I use my Google Calendar and Habitica (gamify-your-life site/app) to keep track of due dates (A LOT right now since it's finals month). In addition for school and school related extracurriculars specifically I use a physical planner with checklists, no idea what one it is because my school provided them, but there's the month long spread where I put huge assignments/tests and for the weekly spreads I put in the minor things. It's not perfect since I do forget to write stuff down periodically but it is extremely useful.

I'd say the Kaweco Sport is pretty solid pocket fountain pen - though shitty paper can get stuck in fountain pen tines you can pretty easily get the fibres out with a verrry thin brass sheet, though the Sport will run you around 25-30 USD But if size isn't a huge issue something like the Platinum Preppy ($3-4 typically) is excellent, cheap starter FP, or the Pilot Varsity (also about $3) - this is technically a disposable pen but you can hack it to refill, see Google And depending on how absorbent the paper is it might bleed and/or feather (those tendril-y bits you might see with especially wet inks) a lot, might want to be intentional with your ink choices - I have heard very good things about Noodler's X-Feather Black Another thing to note is nib size, a finer nib (within the same line/style of nib) will write thinner/feather less but it's going to dig fibres up more...because...physics? edit: forgot to mention, can put ink in a plastic lab vial or something and then you have a pen and ink that typically lasts me a few days with prolific multi-page notetaking

8 minutes ago, greenhorn said:Isn't doing eye make up comparable to framing a picture? Not that I find make up that necessary.
I would disagree with that on the premise that the majority of eye makeup I see is overdone to the point of being larger than the eye itself, frames are not supposed to be double the size of the painting.
Consider how much surface area in this pic is the eyeball, and how much is makeup. Also when you look at this, you're seeing the colors of the makeup first, bright and vivid. it actually takes away from looking at the eye. It's a distraction basically. A good frame does not distract from the art, it merely provides accent and space for the art to exist. Eye makeup is downplaying the eye, which is what you're supposed to be looking at. There's some that isn't overdone, but the most of what I see is, and the picture above isn't even on the wilder side of eye makeup. This is me ranting a bit, but I genuinely have issues with most forms of makeup these days, and eyes are some of the worst offenders.

I see your point, but I have also seen examples of ridiculous frames that are way too big and way too "shiny" so that they distract from the picture. Of course, as in everything, quality matters. In your example the make up was way overdone imho, but a decent make up done with some finesse can accentuate features of the eye just like a well chosen frame can go well with a picture.
In the end, the thing about make up is that the person wearing it has to be happy about it, regardless of what others might think. Certain appearances might appeal to some and don't appeal to others.
What is a shame is that some people who are naturally beautiful feel the need to apply large amounts of make up. I believe that in society, there is an issue with expectations forced onto others and with self-confidence. -

Furthermore I'd argue the eye is already beautiful and already is accentuated by the eyelashes and eyebrows and eyelids, so further framing always feels too much for me

Man...fuck COVID "I've just acknowledged it that I'm going to get it at some point" - at least two teachers I have. Out of 2k students and 120~ staff, we have almost 100 cases right now, up from almost 70 yesterday, not counting the people that haven't reported cases, highest case count out of the 48 schools in the district It has become very real, very quickly. Attendance has also gone to shit, ~200 absent students on Wednesday, apparently ~400 on Thursday or Friday. there was barely 1/2 of the class there in one of my classes Physical distancing is non-existent in some classrooms, think "table groups" but you have at least 10 of them in a room. And you have people within 50cm of each other. Or you just have individual desks lined up but you can slap people without much effort if you stretch your arm out. and the cafeteria and commons during lunch! what is this! hence why I started eating sitting on the ground in a hallway in October and generally alone They used to send out an email every time someone tested positive...that policy lasted longer than I expected I'm surprised and slightly appalled that we haven't gone back to virtual or hybrid Lack of staffing has caused the test-to-stay/shorten quarantine/return programs to be temporarily suspended - at least 4 school nurses in my district serve at least 4 schools, I can't overstate my gratitude for them

It really depends on the subject and if I'm actually interested vs forced to do it for school. World languages - repetition, only taking the course so I can actually graduate Natural/human sciences - I try to find mnemonics or a song, otherwise I just read articles Speeches - ew also pure repetition Maths - practise? though I still mostly hate it Physical procedure like assembly of something - I just do it a few times then I'm usually fine My motivation behind learning vs just memorise and regurgitate are very different...

i'm not lactose intolerant, but I'm still not going, swiss cheese is terrible XD
Oh, that's unfortunated that you don't like Swiss cheese. My history teacher said the Swiss make holes in cheese and mountains. The cheese holes are filled with air, the mountain holes are filled with gold and money.

Well, here's an analogy Someone is giving away an old car for free, but it doesn't drive at all While someone else is selling an car with a decent driving experience and good gas economy Sure, they are both cars, but in this case paying for the car is better than taking the free one

I once dissected a Cow's eye in Biology class. It was super hard to cut open even with a really sharp scalpel, mostly due to the fact that it was super slippery.
If I remember correctly, the eyes we had to dissect in class were hard to cut because they were still partially frozen. I wonder if the school had a separate freezer for those things.
