Good morning!
A little off-kilter this morning, made it to 6am muay thai and then came home and scrolled for a bit π I think I will need to put a time-based lock on insta and tiktok so that I can't access them before lunchtime.
I need to contact an organisation I wanted to volunteer with to let them know I can't commit time anymore, but other tasks just keep getting in the way...
Today's goals are similar to yesterday! More research, hopefully I will also be able to study a bit after iftar and before bedtime β¨οΈ
Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday!

Then youβre gonna love this photo of Annie Jump Canon.
Working at Harvard in the late 1800βs and early 1900βs as a βComputerβ, Annie Jump Cannon cataloged stars using their spectra from photographic plates, in an effort to understand the mysteries and peculiarities of stellar spectra.
This was hard, detailed, nuanced work. By 1889, three years into her work, she had classified over 1,000 stars. By 1913, she could classify 200 stars an hour. She could classify three stars a minute, just by sight. Using a magnifying glass, she could classify stars down to 9th magnitude, 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. And she did this all with exceptional accuracy.
Over the course of her career, she personally classified more than 350,000 stars, accounting for a mind-boggling 98% of all contemporary stellar spectra classifications, a feat that wouldnβt be bested until the 1990βs with automated digital sky surveys.
Cannon used these classifications to develop the Harvard spectral classification system (OβBβAβFβGβKβM), organizing stars by surface temperature and physical properties.
It is hard to overstate just how foundational her work was to modern astronomy and astrophysics. Her classifications have enabled more than a century of breakthroughs in stellar structure and evolution, including the understanding of how stars change over time and how temperature, luminosity, and composition are related. The system underpins the HertzsprungβRussell (HR) diagram, one of the most important tools in astrophysics, and remains embedded in modern research, from stellar population studies to galaxy evolution.
The immense scale of her work was itself a massive contribution to astronomy. For comparison, before Cannon, star catalogs contained between 600 and 4,000 stars. Her work single-handedly proved that large-scale stellar classification was both feasible and scientifically valuable. She helped establish systematic star catalogs as a core method of modern astronomy and laid the groundwork for astrophysical research on stellar structure, evolution, and populations that continues today.

Strong start to the day, accidentally ate moldy bread for suhoor.
Trying out a new, slower, phone-free morning routine. Today's post-gym read is The Sealed Necar.
I don't have my own translated copy of the Quran, so my goal this week is to buy one with the Arabic and transliteration, and read that in the mornings.

Why didn't I decide to study something like history, it'd make me feel so alive.
Engineering processes are so intentionally devoid of humanity that reading on the research makes me feel like a robot π€

I didn't realise how absolutely insane my schedule is until I have to do it all while fasting. I am so tired and so unproductive. The guilt? Unreal.

top five ways to conclude your thesis
so yeah
and I stand by that
thanks for reading
you get it now right
call me with questions I really want to talk about this more please please please
Uni days
I wanted someone who would build libraries for me. Not because I asked, but because they wanted to.
Who would design worlds for my joy, if only that I could live in them together.
I wanted someone to be my muse, and I theirs.
Patiently, I waited.
The same way a child waits with bated breath at the door in hopes that her parents would bring home her favourite snack from the grocery store.
I realise now that I must buy my own favourite snacks and make my own favourite foods.
I hope to build my own library one day, and paint my own world.
Oh, sweet Fancy! let her loose;
Every thing is spoilt by use:
Where's the cheek that doth not fade,
Too much gaz'd at? Where's the maid
Whose lip mature is ever new?
β John Keats
Frequently the woods are pink-
Frequently are brown
Frequently the hills undress
Behind my native town.
