01.02.24// managed to find a balance between all of my jobs and my phd routine and, so far, it works well :) i mean i'm still exhausted, but at least i have a routine!

ft. the cover of my seoul travel journal from my new year's trip - so happy with how it turned out (i made a separate post about it, but changed my mind afterwards lol). kind of considering making more journaling-themes posts in the future! also, i discovered this vegan bakery in my neighborhood and that gingerbread cake was so good!!

day 61 // 100dop

finished notes on factors affecting reactivity

did a few practice questions in the book and online

finished those god-awful practice assignments that covered things we didn't cover in the book

a single question takes so long to figure out and i can't believe i already forgot how to name organic molecules (covered just last semester! 😭). in total i studied for 5 hours. i cannot wait to finish this organic chemistry module. 5 hours doesn't sound like much to me, but i feel so drained and not in a satisfying way.

sunday, july 30th, 2023 | 35/100 days of productivity

I was kind of dreading today because it was finally time to take a practice exam, even though I wasn't as far in my review of the material as I had hoped. it went really well, though! I did better than I thought I would and I wrote down a few areas that I need to focus on. I also got to practice the simulation-style questions for the first time, which makes me less nervous about the actual exam.

the blessing/curse of having an open-note and open-book exam is that there is a ton of material that I need to be able to find quickly. this practice exam was also a test of my index and note-taking system, and I think it worked pretty well! I still have lots to study, but I'm not as afraid that I'm going to completely fail the exam in a month haha

today's productivity:

took a practice exam

setup my august bujo spreads

planned next week

today's self-care:

took a shower

ate some vegetables at lunchtime

chatted with friends

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book. That’s the thing about books.
