sort of studying

@chaoticstudying

a slightly chaotic study blog that'll hopefully keep me motivated

I've realised i should have an introduction post :)

  • I'm izzy, and I am an engineering student based in melbourne, australia!
  • this is my studyblr that i do try to stay active on, as it's hopefully going to provide some study motivation, which I severely lack.

Some fun facts about me:

  • my favourite colour is purple but since thats kinda hard to pair with stuff my whole colour scheme for everything is blue/greens and neutrals :)
  • i am studying engineering at uni! have not decided on a major as of yet but stay tuned
  • favourite music artists: new hope club, one direction, louis tomlinson, vansire, conan gray :)
  • sports I like: i have like zero hand-eye co-ordination, so I swim (competitively) and run (casually) :)
  • I am a chronic, chronic procrastinator. I cannot emphasise this enough. i have written full 1000 word english essays on the day they're due which is good except for the part where that tells me procrastination is okay to do again...
  • gay! yippee
  • favourite books series is probably the magicians
  • I draw sometimes (I'm not very good but it is fun)
  • I will add more if I think of more :)

Feel free to reblog with your own intros! I'm always open to make friends :)

Me when I'm old as fuck and my grandkids talk to me: this reminds me of a post. I gotta go find the post

Grandkids: grandpa sit down you don't need to show us a post

Me: (not listening) Now where was that post....

happy new year everybody! i am so so relaxed, more than i have been in ages. the holiday has been very refreshing. that said, i have made a few new years eve resolutions:

  1. no more AI for uni. not even the tiniest bit. I swear I wasn't a big big user, but even I was guilty of occasionally resorting to it for quick maths questions, so no more of that.
  2. more commitment to swimming. no more skipping training. i am going to lock in.

anyway, I hope everyone is having a nice holiday.

photos: pretty pool photo from a holiday, flowers in my kitchen, and delicious matcha!

Uni classes are officially done!! I now just have swotvac + 3 exams thank god (and one report but that doesn't count because yuck). I have spent this week being slightly less productive but that's also because I was on top of everything for once. It is now study for exams so I don't fail time but YAY ALMOST DONE!!

Also!! Picked my major - civil eng, solely because the electrical class scared me off mechatronics for good.

Photos (my most aesthetic in a while, go me): cat that snuck into work today, yummy food and drinks from lunch with my gf, and another cute photo of the shoulder of my snoopy shirt + my matcha (i am a matcha lover but I swear i liked them before it was a performative man thing) because it feels odd to put an actual full photo of me online but yes.

I passed an assessment I'd failed a bunch of times yesterday so am still riding on that high (we only get a certain amount of attempts so this was a big relief). I am back after an assessment break and we only have three weeks left, which is insane because that means I've almost finished my first year of uni. I am trying very hard to make myself more productive and have succeeded as of today so hopefully this continues! Photos: electrical circuit absolute nightmare no no no, pretty gardens I saw with my gf, funny text exchange with my friend before the assessment!

We are locked in! Semester break next week and I can't wait. I am mostly (shockingly) way more on top of things than I expected so apparently my time management has actually dramatically improved this semester because I am not that behind.

Praying my last day of uni work does not ruin this streak

Photos: I went pottery painting on a double date and made a snoopy matcha bowl and I'm very proud of myself, cute little jellycat clay cake I made and a cute dog that I did not make, and photos from dinner out with uni friends!

I am also getting better at updating this blog again so honestly go me. Getting my life together or what.

Semester two update ! I am sick :( but on the bright side it meant I had time to rest & clean my room before I finally do the prework I've been putting off. My goal is to maybe finish stuff so I can rest or maybe draw because I haven't done that in forever

the whole 'nobody would miss me if i were gone' line of reasoning is so completely and mindblowingly false, it's almost laughable if you take a couple steps back. there's a lady at work who has been there for maybe two or three weeks and has only talked to me a handful of times, ask where the necklace i usually wear went. another person asked where i was cause i wasn't scheduled for about a week. i regularly think of friends who have deactivated their accounts or who i've lost contact with and what id tell them. i still think about people i haven't talked to for years even though i didn't know them well. people still think about you even if you're a passing specter on the street. and that's not even holding a candle to how much the people who are personally involved in your life care. people do notice and care. all the time. it might be hard to see it or remember it but people do care. ily.

End of semester update! Have finished my first ever semester of engineering :) It started off tricky but I've made some friends (YAY) and I have hopefully hopefully passed my exams (I won't find out for a bit).

Photos: cute cafe that I have been to a couple times, pretty sky from yesterday, NGV (for an art excursion since my elective was an art class), and finally, the bridge I had to build for one of my classes. Yes, it held the weight (barely) so that was very exciting.

I've decided that uni is very different to school but not necessarily bad so that's a win, and I love the independence!
