brrly babbles about her awesome summer so far and the upcoming school year

hi guys!!! welcome to my first brrly babbles post in a while. i am currently in another country and i am having a very chill time. by allowing myself to take breaks i've noticed that i've been building my motivation back up to do work and it feels great to be myself again!!! no more burn-out brrly!!! this year instead of burning myself out the first half of school, i will make sure i stay on top of it the entire year. i'm going to take frequent breaks (if needed) and naps to recharge, especially since i'm in cross country and cross country drains my energy really quickly because you know....running eight miles does that to you...also my season starts when school starts so that's very silly.

i have quite a few extracurriculars to take care of but i'm excited this year! well i'm excited every year but this time i actually have a plan for my school year!! well not really a full-out PLAN but like some tricks and tips to keep myself energized and happy and not depressed like last year. WHOOP WHOOP! i'm going to try to focus more on my extracurriculars this year too. that's going to be a bit of a challenge since i'm taking ap chem and ap comp sci a and i'm very scared for ap chem. ap comp sci...not too much. 

currently for the summer i am working on...

  • the girls who code self-paced program
  • studying for the amc 10 because i didn't take it last year
  • ap chem summer hw
  • ap comp sci a summer hw
  • congressional app contest
  • athemath application
  • guitar and piano skills (i'm in a rock band and i want to be at my peak for them and because i like music lol)
  • self-studying viet because i want to be able to communicate fluently with my family members and i've never had a full conversation with my grandparents so i want to make sure that before they pass away, i can let them know how much i love them
  • planning for blood cancer campaign
earlier this summer i was taking ap chem prep and two classes at a community college (appreciation of theater and health) and it was kind of like hell. not that i would know what hell is like but it was very stressful. it was worse than school honestly. probably because i had no given schedule and had to decide on my own how to use my time. i guess i'm just bad at self-studying so i shall work on that!

i also went to muji and it's so awesome sauce!!!! i've been wanting to go to muji since 5th grade and i'm so happy that my childhood dreams have been fulfilled. i'm going back next week because i didn't buy some stuff that i meant to buy and because the papers in the binders i bought (2 ring) rip very easily because there's too little rings to hold the paper in place. 

lately i've been trying to improve my style as well. like i had an okay style last year but i didn't feel comfortable wearing the clothes that i did because they were tight and i don't exactly like my body so i've been finding clothes that look good on me but don't make me feel insecure too! i mean the tight clothes didn't look bad on me i just felt uncomfortable and insecure the entire day when i would wear them and i don't want to have to focus on my looks. i want to focus on my studies! and my life! and my mental health! not my stupid looks! 

i also have a set motivation to remind myself why i'm studying and working so hard in school in the first place. my family!!! my cousins, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents, my parents! i hope that i can make enough money to provide them with things that they want and to make them proud. this is possibly the best motivation i can give myself to work hard.

in fact i want to work right now so bye bye guys! i'm going to work on a girls who code module and then take a break and then do some amc 10 study notes and then take a break and then i'll work on my congressional app contest even though i don't want to. i think i'll just do some planning for my app. i'm going to do that first actually because it's the thing i want to do least and if i do that first i'll be able to finish my day with my favorite things aka coding and math :))
