"Paradise will be a kind of library" @caelumlibrary - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my new blog!

I'm Nana (23, she/her) and will mostly blog about writing, books, some study/personal stuff and my cats!

I study biology and german to become a teacher someday.

Stay excited bc I am :)

Tons of love!♡

Find out more about me (sadly only works on pc :c)

My own posts e.g. about my whips are tagged with #nanastypewriter (as you can see in the tags below!)

Finally finished the immunology chapter!

Since Monday my study group started to meet up again. The past few days weren't the most productive days since we haven't seen eachother in two weeks and we had a lot to chat about. However I really enjoy spending time with them again.

Reminder: productivity isn't all that matters c:

Still working on the flashcards for the immunology chapter :)))

Got nothing done yesterday bc we had archery training and went to the theatre afterwards. I'd love to go there more often but never manage to check out the website for interesting plays haha

Actually I wanted to power through the immunology chapter but I woke up with some tummy issues. I still want to make some progress but I'll take it slow :)))

Besides the study marathon for the vegetative physiology of animals and humans exam I also have several assignments due in the upcoming weeks. Even though my poor health condition I managed to search through our libraries in order to find some (hopefully) usefull literature for these assignments c:

I also manged to hand in one assignments for the zoology systematics and knowledge of animal species course already.

Currently I'm working on the flashcards for the immunology chapter. Everything is a bit rough at the moment but today I at least remembered to take my adhd meds :')))

Finished writing the flashcard for the digestion chapter today, but catched a cold apparently :(((

Random biology student things no one talks about

Having strong opinions about the ethics of gene therapy, stem cells, etc. And by ethics I mean, why is this wrong? It makes no sense.

Knowing more about cancer than about literally anything else.

Seriously, they talk about cancer in every biology class.

Please worry about the earth. Global Warming is real, climate change is real.

*Walking, sees an interesting plant/animal/fungus* What’s that? Gotta find out about it. Cue 15 minutes of googling while your non-bio major friend stands and stares, exasperated.

Everything boils down to your genetic material, everything.

Rosalind Franklin deserved better!

Being mistaken for a medicine student by your relatives and non-science friends.

Knows more about recreational drugs than you ever will, believe me.

No biological system is perfect. No, not even DNA polymerase.

Knowing the right interpretation of “Survival of the fittest” and cringing every time it is used for an individual instead of a population.

Seriously, please worry about the earth.

*Cell biology professor voice* You know what we biologists are the best at? Borrowing stuff. Physicists make instruments, we borrow them. Chemists make dyes, we borrow them. Seriously, all we do is borrow everything from everyone and mix them together with a cell culture.

*Random date friend voice* Maybe you can teach me some “biology”. Me who hasn’t thought of the human reproductive system since class 12th: I don’t know how to say this to you, but you really don’t want me to do that.

Rosalind Franklin deserved better!!!

Being obligated to say “That’s a pretty colour” every time you take a solution out of the water bath and it has changed colour.

*Heard in a laboratory* Friend 1: Can I drink this dye? Friend 2: You can, but you’ll probably get cancer, or die. Friend 1: That’s the point.

Normal people: Stay away from liquid nitrogen. PhD scholar in a lab I interned in, 3 gloves on a hand: Imma put my entire hand in it for retrieving the Eppendorf tube.

Rosalind. Franklin. Deserved. Better.

Instrument’s called Gene Gun. Is a box.

Please, please worry about the earth.

Can spew random facts about Covid 19 off the top of their head. Same with the vaccine.

You will never get correct results on the first try, never. You are lucky if you get them the second time.

Non-bio major friend: It must be so easy for you, no maths in biology. Me: *flashback to all the equations in every single course of biology I have taken* Yeah, right.

ROSALIND FRANKLIN DESERVED BETTER

Please worry about the earth, please.

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
