sometimes i wanna be red nails and cigarettes and cat-eye sunglasses, but then again i wanna be lipgloss and rose petals and lace, but at the same time i also like baggy sweaters and second-hand book stores and polaroids, but then i think about long scarves and fog and well-worn books, but then i see fingerless gloves and bruised knees and tangled jewellery, but also what about messy braids and daisy chains and knee-high grass, but then-

I went to a talk where a radiologist was explaining burnout and after the talk we chatted on the side and he said burnout comes from when you care too much and people around you don’t care enough and that has been living rent free in my head all week

10 steps to revise for an exam (and my recommended timeline)

Quickly go over the material that will be covered on the exam. Put each topic into a category of "Good" "Okay" and "Bad" based on your understanding of that topic. (Day 0 - Before revising)

Look at steps 3-10 and put them into a study plan that you can follow. This will keep you on track and ensure you cover everything. (Day 0 - Before revising)

First, start with your "Okay" list. Briefly revise each topic, focusing on definitions, formulas, and general concepts. At this point, you should be ensuring that you know the information, not focusing on exam practice. I like using flashcards for this step to ensure I actually know the information (Day 1)

Now, do the same for your "Good" list. (Day 1 or 2)

Once you've done steps 2 and 3, you're ready to practice! If your professor has given you practice/review questions, use those. You can also find great questions in your textbook or from past assignments. (Day 2)

Now, focus on your "Bad" category. Do a much more thorough review of the information in this category, almost as if you're learning it for the first time. This is a step where flashcards may be super helpful, especially if you need to power through a lot of memorization work (Day 3).

This is where you practice your "Bad" category. Make sure to do multiple questions for each topic to ensure that you're prepared for anything that comes your way (Day 4).

Revisit all the information you've studied over this process, and do more practice problems on the topics you're struggling with the most. (Day 5)

Take a deep breath, get some sleep, and eat a good meal! (Exam day!)

Take your exam!

what you don't get is science exists because people can love. medicine exists because people love each other enough to want each other to live long healthy lives. astronomy exists because someone loved the stars and the planets enough to track them through their ever changing position in the darkest night. science exists because humans are curious little creatures and we want to know the world around us and understand it like it does us. we know stars and planets worlds away, we've sent cameras worlds away, all because we love the universe, and we also put love in those satellites!! we sent the sound of a 100 languages, lovely messages, the sound of rain and a laugh, all out there just in case there's someone in the universe looking for us like we do them, and so that they know that they were never alone, and we sent them the most simple loving things we could find.

Went for a gorgeous sunny walk the other day, then watched the queens funeral which was really moving - I feel like a huge part of our country is gone now 💔 and I applied to work at a scout camp next year. Drafted a 400 word statement of why I would be perfect for it and then found the box only lets you write 50 words. Oops.

been a little while! the dissertation is, of course, in, which is an enormous relief and to be honest, I've largely forgotten what it was about. it was so hard, in ways that it isn't worth rehashing here, but it's an experience that I wouldn't have changed for the world, and regardless of what happens with it, I am proud of every single hour spent at my desk, at university or in an archive. I plan on creating a few more posts about the whole MA experience, and then I really and truly am done with university probably forever.

I'll have to change my url, but I think I might stick around. I've got myself a job that I'm really excited for and, as jobs go, it's quite university-adjacent, so I think I'll be able to fit it in with what's been going on here quite nicely. to that end, pictured: coming home on the train from a weekend with my dog, and my first real day at work
