Days of Productivity 16/100.

I have fallen a bit off the wagon with this challenge slightly. It's not like I haven't been productive, it's more like I'm doing a lot of the same things in the same places. Also, I am so bad at taking pictures of my day.

I'm currently just working on one course, and impulsively trying to teach myself Latin while I get myself back in the groove of studying before I back into university proper. I'm also working on some editing for a short story that I've started. My chronic pain in my hands makes it so difficult to type, so I need to take a lot of breaks. But we're getting through things slowly but surely.

11.16.2022~ Did some studying for AP Gov, since we got our MCQ test on Thursday. I’m supposed to take a bio quiz tmrw but I have to get my senior pics taken, so I’ll have to work around that. Friday is my bio test, and I have to remember to take in my spanish project to class on Thursday too, I left it in my car when I realized it would get ruined from all the rain.

The day before an exam! Honestly just studied all day until evening came and I had to switch into research paper mode because I have a research paper for my masters program due after the exam. But the day was surprisingly less stressful than I expected and I managed to almost finish a rough draft of my entire paper ☺️

゜゜・ a (re)introduction to studyblr ・ ゜゜

hi everyone! i’ve been on studyblr for a while – i was a veteran studyblr under a different name & the account is still there, but it exists more as an archive for me – so this is my second shot!

**•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ about me ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*

  • you can call me valentine, or val for short!
  • pronouns are she/her, i’m also 💅
  • best aesthetic to describe me is chaotic academia
  • i will be tracking #kaimenestra so feel free to use that tag!

**•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚   my academics ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*

  • i am a college student! in my second year right now
  • my major is area studies (specifically east asian studies), but i take a lot of law/social justice-adjacent courses too
  • thinking of law school and/or grad school :)
  • my academic interests lie strictly in the humanities – languages, literature, law, and social science research are big parts of my life

**•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ my goals ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*

  • i’m hoping to get fluent in my target languages, so i’ll be documenting them here. i speak english and a chinese dialect, but i’ll be studying a mix of: mandarin chinese, korean, german, ukrainian, and french!
  • i like to do research, and am currently on track to be published in an academic journal by the end of undergrad!
  • i am also the type of person who loves reading but doesn’t actually read that much, so hopefully this helps me read again!

the rest (non-academic info & tags) under the cut for length reasons

welcome back !!

Day 1 of winter classes - Introduction to Psychology: Part 1
The History of Psychology
It’s 3am and my classes started at midnight and I immediately hopped onto my Psych class.
I am so incredibly excited for this class and am ecstatic that we’re using Crash Course Psychology as a resource for the term.
Absolutely pumped.

Hi all! I recently launched the fundraiser for my second short film, May Be Unholy.

This dramedy is about an atheist who's briefly convinced that witches (and divinity) are real, all because of a prank gone wrong.

I'm making May Be Unholy for many reasons. I'm largely inspired by my own relationship with divinity and how that has changed throughout my life, having been raised quite religious and then learning to redefine that relationship as I got older. Two, I absolutely love witch lore and am inspired to learn more about it, especially the historical and psychological parallels of "witch hysteria." Three, I just want to see more films where women and non-binary folks can be chaotic and fun and imperfect. I feel strongly about comedy and spectacle being a universal experience for everyone.

I would be eternally grateful if you would be willing to donate to this project (we've got some cute merch as perks!) The fundraiser can be found on our Indiegogo page, where we describe the story in depth, as well as our production plans. Feel free to follow us on Instagram @maybeunholy. Please share with friends, family, and loved ones! Thank you so much!! <3 <3

My dudes! I can offically say that I got a distinction in my Masters in Medieval Literature and Languages! (I found out in November but wasn't posting back then) These are all the notebooks I used throughout my MA 📖

19.01.2022 // is this among the prettiest posts i've shared with u? obviously not. but it's been ages since i posted anything but book-related content, so hi, hello, a bit of a long time no see situation :) ngl the past half a year has been absolute hell and i'm really not having the time of my life, but i absolutely refuse to quit, so there's that; quite inconvenient when you have over 11 exams in the span of a month if u ask me, but ✨it is what it is✨ am i right.. anyway, hope you've started the year off better and that you get enough time to yourself this year to do what sparks joy alongside your studies/work xx

19072020 when everything goes wrong - pancakes Sunday is always there to save the day 🥞 how are you guys doing today? my weekend was extremely unproductive, but I haven’t felt this peaceful in forever. I feel like finally slowing down and getting in peace with my mind, which is something I’ve been struggling with for a loooong time. my sleeping schedule is getting better and better, my meditations are becoming more mindful and I feel like that first inhale when opening a window after a huge and gloomy storm. I hope y’all are having a great Sunday 🍂✨
