Hey.
It's been an extremely long time the last time I updated. So, this will (hopefully) be a long one that I can just vomit out my thoughts.
So biology has been on my mind a while now and I feel great about that. I finished the 'Enzymes and Biochemical Pathways' chapter in one week which I was really happy about! So I got to work on Chapter 5 Cellular Signals. I wrote the first part of notes today which was fun. I also did some quick check questions but I have to come back to two of them because I don't really understand the sample answers.
Yesterday, I had Final Assembly at school. It was way different to last year's where it was very happy and the teachers sang. This year, it was really sad because it was my principal's last day. We sang a song for her and it was really nice and I nearly cried at one part...
We also got out yearbooks which I flipped through when I was still in the city because I wanted to see it all. I stayed for a long time at Dymocks where there were a lot of people. A lot. I guess it's because of Christmas time and all. It made me feel happy though that there were this many people looking for books. Even young kids.
I finished my book furiously and then wandered around the shop like a ghost looking at all the new books that were on display. I just wanted to read them all.
I also got my books for next year. YAY. I am so excited for my subjects. The fresh new books looked so inviting. It was amazing. I got my 'Much Ado about Nothing' book but I didn't get the Hamilton Case because there was none in the shop apparently so I'll have to wait. Those were for Literature. I also got my Methods, Specialist, Chemistry and Psychology textbooks. I also got the Chemistry Workbook.
When I woke up today, I was so excited for all those new books. I think I was dreaming about them. Hahah. The first thing I studied today was Biology which was reading about the 'Human Change Over Time' notes to consolidate it and make sure that it stays in my brain instead of wandering to the darkest corners of my mind. It took more than one promodoro but I did it more actively than last time when I was just blindly reading the notes, flipping to the next page and so on.
Then I did some math. It took about 20 mins for one math problem. To understand it. Then I tried again in the next promodoro and I did other math questions because I didn't want to waste anymore time. It's a precious thing time. Then I felt like not studying. So I just sat down and contemplated what I should do. I finally convinced myself to go back upstairs and study which was when I did my notes for biology.
Then I watched some episodes of the Netflix Original I'm watching currently. It's okay but not as good as the last one I watched which took me like 13 weeks to finish. I did a bit of yoga, for a change because I didn't feel like doing ANY physical activity whatsoever but I had to, because I was sedentary for a long period of time. Then I read 'Much Ado About Nothing' and wrote answers to questions that were prompted in the book. I just want to get a headstart for next year so that I don't fall behind. I don't want to be behind. Then I read through some of my psychology textbook. Then I went to writing on ATARnotes because I haven't done it for such a long time.
So yeah, that has basically been my routine but different since last Monday. I've been aiming to study four hours a day so that I can really do the things I have to do without running out of time and being unproductive. It helps me stay on track and make sure that I am actually studying. I really need to do the Methods textbook though as I feel I am pouring more of my energy into Biology, for some reason. I wonder why.
I will see you guys next time. Have a good evening!
