The devil works hard, but librarians work harder. I put in an ILL request and they sent me an email with the reading 20 minutes later.

Last undergraduate lecture 🎉

I was torn between making an April to-do list or not. This is really the last month of the semester since finals are the week of May 4th. The last item on the list feels like a bit of a cop-out but a list doesn't feel complete without at least three things on it. [ ] fill out two scholarship applications

[ ] submit some sort of creative writing somewhere

[ ] be in good shape for finals-- ideally, a B or C on the final/final project should get me to an A in the class. I find it more stressful when I have to get an A on the final in order to get an A overall, even though I know I can probably do it.

(I initially felt like I should put more on it but I also know that conferences are going to take up quite a bit of time this month as well.)

Update on that to-do list:

[ ] fill out two scholarship applications- I did not do this. Got that research grant but I filled that out in February so it does not count for April even though I received the check just yesterday. I don't know how an entire month went by without filling out any new scholarship applications but I'll make up for it in the summer.

[X] submit some sort of creative writing somewhere- submitted one of my papers to an essay contest, we'll see in mid-June if that amounts to anything, I'm counting it

[X] be in good shape for finals-- ideally, a B or C on the final/final project should get me to an A in the class. I find it more stressful when I have to get an A on the final in order to get an A overall, even though I know I can probably do it- This one I did. I think all As are in my future but I'll knock on wood now since I typed that.

I don't think the 7 pm double of espresso will save me the way 2 pm coffee sometimes does....

t minus one week until research presentations at my university

one of my last days of undergrad- what i did todayyy

8:30- woke up and snoozed my alarm 8:40- woke up for real, got dressed and packed my bag 9:00- breakfast was very yellow today: scrambled eggs, hashbrowns with mustard on them, orange juice/water. i half-cut it because juice is so sugary i will not sit still in class if i have straight up orange juice 9:30- class started, it was a presentation day and i'm sorry but if the presentations aren't on the exams then i am one of those people who quietly work on something else. i typed up a discussion post and gathered up peer reviewed references for one of our last projects in clinical methods. 10:45- class ended. i listened to some of my current audiobook while i started walking. i went to another campus nearby that has a good sushi place. the walk was very nice because everything is in full bloom right now. 11:20- arrived at my destination, snagged a table before the lunch rush. i started in on the last chapters for abnormal psych. on the last exam i got an A again, i want to finish the year the same way 12:30- lunch: lavender boba tea, seaweed salad, and a california roll. Had on Dreaming Spanish while I ate because I can't use chopsticks and take notes at the same time lmaoooo. Then shifted back to the notetaking. 1:20- packed up and walked back to my campus. On my way to the dorm, stopped at the library to print handouts for a different final project 2:00- got to the dorms, checked my mail, played some of this match three game 2:25- started some extra credit exam practice, added some cards to one of my anki decks 3:30- left for work 4:00- clocked in 8:30- break: salad with chicken 10:00- clocked out. since the closers had to empty the ice cream machine to clean it, our manager let us each take a cup of ice cream home so it wasn't wasted. and that's why they're my favorite. I ate it while i was driving 10:30- got home, buzzed my hair in the sink because it was getting a little long again, showered, and now it's time to go to bed

total steps: 15,832

I need to do some of these while preparing for finals. these posts really keep me on track regardless of whether anyone reads them or not

Passed my undergrad clinical writing requirement

I was so close to getting into the 'skilled' category but since I finished it up and submitted it at night I accidentally left in some stupid typos that probably dragged me down those couple points. I'm happy I passed though :)

When you type 'prief' instead of 'brief' it is time to stop studying and go to bed.

sequel to the 'prief' incident: note taking while tired again. idk how autocorrect didn't get this one. went back through all the moving parts of one and two before i caught it at the very end ._.
