today i presented on a new project i'm excited about in lab meeting and it went super well. think it's the best presentation i have had? was a little nervous because everyone loved my previous project, so was dealing with nerves around presenting something only i thought was worthwhile. also just so refreshing and relieving to think about something new
for some reason i can't eat anything prior to presenting. too nervous. only had 1.25 cups of matcha latte and a few bites of instant pho ramen prior to giving my talk
3ish more years of this phd left. time to come up with a plan to ensure i can graduate when i want to while still accomplishing what i want to accomplish. it occurred to me that i finally feel on track to learning what i wanted to learn through this experience
only took antidepressants and a quarter of soul-searching (!)
recently started this lyra workshop and loving it. feel like i am rediscovering a part of myself. haven't trained seriously since 2018! oof. a real circus place opened up near where i went to college, and i managed to book a private lesson for when i will be in town for my reunion. so stoked!
oh i have skunk hair now and i feel like it really suits me
i want a neotribal tattoo someday
i feel genuinely excited and have things to look forward to now
