A study notebook, books, and a desk lamp. AI-generated illustration.

  • Today felt long, although I'm not even sure that's the right way to describe it. I had class and a lot of exam preparation to get through.

  • After getting home, I studied for about an hour and then took a break. It helped me focus when I got back to studying.

  • Dinner has been pretty basic lately because there's barely any food in my refrigerator. I need to sort out my meals after the exam.

  • I have exams on Thursday and Friday, along with other work to finish. This week is completely packed. I'm cooked.

  • One thing I noticed while studying is that trying to understand every topic perfectly takes too long. When I let go of some of that perfectionism, I moved faster. I wasn't exactly skimming; I just stopped trying to understand everything perfectly before moving on.

  • I think I'm actually understanding the material better this way, too. Maybe I'm also becoming more productive because the exam is getting closer.
