4.28-5.3

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

Celebrating international day of women and girls in STEM because in 2025 there are still men who will say to other men behind your back that you only got certain opportunities because you're a girl and/or because of your looks and/or because other men are attracted to you

Today’s Study Space 🎋🪷🍊

Today my plan is to write another journal entry in my diary, as well as my Form Journal. Been feeling pretty tired despite sleeping well last night. Narcolepsy sucks like that. I love the quote in my Form journal today. “Progress over perfection.”

mutuals. c'mere. this is a checkpoint. i am checking in. i am wrapping you in a blanket and giving you a nice warm drink. also some pretty flowers. it will be ok.

i don't "date" and i don't "chill" and i don't "hang out." i make pacts. i swear oaths. i forge unbreakable bonds. this makes me a cool breezy person to take on road trips et cetera

Hey guys! I hope everyone’s had a great start to their week.

I’m only working 3 days this week before going on a little weekend away with my boyfriend, so I’m trying to deal with the fact I probably won’t get a lot of work done. Still, I’m prioritising the corrections I was asked to make to my upgrade report as I need to have that over and done with before I go, and I’m very happy to report I’m almost finished! I should be able to wrap it up today.

In terms of experiments, I’m getting back in the lab this week after taking a little break and starting slow with some protein digestions. Nothing too difficult, but I was too stressed and low to do it last week unfortunately.

Otherwise, I plan to continue with some coding and statistics, just to make sure my last day is relatively chill, and when I come back from vacation I can attack the longer tasks again.

I hope everyone is feeling good and refreshed after the weekend. Remember: you can achieve whatever goal you set your mind to, just take it slow!!

listening to Muse: Live at Rome Olympic Stadium. apparently the vibe rn is 2006 on average

*Somewhat* productive day

Spanning tree protocol and IEEE standards all day long :) I passed my last class (not web dev, that one is in break jail). Working on the Network+ certification now

I had some time to read in a café. I haven't done this in a while because of my schedule and some adverse events in life, hehe. But today, I had time. I'm grateful for these little moments. :) By the way, I ordered my favorite matcha latte. 🍵
