decided to show off my notion *:･ﾟ★*:･ﾟ☆

i mostly see people using the inbuilt “not started” “in progress” and “completed” tags but as someone who is the complete opposite of a perfectionist i really needed that “close enough xddd” tag

i really want to make the layout more cohesive but this is the only way it can look normal on both a computer and an ipad

also wish they gave us the power to put pictures next to databases alreadyyyyy

Well I sure disappeared.. for a while….

I somehow managed to get semi normal grades last semester and now that I’m on meds i’m actually showing up to class and getting those sweet ‘go up to the board and do an exercise’ participation points

I also picked up mandarin chinese 1 but the class is slugging along so i’m learning HSK 1 grammar points in my own time for fun as well as cursive hanzi writing

Pics: chinese, math stat 2, renormalization methods in qft, stuff for my masters thesis which im starting very late cause reasons

So I keep seeing posts on studyblr about how to take notes, some of them “official” methods like the Cornwell method or whatever it’s called, others more based on personal experience/ideas, but basically all of those don’t work well with math and physics.

So I made examples of how I take notes in physics and math, which based on what I’ve seen from professors and other students is pretty standard. (Blue text is commentary on the notes)

In math always start by defining the variables, because you will forget and you need to know all the assumptions you’ve made (like “did I define the function f as continuous, differentiable, bijective or just continuous and bijective?”). Drawings are good since they help visualise the abstract stuff (and look pretty), but not necessary. Always write down definitions, theorems, and lemmas, and ESPECIALLY their proofs. Exercises (both proof exercises and application exercises should be written down too, with varying detail based on how easy it is for you.

In math, and a bit less so in physics, you should always try to use mathematical symbols to shorten text. For the theorem I wrote what I would actually write in white, and below in blue I wrote the full, no symbol version of that. It’s pretty obvious which will be written down faster in class.

And never forget to write that sweet little quod erat demonstratum square at the end of a proof.

In physics the only thing you ALWAYS have to write down is a work through of an exercise or proof (this, of course, includes defining the variables, unless you’re the same variables as last time and can refer back to those). Since physics is about THE REAL WORLD you should strive to draw diagrams constantly, since sometimes you won’t be able to find a solution until you draw the diagram and examine the system (some proofs, especially those in optics, rely heavily on diagrams to explain what the fuck is even going on).

Unlike in math, in physics everything has a unit, which you should ALWAYS mark SOMEWHERE, because you might figure an exercise out solely based on your knowledge of units.

Guess who has not been using notion cause they’re not used to writing tasks down and marking them complete, nor doing them on time (hint: it’s me).

Somehow (thanks to focusing hard on it and working through it religiously) I actually get probability theory 2 now, but now functional analysis 2 is the issue (but at least the professor for this is normal).

I’ll be having my first tests in a few weeks and I am not emotionally ready for that.

I now have a bachelors degree! These are from the lab reports I speedran in order to graduate and get my diploma before Jaanipäev. Tomorrow or the day after I should be able to get my grubby little goblin hands on it.

I saw a bunch of people here posting their grades and hoo boy my arithmetic average across positive results is 2.56 or something out of 5 (5 is A, … , 1 is E which is still a passing grade).

Being unable to really work in the language of the program cucked me hard: first semester I lost a point or two on a chemistry test cause I only know element names in english and I honestly did not consider asking the professor.

Protip: you ARE ALLOWED to ask questions during a test or exam (unless your professor is an asshole and explicitly forbids it)

I successfully defended my thesis and got a ((high)) B (the girls got As and me and the boys got Bs), can’t wait to see the prophesied bloodshed tomorrow when the other half of my course defends.

My course started out with 60ish people for chem phy and matsci all together. Out of that 20 left after the first 1-2 semesters, and the people who are graduating on time rn are 11 physicists, 0 materials scientists, and idk probably like 10 chemists.

Sadly, even though I finished my bachelor’s stuff I gotta write 6 lab reports for optics cause unlike basically every other university mine waited until less than 10 people were allowed in a room together with masks so we could speedrun the labs themselves. I get that we gotta get acquainted with the equipment but still I want to not do anything for a bit reeeee

spent all day finalising june content for my patrons! all new/current fairy bonnet & saffron milk cap tier patrons will be receiving a bonus washi tape roll (one of my new designs) & bonus sticker sheet to celebrate the release of these new products in their june packages.

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would consider checking out my patreon & supporting me if you’d like to receive this content. I make printables & exclusive physical sticker sheets that are mailed to you. :)

packing washi orders and stressing about approaching law finals ✨

just posted a little update on my patreon about the bonus goodies that all fairy bonnet and saffron milk cap patrons will be receiving as part of the june packages!

to celebrate the release of my new washi rolls, as well as the launch of my new sticker collection on etsy, these patrons will be receiving one of my new washi rolls (of their choice) and bonus sticker sheet on top of their regular package.

16-Week Overview

Hello! I made some printables to help you plan and organize up to sixteen weeks. Why sixteen weeks? That’s approximately how long a semester is, so you can use this planner as a semester overview! Even if you’re not in school, 16 weeks is a good length of time to give you a big picture view without being too overwhelmed. These printables feature a row for each week and can also be used digitally.

Download + details here!

Don’t forget check out the other goods on my etsy shop – Everything’s under US$2.00!

Hope you enjoy the printables, and definitely let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. Have a lovely day :)

something about the moon during the fall looks brighter and bigger during the nights. maybe the moon has more time to shine with the sun going down earlier

thank you moon and stars for inspiring me every night ✨

recently, i have been using my journal to write my day, experiences, or whatever is in my mind. i have been bullet journaling for almost more than a year but i would only journal monthly/weekly spreads or any cute designs i get inspired from online. i plan my spreads in advance and sketch them out.

now since i’m just journaling my day, i don’t plan the spread instead let my brain do its thing and i love how they turn out!

la luna isn’t she beautiful?

something about the moon during the fall looks brighter and bigger during the nights. i guess the moon finally has more time to shine with the sun going down sooner.

which is why this month, i decided to bring back the black scrap paper into my spreads with the moon and stars inspiring me every night ✨

welcome to my corner

read more about my story on instagram @nochascorner

can we talk about how beautifully this week spread came out! i was nervous doodling the coffee bag and cups because i can be a perfectionist sometimes

every day is a fresh start

would you believe me if I told you that all the kraft paper is from a starbucks bag?

so last month i started creating weekly spreads on sunday’s versus creating it all under one day before the new month started. im doing the same thing for this month and i absolutely love it because I became more creative, more excited, and more wanting to use my weekly spreads.

do you create your weekly spread ahead of time or the day/week before?

love ur imperfections. even ur bullet journal spread.

july 15 //

hello week two of july! can you believe that we only have two full weeks left of july… and four weeks left of august… total of six weeks left of summer omg im not ready for this because i literally didn’t do anything fun this summer beside work. also I made plans last weekend and got ruined after I got a terrible sore throat and cold. feeling better now! thank you for your get well messages

don’t we love a hidden calendar?

july week uno! what do y’all think of this spread?

can u guess my fav color this month?

cute setup but will I complete it? we such see next month

but honestly, this must be my fav spread by far! guess what? i kinda bs it! my lesson of the day is let your mind make decision without hesitation and never overthink about a spread

april weekly spread

hello april im very excited this month and have so many ideas! apologize for being mia. ever since i got my job, ive been struggling creating content/spread for you all, however, i planned everything ahead of time so you’ll see me more here :)
