for BB after I got back to our dorm. I deleted tiktok and instagram to increase focus and lessen my screentime; it’s been 4 hours since then and I’m doing good so far.

Moreover, I noticed that it takes me a longer time to review materials now, and I’m planning to resolve that. I am aiming to cover 10 pages of review material every hour, which sounds so ambitious I know.

My plans for tomorrow:

• wake up at 5am

• review for an hour

• scan hematology notes

• after lectures, review BB again

✦ 8. 12. 24 ✦📓✦ Sunday ✦ 43 days to exams ✦

These are my philosophy notes for tomorrow. Ngl I procrastinated A LOT today. It´s difficult for me to do other things knowing I have an exam tomorrow... I will have to learn how to avoid this type of procrastination soon.

I also almost finished Cixin Liu´s "Ball Lightning". I saved the rest as a reward after school tmr :)

29/11

So I didn't do any work for like 3 days and I've been feeling so down. Even though I spent that time with people close to me and I had a good time I still feel incredibly guilty for not doing work. Today I tried catching up on everything but I only ended up doing about 70% of what I was planning on doing. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed in myself.

Anyways, to not end on a sad note, I still got the most important things on my list done and I still have enough time to get everything done on time even if I'll have to stay late at the library for a couple of days.

Also it's such a fun contrast between reading serious and long winded bio research papers vs just some guy who really likes Neanderthals.

Bleh:p

day 100/100

Y'ALL WE DID IT! finally, it's officially the last day of my 100 dop & November, lessgggooooo!! istg i've had so so so much fun, i didn't expect my blog to grow so much or that i'd meet so many lovely people, but god has it been an experience, so much happened in between but we completed it! hehe, happie, happie, happieee!! also i'm fs staying, my digital detox is still going on, and i might do something for december since it's going to be a VERY busy month academically, but we're so on it!🤍

attend live lecture on chemical bonding

Organization & Studying Tools

(this isn't exhaustive, this is just a list of the ones I've used that don't fill me with rage)

(they're all free btw)

Notecards & Memorization

Anki (obligatory) - especially helpful in fields that require a lot of memorization. If you're premed, learn how to use it ASAP.

Omninote - an option simpler than anki for my brothers in arms mourning the loss of quizlet's base functions. You can import quizlet sets very easily. Fuck quizlet i hope they die

Notes

Obsidian - oughgh i love obsidian it's so simple and it operates in markdown files and it has helpful features but no bloat and and and (some people use it for dnd campaigns too)

Collanote (ipad app) - I think this is literally the only notetaking app with a useable free version. I've never needed a feature that was paywalled.

Creativity

Milanote - online vision board thing? I haven't tried it yet but my cosplay artist & furry animator sister loves it and uses it to plan her creative projects

22/11

I forgor to take pictures of my notes :(

Anyways pretty productive spent the whole day at the library

[zsyilwx]

PLEASE let's talk about how insanely restrictive insurance companies are and the fact that you have to look patients in the eye and tell them that even though you know they need treatment and you have the treatment, you cannot administer it because of their insurance. It's genuinely so bad. The state of medicine in the US especially is just miserable. If you genuinely care about patients you either won't be able to sleep at night or you'll be risking your job and medical license.

yes, doctors suck, but also "the medical ethics and patient interaction training doctors receive reinforces ableism" and "the hyper competitive medical school application process roots out the poor, the disabled, and those who would diversify the field" and "anti-establishment sentiment gets applications rejected and promotions requests denied, weeding out the doctors on our side" and "the gruesome nature of the job and the complete lack of mental health support for medical practitioners breeds apathy towards patients" and "insurance companies often define treatment solely on a cost-analysis basis" and "doctors take on such overwhelming student loan debt they have no choice but to pursue high paying jobs at the expense of their morals" are all also true

none of this absolves doctors of the truly horrendous things they say and do to patients, but it's important to acknowledge that rather than every doctor being coincidentally a bad person, there is something specific about this field and career path that gives rise to such high prevalence of ableist attitudes

and I WILL elaborate happily

21/11

I had to lock in so hard to hand in my essay on time, even though I had a week to do it I waited till the last possible minute. If I gave myself more time it would have probably turned out better. Also some orgo notes because the final is looming in the horizon.

+ Bio student. + ADHD haver and professional yapper, because sometimes it does suck and a rant is good for the soul. + This is just a way to keep myself in check and motivate myself.
