Photos from this week. I've been a bit busy this week, but at least I'm enjoying this semester's courses, especially Mineral Deposits and Ore Mineralogy. The pale pink mineral seen in the second picture is a Bornite! ✨️

Today, I choose to give my best.

Day Six of the Tranquil's winter studying challenge: If you could write any research paper or study any niche area within your field, what would you study? OR, if this doesn't apply to you, what field of study do you want to go into?

I would love to study international economics

Monday, november 22.

I really didn’t want to study today. None the less I sat down at my desk and tried.

It wasn’t very efficient, but every little bit helps!

And! Not wanting to study, motivated me to clean my room✨ So today is a win!

This song makes me feel peaceful, even though I don’t understand the lyrics😂:

good afternoon from your resident med student. had the first phase of my research competition at 10am today. pretty simple and was very general so I’m sure I (and almost everyone else who signed up) passed. currently studying mechanisms of ventilation. will be taking a quick lunch break soon.

last day of the first week back at uni. as much as I love gloomy weather, it’s been reflecting on my mood a bit too much. have a lot of studying to do over the weekend + USMLE prep.

My hardcover copy of ‘On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous’ by Ocean Vuong arrived today . I started reading it on my kindle a month ago but its one of those books that you just have to have a physical copy of . Even though I’m on Eid break, I’ve been spending most of my days preparing for my exam that’s in 22 days . I have to remind myself that this is for my future, especially when all I want to do is rest .

Analyzing past papers to get a sense of what to expect in the entrance exam amid the tensions throughout the nation.

The beginning of a new month✨🌅

Earlier this month, i started comparing myself with other people’s progress and it made me really insecure. I felt so down afterwards and it made me feel like my efforts were not enough.

This day, i finally decided to jot down all my feelings in a journal and reflect on things i needed to do in order for me to prevent being so harsh with my self.

I realized that comparing myself with other people is just so bad for my mental health and it’s not in any way helping with my progress as a med student and as a person. I know for myself that I cannot prevent myself from being jealous with other people’s lives (let’s be real here shall we) as it’s part of how we’re built as humans.

Sooo, in order for me to be at peace, i unfollowed and muted some of the people that’s making me feel so insecure. (Huhu im so sorry, im the problem here and not those people who I unfollowed)

I listed all my monthly achievements (since march) and failures then reflected on the things that i can improve on myself based on what I previously wrote.

I just wish this works and this makes me stop comparing myself for the next few months. I just can’t help being insecure sometimes:(((

Nothing in mind, just focusing on studying💖🌸

With taking care of yourself, of course :')

Don’t lower your standards. Increase the effort.

Had a pretty perfect weekend

Ah I missed my old study space...

My desk was wide and free. I could fit many things sometimes but when I wanted spacious, it was what I needed.

This was from my first psychology exam studying.

The date: March 2020

The time things were about to change :')

for tomorrow's chemistry paper 🫠🖐️

Theorem: Take a circle, the area of this circle is the same as area of a right triangle that has one leg equal to the radius and one leg equal to the circumference of the circle..

A long time ago in a faraway land people led simple lives by the means of agriculture. There was plenty of food to eat and to be merry. They had roofs on their head and fresh river water flowing nearby. Life seemed perfect but it was not. Every year when the rains 🌂 began, the river nearby would flood into the village and destroy their lands and homes. The people in the village would move to a nearby village for shelter with their cattle. When the rain stopped they used to come back and each time they came back they found their place in destruction. Their houses had to be rebuilt and their lands had to be outlined again. Fights were a common scene on how the outline was before the water washed it away. So the concept of the area came to maintain peace.

Finding areas of lands made with straight lines was easy but how to find the area of a land that is a curve ?

Firstly instead of taking a land made up of crazy curves let's take a land made up of the simplest curve, the circle.Draw a circle and fill in its area. Then divide it into large equal parts and arrange them in a rectangle.

It's not yet a perfect rectangle.So divide the circle in parts and try arranging these sections into a rectangle.You'll get a thing that starts looking like rectangle.

Now as you divide the circle more and more and try to arrange those parts you'll get a more nice rectangle. This more and more is nothing but the concept of limits in calculus.

So the area of the circle is the area of the rectangle.The area of the rectangle is Base×Height. Here the height of the rectangle is the radius of the circle and Base is equal to twice the area of the circle. So cut up the rectangle diagonally and you'll get a right-angled triangle with a Base as the radius of the circle and height as the circumference of a circle.
