A good motivation to read during the study period is to take the book from the library and read it until the deadline when you have to bring it back to the library. Only 120 pages to go and the library is open until 6 p.m. My chocolate snack is already eaten (hehe), time to get my after-breakfast tea and enjoy the reading. Some people are sad when the book is over, but I like to read story till the end 😊
Just some studying between lectures 😊

Can't believe it's already middle of March! Austrian summer semester started already 2 weeks ago! 🙈
2 things I couldn't do if I would study in the library - use markers in the book and stay there till night 😁 also when I go to library I feel like I need to be prepared for everything so I take a bunch of stuff with me and still forget something important.. wish you all many productive hours studying for exams 😉❤
Hi everybody! I wish you all a very very happy New Year! Let 2018 be the beginning of anything you want, with a lot of new opportunities, lessons and memories! ❤ It's been a long time since I posted here, the truth is, I have got a math test assignments which are controlled every week in this semester and they take all my time and all my nerves. And as it's not enough, I also must write exams every 2 or 3 weeks since September! And there isn't just enough time for aesthetics, there's barely time for the time management! 😅 there are going to be 4 exams more in next two months and the organic chemistry lab practicals... so I stay pretty busy in the near future as well 😥 the only thing I do to destress my self is playing some video games over some weekend free time or crocheting during evening Netflix sessions.. I'm interested in what are you all doing when you got stress overload? 😉
Yeast as a model organism.. great, now I want to bake something..
My first lonely evening in September.. So I made a wee photo session with my bujo xD

I was waiting for my boyfriend and doodling in Photoshop and got some funny result which ended as a sticker in my bujo 😄
One exam is done - 9 to go, thanks God they are in September 😄 Only 7 lectures and complete notebook is full Oo I even had to tape 3 sheet more in it...
My week so far - had my exams this Friday. I think I deserved one lazy Sunday ;)
I actually also tried another app with pomodoro technic last week and I must confess this isn’t good for me. I figured out that I actually only wait from break till break. My concentration just wasn’t good enough, doesn’t matter whether it have been 20 or 30 minutes. And my breaks grew even longer after 4 periods because I felt very tired from learning.
With forest I just push the trees on maximum and start learning, after 2 hours I make break as long as I need - it can be only 10 minutes or 1 hour, and when I am relaxed I start concentrating again. And I could write this week almost my whole summary - last week I did only one (but very long) chapter. And so here is my forest with some summer lemon trees ;)
me, after a hell week of learning and writing an exam
