Hello! I almost forgot to blog about my day, I'm guessing it has something to do with having tomorrow off, it's gonna be great. I hope I have time to go and take some pictures with my "real" camera since I've been showing you almost exclusively mobile pics. What's the point of having a separate camera if I don't use it, am I right?
All the pictures are in black&white to reinforce my unhappiness with the weather. But I've actually had a pretty good day despite that, since I have such great friends! After school a whole bunch of us went into town to look around in stores and eat a little snack. Then later on a few of us went to get take-out to bring with us when we went to visit another friend of ours (she isn't in the pictures though) and hang out at her place.
Helloo! I was googling how to make myself look older and I found a tutorial on youtube which I tried. What do you think? The picture to the right is from this weekend and the picture on the left is from today. Do I look any older?
Anyway I'm swamped with school work. And of course I'm ignoring it and blogging instead! Need to get back to work now...
Hello! I'm sitting in school right now, waiting for this day to be over. My Monday school days usually end at 14:30 but since I'm taking a kind of health pass course I have to stay in school until 7. You have to have it to work around food and such stuff in Finland. I'm not sure if that's the kind of area that I want to work in, in the future but it's a good thing to have, especially since we can get it easily and cheap from school. Talk to you later!
Heey! As you probably know, today's Friiiiday! My mood has been up and down today and you can see from the pictures what I've been up to. I went to eat with my friend E after school, and since we're such hipsters I took the picture after we had already eaten our food. It's too mainstream to take a picture of untouched food. Then we went and had a look around the stores. After that I drove home and that's where I am right now. The plans for tonight haven't been decided yet, hope you have a great Friday!
Hello! These next couple of weeks I'll be occupied with school stuff and my posts will probably not be the most interesting. But I thought I'd share some tips that I use to study more efficiently.
Studying is all about finding what works for you. Do you learn by listening? Associating words with pictures ? Writing mind-maps? You need to find out by doing, test out loads of different techniques to work out a study plan for you.
Another super important thing is your environment. You should optimise it to the fullest. If you know that when you're studying at home your sibling is constantly annoying you and trying to get a reaction out of you then you need to find another place to study! Go to a coffeeshop, the local library, your grandma's house, anyplace where you know you can study.
It's hard to find a place that's completely quiet and rid of distractions. But there is a great trick that I always take too: Study music! You probably have no idea what that is and it can really be any music. The biggest criteria for study music is that it shouldn't interfere with your studying. In other words it should be instrumental, if there's lyrics you will get distracted. Classical music is perfect, there's nothing better than revising and listening to Mozart's best hits. But if that's not your thing you can use something else! Go to youtube and type 'study music' you'll find loads!
I'm listening to this right now:
Get creative with your studying, it should be fun! You have a history exam? Watch a documentary! Loads of Spanish words to learn? Use websites like quizlet.com, there are loads of things out there that can help you learn.
Obviously not my pictures since they're absolutely gorgeous, all rights go to their respective owners.
I'm strezzzzzzzzed out. I'm so ready to go for a vacation right now, school is really tough since I've got one of my worst periods (schedule wise) right now. It sucks since I'm so tired of school already. At least summer is right around the corner, I'm trying to keep that in mind with the workload I've got.
I've got one month off before I start my summer job! I'm so grateful that I actually got a summer job since it's very competitive where I live, right after I'm done with my summer job we're going for a family holiday to Spain. Can't wait!
Hello!
Today was a good day! I had school to 1pm and then I went to have lunch @Pincho, they had a
tasty salad buffet. I got a ride home, didn't do anything special until I went to my last piano class for this spring. I started taking piano last fall so I'm not exactly an expert(yet) but it's a lot of fun and I have learned lots in this past year. Now I'm gonna jump in the shower before revising for my math test that I have tomorrow. Hope you had a great Thursday!
I'm quite and avid selfie taker but since I don't post my selfies anywhere special I thought I'd show all my lovely readers.
It's almost embarrassing how many photos I have of myself on my phone.
What's even more embarrassing is how many photos there are of me on other people's phones. It's become a habit of mine to reach for everybody's phones and take pictures of myself on them.
Does that make me vain? I don't know, probably.
My day hasn't been the best. My leather jacket was stolen today so I had to go home without one. Luckily my mom picked me up so I didn't have to be cold for too long.
Right now I've done all my homework. It's really weird how much time of your day is needed for homework. I remember in third and fourth grade I never did my homework. The same pattern followed in fifth and sixth grade.
But by seventh grade I was a good girl who always did her homework, and by now it's become such a habit to always do my homework, maybe not straight away but I can't even imagine going to a class with my homework undone. I think it has to do with us (in my school) never really receiving too much assessment in elementary school.
But by seventh grade I felt that homework was essential for me ever having an ambitious future career. What I didn't know was how small of an impact those grades would have on my future and how they were really not important at all.
Was that time wasted? No I don't think so, I probably wouldn't have done anything worthwhile anyway.
