Studyblr Introduction

Hi everyone! I have decided to start a studyblr myself. I have followed the community for some time now. It has been a great source of inspiration and I have admired the content so much, just wasn’t sure If I could do that too. With the switching to online classes, and summer semester of 2020 ending, I have so much work to do before the next semester starts, that I decided an extra kick of motivation is exactly what I need! I’m so exited about joining the community!  

About  me:

My name is Marija ( Ma:ri:ja: / m-ah-R-EE-y-ah )

Pronouns: She/ her, They/them

I’m 21

This fall I will be starting my second year studying environmental engineering

I love dancing. It is my favorite form of expression and brings me so much joy. My favorite forms of dancing is Slavic folk dancing and Cuban salsa. I was looking into joining new dance troupes/classes for folk dancing, but am currently not sure whether its safe to do so, due to COVID.

 Another old passion of mine is photography.  Over the last few years I feel like I have put this aside. I am so exited to get back into this and explore this in a more academic level. I want to get photography theory, and composition books.

I have recently started taking a lot of walks. So i might post pictures I take on my walks. 

I take most of my notes in Cyrilic (and cursive Cyrillic) 

Academics:

I studied environmental science with the focus on ecology for a year before deciding to switch my major (also changed schools) to environmental engineering.  

Classes start in October for me. Usually its October 1st, but it might be pushed back due to to some end of year exam changes because of COVID.

I will be taking Differential equations, Thermodynamics, Organic chemistry, Analytical chemistry, Economics is engineering, and one more subject on which I still haven’t decided yet. (It will be ether Introduction to chemical engineering or Functioning of biological systems).

My classes will be mostly held online, but we will go in person for labs in small groups. I’m just hoping this semester will be organized better, because the last one was in shambles.

I am currently taking all of my exams in person at the school building.

What I am currently working on:

I am taking most of my exams from the last two semesters until the end of September. In the state I live in it was illegal to conduct exams online, so all of our exams, and evaluations were postponed until the summer. They have since changed the law in an expedited process, but many schools do not practice it because the infrastructure is not there. 

Making the space I live in more comfortable and inviting.

Studyblrs that insipre me:

My main blog is @marijastriving, and I follow from there. Please be patient with me while I figure this whole tumblr side blog thing.

Again, I’m super exited to join the community!
