C-Sunday

Watching the student-life tradition from a slight distance, then getting socialising-sniped late at night.

Noise around productivity

A day that was hard to evaluate, with some work, some rot, the gym, and a missed meditation opportunity.

The second exam

A better exam, punting in the afternoon, and trying to reset before more work.

Materials exam

A difficult exam, a bike accident, helping a friend move, and a useful identity realisation.

The day before

Energy came back close to the exam, along with nerves about the parts that cannot simply be derived.

Exam eve's eve

A more difficult day, but also a useful distinction between stress, anxiety, and exam pressure.

I did it again!

I'm actually _hoping_ this will be a quick one, because if it isn't I fear the habit won't last!

I did it!

What's going on

Today will hopefully be the final day of no papers. I seriously feel nothing other than a need to turn things around given how imminent exams are and I was expecting to talk about how crazy I feel but actually ended up forming a bit of a plan.

Getting out there

I probably could have also called this blog-init. It's my meta-introduction justifying writing when nobody minds, but alas I was keen to say why I'm doing this and it's as good a place to start as ever. Welcome aboard! It feels weird welcoming others when it's me joining, I suppose welcome me!
