Fan & Study Habbits

 NGL I'm the biggest procrastinator of the world. Yes, part of it is that I'm waiting for inspiration to light my fire and in the end generally it's just my butt to get to the paper done.

It's challenging to stay focused. I have probably always had a short attention span. So this means I have to take a lot of breaks. And sometimes, I lose track of time.

This means I probably bother people when I shouldn't. But it's always great to catch up with roomies and of course, get their take on studying habits too. Yes, there is an art to being alone, and its a journey getting to that place.

I used to think the library was the place to go to study like in all those wonderful Asian dramas I watch, but these days usually Ollie is there and I don't get much studying done. So it's best to find my mecca of studying in my own room. And yeah, I do that in bed and I'm in the comfiest of casual outfits. Depending on the weather or my temperature, I could be in my cozy shorts and tank or maybe jogging pants and hoodie. Of course, I need pillows and then of course the snacks. I do my best to drink water and stay away from all the caffeine. But having an electric kettle is a plus for some mint tea if need be. Recently, I have been told I take my notes all wrong. I was shocked when Professor Dewey noticed my artwork after class. "This won't do!" His harsh words didn't help matters. "Haven't you heard of the laptop?" He said I needed to type up the information and of course, less artwork. "But," I squinted back. "The little details are there to help me to remember stuff." He shook his head like I might be a lost cause. "Have you ever studied the tool kit on WORLD CAT?" (the huge library database) Of course, it was news to me. Was that what everyone else was doing? Evidently so. Thankfully, he brought up the link on my laptop and reminded me what I needed to be doing. "Biblio language is important, no matter what they say how the digital world is taking over. You'll need to know it." He left it at that as if it was my turn to make use of the information. So I've been doing my best to stay in my room. I only have contact with my friend Sean from back home at five on a Sunday evening. I eat meals with my roomies to touch base. And for Ollie, well, he is quite the distraction at the library. Even if he's not working he wants to hang-out as if we might make a date of it. So that's maybe a twice-a-week thing. And of course, I am staying out of social media for the most part. Yes, hitting the books can be stressful. There is also crochet and I do like my granny squares.
