  • 2011-2012, from the eyes of my agenda

    This is a continuation of my last blog post, where I just wanted to jot down anything jot-worthy from my 2010-2011 weekly planner.  

    This is actually when I blogged the most, because the first semester of this is all during my overcoming of my break-up and my depression!  So I thought it was really interesting to see it in this light.  Mostly I just talk about my lab and my friends. :) It's kind of cute!  It's also a little nostalgic, because just like in '10-'11, there's name tha

    Another interesting thing (maybe... "interesting" is not the right word) is that I was way more organized and active in my 2011-2012 planner than in my 2010-2011.

    This was the average week in '10...

    While this was the average week in '11...

    Whew, what lab does to a girl!  My agenda upkeep falls a lot in Spring semester, and I'm not totally sure why -- if it's because I got into the groove of lab, or if it's the same as my Xanga, where I even plan less when I have close friends to talk with, let alone blog less.  My god.
