Hello, hello)). As usual, I hope everyone's doing okay. The missing entry on Sunday was intentional, as I decided that I will be aiming for one post on the weekend and, at least while I'm able to, daily posts during the week.
This entry will be a summary of my day today, and could even be perceived as somewhat of a routine. I say somewhat, because I dont't like the idea of a routine, as I'm not a big fan of monotonous activity, so I do my best to avoid falling into one. Let me know what you think of this type of post in the comments :).
My day started with an 08:30 alarm shaking all the sleep out of me. I don't wake up at ungodly hours of the morning like some people do, because I treasure my sleep (and also because I can't). If any of you wake up early, my hat goes off to you.
Now, I'm not proud of this, but after I turn off my alarm I end up sitting on my phone for a duration of around least half an hour. I want to point out that I am working on this, especially given the fact that before I'd be able to stay in bed for up to two hours after waking up. Anyhow, after sitting on my phone, I decided that I wanted to read, so I opted for the closest book to me, which happened to be a collection of stories by Edgar Allan Poe, which I was very kindly given for Christmas by a lovely person). The story I landed on was called 'The Masque of the Red Death'. I could not put the book down until I was done reading it, as the story was so excellently written (Poe never fails to capture the reader). Really recommend it to anyone willing to whip out their dictionary a few times during their read). Or maybe not, depending on your level of vocabulary, but I certainly had to look up a few words.
Then I proceeded to brush my teeth, grab a hangful ofraisins to have for breakfast, and sat down for my first study session of the day (Hooray!). Since I've been homeschooled for quite a while now, there wasn't really change in my studying (unlike a lot of people who had to switvh to online learning). I selected Biology to be up first, and had a more or less pleasant two hours working on my current tasks.
Then came lunch. Lunch is always nice, as I get to have a lengthy break before I have to get on with things again.
After lunch, I was once again greeted by my trusted books for another few hours. This time I got on with a Psychology case study called 'Canli et al.' (2000). Quite an nteresting study based around a part of the brain called the amygdala, and its function in relation to emotive images and the rememberance of them. Some nice results too, so I think it's worth a read for people who are interested in Psychology and/or neurological behaviour.
I also did some reading for Literature, and I may or may not have found my 'Read of the week' for this week. Let's see :)).
Afterwards, I took a quick break to do absolutely nothing (because breaks like that are necessary, guys) and did some exercises. Before the coronavirus broke out, I used to go to hand-to-hand combat sessions led by a great coach, and among some amazing people. It really is a pity that they had to close down our place for the time being, and I'm really hoping to be able to go back soon. I already miss everything about the place.
Then, my sweet-tooth side took over, and I made brownies. No one in the house is complaining, though, so I've got a win-win situation here :).
Looks like we're just about done here. Once I'm off the laptop, I'm heading straight for the brownies (was there even any doubt in that?). I'm looking to end my evening off with some stretching and just a tad more productive work.
Overall, I think my day turned out pretty well. Everything went as planned, adn stuff got done. A pat on the back for me :). My question of the day for you today is: How are you being productive?
Take care and stay safe. I'll see you soon))

I have trouble being productive, more now than ever with the quarantine and online classes are suddenly shoved into my arms. My school wasn't made for online classes, so my teachers at hmm... Inexperienced, to put it kindly. Just really makes me confused and lazy to actually do my work. How can I do them if I don't understand? I feel like writing a rant here lmao. But some of them are actually teaching us pretty good! I always finish my work on time with them.
ReplyDeleteAnd things always find a way to put me down, whether its little or big. So I tend to let it wash over me as I just sleep for another two to three hours maybe :') or eat. Or just stare at absolutely n o t h i n g. I'm trying to improve myself tho I swear--
That was a bit long😔 Sorry man. I have big respect for you for getting something done today!
Oh no, I hope things get better for you. Not worries about the comment being long, I love long comments)).
ReplyDeleteKeep positive. I'm sure things will start making more sense soon. I think that doing what makes you happy right now is important, as well as taking time to relax :).
Don't worry if you don't feel like you're getting a lot done, take this time to rest before things get back to normal).
Thats really sweet of you, stranger. Thanks💕
DeleteSounds like a productive day! I am also trying to stop going on my phone first thing in the morning and spend the time reading instead!
