Day 10: What subject related book would you recommend to read?
It’s not directly related to architecture, but in general to design. It’s “The Design of Everyday Things” by Don Norman. It teaches about perception and human preferences. That’s a great literature to understand design.

✔️Norwegian Duolingo ✔️Attending Classes ✔️Keeping calm about losing a promoter ✔️Make new friends at uni
I had a very hard two days. They completely drained my emotions. This situation at the university led me to a breakdown. Today I managed to redirect me to a wonderful professor who will cooperate with me on my diploma. Maybe that's better. But what I experienced the previous days was hell. Nobody could tell me what to do. Neither dean's office nor dean. So these weren't the most productive days of my challenge, but I couldn't focus. I'll be back to normal tomorrow. Today, when it turned out that I will have a promoter, I was so emotional that I fell asleep within half an hour. Like I fainted. But I was not happy. I just accepted that fact and fell asleep. I still have mixed emotions...
Well. Have a good night and see you tomorrow. I’ll be in a better condition.

✔️Norwegian Duolingo ✔️Modeling housing structure for uni project ✔️Wrtie a technical description for uni project ✔️Finish making notes for ecology exam ✔️Drawing just for fun ✔️Attending classes, of course I didn't post every day because I didn't have enough time. The time of exams is approaching and the duties are increasing. They are not increasing quantitatively, but qualitatively. Completing projects is always the slowest thing to do. Still learning all this theory. This week will be difficult for me too. I have plans every day from early morning until late at night. And on top of that, I want to visiting my parents.

Day 11: Do you have any hobbies or special talents?
I love drawing. I love being creative. I have a lot of interests, and that’s my problem. Sometimes I cannot being focused on one activity. I love sculpting, painting, playing electric guitar, playing video games, crocheting, learning languages. But if I would choose, the one which is easier for me than to others, it will be drawing. I can call it talent, but I really don’t like to name it like that. I think all my skill is from practise.

Day 12: What’s a movie you enjoy that’s related to your field of study?
“12 Angry Man” from 1957 - not directly connected with my field, but I feel I have to share this title to you. I am really honored that the best and the smartest character is an architect. It’s a great movie. One of my fav, I can say.
This movie has a very simple plot, but it reveals the greatest human regrets, envy, beliefs. How subjective it all is depending on private experience. Yeah, a great movie. You have to watch it!
15/100 - failed, moved to the next day

Blue Monday, yo know. I had a real blue Monday. I had a car accident on the way to uni. I didn’t do anything, despite the norwegian duolingo after coming back home. I was emotionally exhausted. All in all I wasn’t hurt, and that’s the most important. I decided to move my 15th day of productivity to the next day of calendar. Sometimes life is like that. I have to accept that.

As you know, I had a car accident and I had to get a one day off. So.. Am back with my results. It’s not very impressive, but it’s all what I can do after that exhausting situation. ✔️ (every day I did) Norwegian Duolingo ✔️ finished modeling housing structure for uni project ✔️ took and passed BIM exam ✔️ wrote ecology exam ✔️ attended classes, of course ✔️ visited my parents ✔️ met my old friend Some of you can be not sure why I listed social things in productivity list. You know, during previous years I had some problems with dealing my social life with studying. Now I’m trying to connect it and I celebrate every single meeting with others. It helps me with staying in touch with people, not just dive deep into studying.

Yesterday I saw the first friend I met at the new university who dropped out of college. It was a strange meeting. I'm always surprised how people think I'm super brainy. Also that evening, a super-duper friend came over and bought me a new sketchbook to sit down and draw with me once a week for an hour. Isn't that adorable? Plus, she brought real bubble tea with real tapioca, not gummies. What a nice evening it was! Sometimes, when I’m commuting, I think that I’m really lucky person. I meet really nice people on my path. I spent a great time. I have a great support system. No more tears!

First month is behind me! It was such a great time. I feel much more organized and my work is more systematic.
✔️ Norwegian Duolingo ✔️ Presented my project at uni classes ✔️ Passed physics exam!!! ✔️ Had diploma consultation ✔️ Baked a cake ✔️ Cooked a soup
Now let me tell you about the irony of being systematic. I promised myself that I would do things on time and not put them off. Today I had a project presentation at the university and I was the only one who NOT stayed up all night to finish the work. I was just THAT well prepared that I finished on time and could sleep. You don't even know how remorse I had that I didn't stay up at night and polish this project. That I could have done better. If I slept, it means I didn't give it my all. OMG but college is ruining the brain.
It's good that I put my health above my studies anyway. I also talked to a therapist about it. She always reminds me of my eternal dissatisfaction with myself and my work.
Remember to appreciate yourself! Take care of yourself this evening.
I am formatting my computer. This means only one thing - a serious cleaning and a new beginning! I got my master's degree a month ago, so it's time to finally start to direct my future and professional life. Studyblr is a huge motivation for me, which is why I will not give up on it despite the end of my studies. will continue to use it as a motivator for further learning purposes!
what am i doing with my life
I always feel like I'm wasting my time playing The Sims. I could do all these activities in real life. Often my characters are similar to me, and despite it I plan their time better than I do for myself. All these decisions seems so easy in The Sims. If you want to lose weight, you go to the gym or go jogging. If you want to paint better - you paint a lot. If you want to raise some of your qualifications - you read books on the subject. Why is it not so easy in real life? Why don't I just sit down and start painting if I really want to be better painter? In The Sims 4 they have fears of failure (like me hehe), and I boldly confront them with it. It's time to get inspired by Sims life, hahahah
Hei!
I graduated, just got my diploma, and I feel like it's time to pull myself together. I've been drifting in the void for a few weeks and resting wondering what's next, but it's time to start a productive time...
I will try to reactivate my 100 days of productivity challenge, but I will write a separate post about it, starting it. So far my goal is to make a great portfolio, intensively learning Norwegian, daily yoga and daily drawing. I will start looking for a job in November or December. I'm taking my time, because I've already come across a terrible place that exploits young people and their energy.
I'm starting my new bullet journal and reaching my goals!
I'm on my vacation. I'm trying to relax, sometimes it's difficult. But I need it to be productive when I'm back. I already felt that I needed a reset. For the first three days, I completely cut off my brain from problems. Just swimming, reading and lying down. Now, the closer I get to leaving, the harder it is for me to relax. I'm already thinking about what I will do at home, how I will arrange my schedule and calendar. But the important thing is that I rested. I really relaxed. Everyone should give themselves this space for pure rest.
I have a pretty productive time, since I've seen the difference between "I CAN'T" and "I DON'T WANT TO". Every time I have to do some difficult stuff and my brain tells me that I have no abillities to accomplish those tasks, I ask myself - Do I want to do it? Do I want to see the result? Like from the bottom of my heart - do I want it?! Or can I do it just because it's obligation? I used to be scared of things, that I'm not perfect in the first attempt. I'm afraid of failure. And now, when I ask myself DO YOU REALLY WANT IT? WE CAN DO IT IF YOU JUST WANT IT, NO MATTER OF THE RESULT. JUST START AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. And oh my God, this may sound stupid, but I've been trying a lot of things with this mindset over the last two days. New software, new application, new art media, new routines.
Today is the day to make New Year's resolutions. I love doing this! Like every year, I think the next one will be even better. For now, that's what's happening. An upward trend. Today I'm also planning my tasks for this week, because I'm going home for the Xmas and I have work commitments. The sheet in the photo comes from printables from @emmastudies.
I also went back to crocheting. On the left is a piece of the napkin pattern I'm making.
And the best info of this post: I GOT THE DREAM TAMAGOTCHI WITH A COLOR DISPLAY FROM MY PARTNER! I've been dreaming about this since I found out that there are Tamagotchis with color displays, so for about… 11 years! I know, I'm a little bit too old for toys like this, but whatever. I love it - no matter how old I am !!!
Christmas at home is always a difficult time for me. My parents are very intense and extroverted people, and living in another city has made me lost the habit of their pace. I have managed to achieve peace and slow down in my life, but when I return to my family home, everything is three times faster and three times louder. That's why this year I'm sitting in a rocking chair and crocheting, it gives me some sense of security.
Merry Christmas everyone!
The holidays made me tired and took all my energy and motivation out of me. Before I left, I had so much willingness to act. I hope I can put my head back together. For now, I'm still crocheting because it takes my mind off things. I made two napkins and gave them to my parents, now I'm planning a tablecloth that I'll keep for myself. It relaxes me and the repetition is a bit like meditation. However, I already feel that I am running away from reality too much. It's time to get back on track..
