hello it's seo from tbhstudying and i'm here with an august plan with me
that is hopefully a little bit more on time than the last plan with me video
and like the last time i'm going to start with the materials and the colors
that i use for this plan with me. you guys seem to really like the
swatches so here we go again. first up we have the tombow dual brush
pen in the color asparagus and the shade number 192. as always i
will list and link everything in the description down below
so feel free to skip ahead and check the description later
so after that i used the kuretake zig brushable in fawn
i mainly use the lighter end of the pen for the majority of the shading and the
coloring, but i did use the darker end of the pen
for a little bit of the branches that i drew later on in the video and
then i used some random grey marker from a crayola super tip pack
they don't have any shade numbers or shade
names on the pack or listed on the markers themselves but i did get this
from the 50 pack. and then after that i used the uni signo
gold gel pen, i believe this is .7 or 1.0?
and the pilot g2 silver gel pen which i think is 0.7 or 0.5 i can double check
later on. then i use the 0.7 pentel energel pen
for the majority of the outlining and the writing in this video and a tiny
tiny bit of the zebra sarasa pen in 0.5. here we have the swatches and the colors.
so after that let us go into the july flipthrough. i really appreciated all the lovely
comments you guys left on my last plan with me video so for this month i
tried to do whatever i wanted within the month and stop caring about
sticking to some theme or sticking to some expectation that i think you guys
have for me. instead i consistently did things that
functionally worked for me such as the hourly schedule for my busier days
people have asked me what my color key for this
is and for this month i used pink yellow and grey. pink and yellow were for
classes labs and events. i just alternated colors if the events
were next to each other on the schedule since it would be confusing to have a
giant block of pink and then gray represented the amount of
time that i studied or worked that day or they represented the workouts that i
did that day. i don't really stick to a color code 100%
of the time. i typically change it depending on my mood
or the color palette for the month. this month i used a lot of the
printables from cheyenne barton's patreon
as well as stickers from maggie's shop itspaperco for
the stickers and the little fun splashes of color. i've been really enjoying the
animal crossing stickers in particular from itspaperco. it's like i'm living vicariously through the animal crossing
hype since i don't have a nintendo switch
i'd really like one but right now that's not as financially feasible for me
and i'd probably waste a lot of my time on it instead of studying or working
maybe i'll get one in the future but for now i'll just look at everyone's
beautiful animal crossing islands and just really vicariously live through
all of you guys. although i do love isabelle, i think she's my favorite animal crossing character
now for the august theme! i chose to go with a folklore theme that was short
simple and on one page rather than the whole spread
taylor swift came out with a surprise album and quite honestly i don't really
follow taylor swift, so this came out of the blue quite
frankly, i'm not as obsessed with her music
compared to someone like hozier. don't get me wrong i love miss taylor's
music and a lot of her old music strikes the perfect note of nostalgia for me
because it's what i used to listen with my sister
but i don't have her albums or her releases as memorized compared to other
artists that i follow but this one? folklore?
it's like she looked at my spotify discovery and went
"hmm i think seo deserves rights this month" and then passed me this album
it's just so good! it was love from first listen and
my god it delivered! my favorites from the album
are "mirrorball", "seven", and "august" and right now, i think "august" is winning the title
of my personal favorite and how convenient since you know it's august
i do love the bridge in "seven" though it
makes me want to cry and it's just so good but as a cohesive whole, "august"
is probably my favorite. "mirrorball" reminds me a lot of clairo actually and i feel like the lyrics are
calling me out specifically in "mirrorball."
again it's like miss taylor looked at me, looked up my spotify and then put me on blast
delightful! if you didn't catch it on my instagram, i asked you all what your favorite songs
were and the popular consensus was "the last great american dynasty" and "betty" which you know
i support that, they're good songs and i see that we are reclaiming "betty" for the gays which i love
but the august stans? the intellectuals who love seven? the people with peak taste who like mirrorball?
i was sorely disappointed in your lack of ability to show up on that poll
okay okay jokes aside you can like or dislike whatever you want from folklore
everyone has different music tastes but do let me know what your favorite
song or your favorite thing about folklore is in the comments
because i'm a curious curious gal. actually let me know what your least
favorite is too! my least favorite song was probably
"epiphany" and i will admit that a lot of the songs do
sound the same during the first time you listen through the album
i don't mind that because i like this kind of vibe from music but if this is
new to you, i totally get why the album would sound the same
since we're on the topic of music, i'll go through what i was listening the most
hidden citizens makes a lot of epic covers and versions of popular songs
and one of my favorites is their cover of "paint it black"
however this month their version of "moonlight sonata" and
"i ran" were my top favorites from them. someone on instagram also recommended
the aces to me and although i've only been listening for a few days
i'm really excited by their sounds and their lyrics
"lost angeles" is the last one i listened to so that's the one that's standing out
most of my memory right now. one of my roommates from college made me
a playlist and some of my favorites from that have been
"nicknames" by dayglow, "kingston" by faye webster
and "the less i know the better" by tame impala. i've also been listening to a lot
of music from rex orange county. "sunflower" was the first song i heard but
i also like "best friend" and overall the vibes from his music are pretty good
during the month of july i continued to watch a lot of media which is rare for me
i'm not the type of person to sit down and watch tv or movies
because i find it hard to sit still for that long without having something to do
with my hands but this past month i watched both
seasons of fleabag. both of my friends from college and
ashley from bestdressed recommended this to me
and it really did live up to the hype! it's about a woman living in london
who's going through a rough time after her mother and best friend died
well, her mother and her best friend, they're not both the same people but
anyways, as morbid as the setup might sound
it truly is hilarious! there's a lot of fourth wall breaking
a good chunk of dirty humor and the second season just really hit me in the
feelings. and i also continued watching avatar the last airbender this month
i've never watched it before so every monday, my friends from college and i watch it together
we finished season one and season two. well i had to miss a night to study for
physics and i missed the wrap up to season two so i'll catch up on my own
time, but overall i really enjoyed the series
and i get what the hype is about! i do prefer season two over season one
so far and if i were to be a bender, i think i'd probably be a firebender
personality wise. after that maybe air? i think i'm the
furthest thing from an earthbender though
i also watched hamilton with my friends and this is the first time i watched
hamilton either as a stage recording or in person
i can see why it's so popular with people now! it was a really cool and
interesting experience. i'm not well versed in musicals nor have
i really watched any so it was a nice new, i guess, experience
i also went to a virtual medical conference about the
ummmmm big c i don't really want to get demonetized so i'm going to call it the
big c.... anyways i attended it and different
researchers and doctors talked about antibody and cellular responses to the
big c, pediatric manifestations of the big c, all that. i don't think there's a transcription or
recording that you guys have open access to
i don't know, i don't know, and this isn't a book or anything but
rather a website it's called transformharm.com and it's a resource
hub created by mariane kaba and it has a number of fascinating and
informative articles about transformative and restorative justice
community accountability, healing justice, etc. i would highly
highly recommend that you check it out especially considering the current state
of things. i've also really been enjoying the
instagram @soyouwanttotalkabout. it creates a lot of different
infographics about different political issues
and just human rights things and different
terms people use so it's been a really informative instagram account. i would
highly recommend that as well and during july i finished my first summer quarter of physics
and now i'm on my second. i did a lot better in mechanics than i thought i would, so i was tricked
into thinking that i liked physics....... boy was i wrong
electricity and magnetism came during second quarter out of the blue
and just punched me in the gut.... it was betrayal of the highest order
okay melodrama aside, i'm not having a great time in physics but i'm working through it
that's what i'm up to. health-wise i'm still in a bit of a
rough spot physically and mentally but i schedule some appointments in august
and that's all i really have for personal updates
that's what's up with me and that's what's up with this plan with me! it's
short and sweet and simple and to the point
and it's personally what i needed from a monthly page
thank you so much for watching! this was a lovely chat between you and me
and at this point these plan with me feel like a monthly check-in between us
which i like. let me know how you are doing what your
plans for august is, all that. i'd love to know how you guys are doing and i'm wishing you all the best
and i will see you in the next video. bye!
