Study Space - Blog Posts
2.02 / my reading list is growing exponentially and now I'm playing catch up with it
I can't go back and change the beginning, but I can start from here and change the ending.
Merhabalar ✋🏻

Don’t lower your standards. Increase the effort.
Ah I missed my old study space...
My desk was wide and free. I could fit many things sometimes but when I wanted spacious, it was what I needed.

Some dark vibes...
But I like it like that!
Plus, the light on the page and darkness surrounds you is the best focusing condition, at least for me.

This was from my first psychology exam studying.
The date: March 2020
The time things were about to change :')

just before the psychopathology final study sessions started...
The exam was relatively good by the way.

i had little to no motivation to do anything last week, but got a lot of my motivation back this week. constantly reminding myself that - especially with adhd - motivation follows action, not the other way around. also had a lovely couple of cafe study sessions with my sibling and my mum.

Is it just me or does everybody's handwriting depend on mood??🤭
🙌just finished Biology syllabus for Wednesday test🙌

Fail: First attempt in learning...Really?
We all are very enthusiastic when we begin...but towards the end all kinds of negative emotions and self doubt surround us. People say that you should believe in yourself...but hey! Is it that easy? Especially after having lost the game once? It's very easy to say that failures is first attempt in learning, but let me tell you failure sucks. Failure takes your self-confidence. Failure makes you feel smaller... It feels as if you've lost your own self.
Let's work on it and prove it, not to the world but ourselves, that we are no less.

Finally things are falling in place🙂
I don't get stressed when there is a lot of work...I usually get stressed when I am not doing what I should be doing.

I wasn't productive as I thought I would be today but compering to my past self I did a lot , I feel like can save the semester I just need to mange my time more because I spend a lot of it doing samll progress
I start my finals exams next week, I've been playing the whole semester and I got really bad grades, but now it's time for my academic comeback.
I organised everything I have to study , I didn't make a plan but I'll have a o do list everyday based on my progress
For today I'm gonna to :
Do some math exercises
Chapter of chimie
30 min Spanish
Prepare my papers for mechanical
Hey! Im still here
Hello people! Lately i been doing the usual of studying and so on. This semester we started a few new classes like pharmacology and im pretty excited as well as i am scared of it!
On the other hand, i continue to go through the lab work with a few DNA extractions from blood and buffy coat, pretty fun if you let me say!
Good luck everyone!
Morning studying
Today’s morning i had started the parasitology module in my course of microbiology. I can’t help but being extremely excited of this even if its not “face-to-face classes” but rather recorded ones. Currently im interested on doing a master in parasitology in the future, so this might be the first date in this relationship, haha.
ps: helminths are very curious to see, although I am grateful to not be responsible for taking the diagnostic tests, but rather analyzing them.
qPCR and extraction of DNA
This morning I had the opportunity to practice DNA extraction from a blood sample from a South hospital. It was a rather nice experience since I wasn't anxious at all, I had overcome my fear of micropipette.
Nanodrop practice
Yesterday I had the opportunity to practice with some DNA samples in the nanodrop, so tonight after finishing my duties as student council I decided to transcribe my notes from the lab.
Studying Physiology 🩸🫁
Tomorrow I have this blood respiratory system test so lately, I have just practicing some questions as a way to review the content of the unit
Wish me luck!
Finally autumn has come here.
Who am i?
Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Apollo, 20 y/o and currently studying biotech in the healthcare area. I'm a research enthusiast and currently working on a historical paper on medical education in my country.
The subjects I am taking this semester are…
Public Health 🏥

Patophysiology 🫀
Molecular Technologies applied to diagnosis (on lab) 🥼
Nowadays
Besides the paper I'm writing with my professor, I'm visiting a genetic Lab to sweeten my motor skills in PCR and other techniques.
🥼🎧🗒️
And I have already finished the following subjects
Anatomy
Physiology cellular and neuro
Biochemistry
Physics
Math
Histology and embryology
Genetics
Biology cellular and molecular
Chemistry
Applied Biochemistry (lab work)
Immunology

october 8, 2020 | day 9/100 of productivity
thursdays are the longest day of the week for me - i have class from 8:00-4:30pm and today I had a meeting with my mentors! so studying is always a struggle but i decided to wake up early to get some work done. i woke up at 6am and it was so so dark but it was relatively productive :-) i guess fall/winter is really here.
accomplishments -read and presented the readings for this week -finished 500+ anki cards -wrote up my patient history for marking !!

it's been over a week since i last posted. i have been so stressed for my calculus midterm. i did over 250 integrals in five days, staying up until 4 am every day or not sleeping at all. my physics midterm got pushed to after the break so now i have three midterms back to back.
just had my calculus midterm last night and it honestly did not go well. this past week leading up to and after my exam definitely took a toll on me mentally, physically, and emotionally which undoubtedly affected my exam. but i'm going to try and stay motivated for my other classes and get a better mark on the calculus final.
i have so many lab reports and proposals to write now but at least reading week is next week and i'll be going home to see the sun.

i might be cheating by summarizing multiple days but i really don't have the motivation to post every day.
spent the weekend studying for my physics midterm. went to the bar and a concert over the weekend which i enjoyed immensely. also viewed an apartment which i might sign soon: i really liked it (huge modern open kitchen, washing and drying machine, quiet... what more can one ask for).
my school has called a snow day for tomorrow so now my both physics midterm and chemistry lab have been pushed to next week... same week as my calculus midterm. just amazing. and just after my biology lab last week got pushed as well.
i am currently feeling very unmotivated, evident by how i have not been posting. but i know that i have to study or my calculus mark will be worse than last semester's so tomorrow i will force myself to walk through the blizzard to study at a cafe. i am feeling quite confident about physics however i still have not fully formatted my crib sheet. so i will do that during my study breaks tomorrow.
slight vent: a lot of my classes have been getting cancelled recently and it's really frustrating because i studied for these midterms (i was even doing physics at the bars) and now my entire study plan has been thrown out the window. also online classes and meetings are just so draining. it's really miserable to be constantly freezing then trek through a meter of snow in the rare cases when i get out of the house. i can't wait for summer. my mood is only boosted by the big glass of red wine i had last night and the prospect of hot matcha tomorrow.
images: very out of tune piano in the physics building, however still beautiful. a bagel cafe study session with a friend (im going there again tomorrow). roses i bought myself on valentines. unfortunate car.

song of the day: open hearts- the weeknd
completed a 17 hour 2 day first aid course this weekend. got my certification for working as a first aid responder in my school's first aid club next semester. caught up on my calculus and did notes. finished 75% of my calculus problem sets. finished my chemistry pre lab. finished two physics assignments. am now two weeks behind in chemistry but my next midterm is after my reading week so i think i'll focus on my calculus midterm since i still haven't done any practice problems. overall i had fun this weekend, my course was genuinely really fun and i made a lot of new friends.
