Assalamualaikum and hi guys!
I'm trying my best to post regularly, trying to make my bluff in earlier post a reality. I even made a list for future posts! 😁
So this is a good start right? Somewhat my unwritten new year resolution (goodness I am so late 😂)
So its 2017! When new year comes it is always a hype for everyone to start anew and get a new book of life! For some, new year means upgrading school life and be cooler than before 😎
While a month has passed for primary and secondary schools, I've just started my new semester yesterday! (I sound like a joy but really I do) During my semester break, I was doing nothing about college and reading, I was so not anticipating to go back to Gombak. I even dreaded it. But the time must come. Huh.
So I have to be realistic. New semester about to start, I'm gonna be a second year student, there is no way I can evade education. Hah. Education guys! I had to be prepared! Need to climb all that good grades and cgpa for a better future
(sun is blinding upfront). Wow.
So what did I do? Well actually I did nothing. I started preparing when I packed my things for Gombak the day before departure (LOL), and that are mostly clothes and food. But I need to get into the spirit of learning! Then I have this one instagram account, dedicated just for studying, named @nurmiastudious . So I opened that instagram, and updated pictures of my books and such, and scrolled through other people's studygram (short form for
study instagram , like
studyblr). And... it worked! Well, a bit.
Okay my motivation rose a bit. Got inspirations to study from super-shockingly-good students all over the world. And my mom and sis brainwashed me to aim for higher. Higher what?
Grapes. 😂
Then in Gombak, the night before my classes starts, I checked my pre-registered subjects and the venues for tomorrow. Packed my things. Update my bullet journal (I just started late January). Watched some study vlogs by @waystostudy. I swear her videos are so inspiring you that don't even realise you are procrastinating watching her studying. After all that no-fuss I pretended that I was prepared. Because I didn't. Really.
I ACTUALLY GOT INTO THE WRONG CLASSES TWICE! TWICE GUYS! Can you believe it? And it was all because my classes started on Tuesday, and I was looking on my Monday schedule. Luckily I didn't miss any class because of my mishap. Dang girl.
However-so, I was actually productive that day! This is all thanks to my own created bullet journal, I'm a bit more organised than before with all my realistic to-do-list. (
angkat bakul).
But it's true!
Aside from my classes, I also spent my day updating my study planner. Printed out new Semester Planner and My Study Planner 6 sets (one for each subject) that I used for last semester. The study planner was really helpful with my studies last time. I get to tracked on topics of each subjects everyday and plan my study sessions! I got these two printable planners from theorganisedstudent.tumblr . You guys should check it out. She prepared a lot of other printables, but I'm using only these two for my studies.

While I was doing my study planner. |
However, I forgot to print my class logs. Because I made the template by myself, so I kinda forgot about it. When I was sorting the planners in my study file, it was then I noticed. And I had to make a new one. Class logs is to jot down lessons for sessions each classes. So everyday I'll write down the topics discussed according to each subject. I got both study planner and class logs idea from a senior in my university. I'll share my class logs with you guys later.

Completed semester's planner. And an example of class logs. |
So that was how my messy preparation and clumsy 1st day went by. But all in all it was all good. I enjoyed my day. And seriously watching waystostudy videos are so inspiring you'll get motivated just by watching her videos! I can't get out of myself her spirits in studying! I'm smeared with her spirits! HAHA
My day ended really early, I
fainted as soon as I cleaned myself . So so tired.
Thats it guys. How my 1st day of my new semester went by. I don't know if this will help you guys with your studies, I don't share many tips, but I hope it will! Btw don't forget to check out my studygram @nurmiastudious !
Have a nice day!
