Day 114: No guarantees

What went well?

Finished my first draft of my sociology of education take-home exam.
Found this amazing cover of Let it Go. I am so obsessed with it!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXqWVWHW8dA
Cooked. So I officially don't have to cook again!!!!!!

What did I learn?

Coffee doesn't guarantee productivity and focus.
I need to deliberately schedule in at least one thing, preferably with people, on empty days, because otherwise my productivity plummets - it's about setting healthy limitations!
In fact, looks like today was my least productive day ever...Wow.

What's this blog about?

Hi! I'm Jessie, in my final year of my BA (Psychology) at the University of Melbourne. But before I finish up there, I'm heading off on exchange at the University of Pennsylvania (hence the name of the blog - Daily Pennings, haha) for a semester.

So there are two main reasons why this blog exists: For others, and for myself.

This blog exists so that my friends and family can see what I'm up to if they're curious. I also hope that it can serve as a resource for other students who are considering an exchange (or a degree) at Penn, in terms of the culture of the school and the US, and the practicalities of being abroad.

Essentially, though, this blog will serve as a public journal. I plan to spend just 10 minutes at the end of each day writing a quick, simple summary of the day, including highlights and something I learned. This way, it'll be an accurate reflection of what actually happened on exchange, and it will also encourage me to reflect daily, which to me is important for self-awareness and living consciously, and therefore making the most of the exchange (and life), hopefully.

If you find anything here interesting or useful, or if you're curious about anything, please leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you! :)
