Ew, a makeup photoset. Such self-involvement. I normally wouldn’t do this, but I’ve had a few requests for epidermal macro shots. And it was nice to use shadows again. And I’m all chopped up. Chopped up faces are sweet, y/y? ❤

Having a bad face day, I look like a puffy potato… Well, doesn’t matter much since all I’m gonna do is lie in a dentist chair and have my skull drilled for 1½ hours. Oh happy day -______- Cardigan/hoodie from H&M Handmade skirt (remember that these will be on my Etsy soon! Not that you can see it very well here x)) UGG knit boots (got them second hand practically free) Everything else is thifted

Tutorial: how to make organized notes.

  1. Read the objectives of the lecture. If there aren’t any, flip through the lecture slides and make an outline. This puts into perspective what you need to be learning and what you should get out of this lecture. FAQ: what do I do if there are no objectives?
  2. Skim the book to get familiar with how the information is divided compared to your outline or objectives. While doing this, you’ll figure out whether or not you need the extra details from the book. Sometimes the lecture is enough and you could keep the textbook just as a reference to things you don’t get.
  3. Write down the first objective and flip to the page in the book that has the information pertaining to that objective. Read the lecture slide then refer to the book for details.
  4. Combine your lecture notes with the textbook information. Do this by rewriting the information in your own words and try to be as concise as possible. 
  5. Keep doing this for every objective. Paste things if it helps.
  6. Make sure that you’re not just copying information. Use visual aids as much as possible. Put the information in a table, flowchart, diagram, etc.. (refer to this post to see how I make my flowcharts).
  7. When you’re done with all your objectives, go through the lecture and your notes to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

General tips on how to keep them organized:

  • Be systemic. Making objective-oriented notes is one way to do that. 
  • Use two (or more colors). Color-coding information helps me remember it + it doesn’t look that bad.
  • Section your objectives according to the topic. Then make sure that when you’re writing out the information, it’s in a sequence that’s understandable.

Disclaimer: this is the way I’ve been making my notes since I started med school. By no means am I claiming it’s perfect or that everybody should follow it.

Hope this helps and as always, happy studying :)

Annotating Literature

This post has taken a while and I apologise. When people asked if I had advice etc I realised while trying to write it that I’ve been annotating books for so long I don’t really think about it anymore so I wasn’t sure what to tell them. Also I have three essays due in  eight days time so y’know a little busy. But hopefully this will be helpful to any lit students out there. Putting a cut here because this is loooong yo.
