today i actually woke up early (it's still considered summer where i live) and ran a bunch of errands, dropping off stuff for a summer camp. advice: get your driver's license. my legs are killing me after exercising my biking skills at 8 am in jeans.
i've been coding this summer at an astrophysics lab which has been so cool! but so tiring! i've slowly realized just how much stress can manifest physically. should have come with a disclaimer haha
meet my cat :)

i locked in on my summer homework today. it wasn’t too hard. just some graphing and simple math. but i got it done! tbh i kind of only did it so i could post about it on tumblr…. but i guess thats what a studyblr is for anyways.
one more day of my internship after this and i’m free (only to start school the next day)
i also got my school schedule out. had to fight with my counselor all day via email, but i finally got a good schedule. i’m just nervous because i had to go from regular, semester-long econ up to AP econ. i just wanted a chill year. but i might know the people in AP econ better than the regular class.
a sleepy cat to make you smile!
(hopefully, unless you’re on of those weird people that dislikes cats)
as my chem teacher says, particles do not have feelings, but i think the protons and electrons like like each other
i hate going back to school. what do you mean i actually have to do homework now?

i think i’m going to cry this semester. maybe i should keep a counter.
i started school last week. i had to fix my schedule and already, my class list is kind of bad. aps in physics c (both mech and em), lit, and calculus. and then an applied math elective for fun. and choir because it’s my senior year and why not :)
BUT THEN my counselor realized i wasn’t going to meet the graduation requirement, and the only class that fit my schedule was ap econ? like you’ve got to be kidding me.
the first day, we did this shark tank thing where we had to come up with a product. our group was basic and thought of an ai refrigerator (why does it seem like every new thing that comes out is like a regular product *but with ai*? sorry for the short rant).
and all i could think about was, how do you make a refrigerator? what is it made out of? what kinds of machines do you need to make it? how does it insulate?
it’s going to be a long year, that’s for sure. i’m grateful for any tips to survive this semester though :)
on the bright side! first day of school had a seniors royal dress up day (pictured: my cat trying to eat my crown). second day of school had a jersey dress up with the number 26 bolded. and then on saturday we had senior sunrise (pictured: those gorgalicious pictures in the field).

I met with my mentor at the astrophysics lab— basically my position is getting cut since the pay came from one of the numerous satellites that the U.S. is no longer funding. They won’t let me continue unpaid for security reasons, either.
But I’ve known this for about a month now, and today I found out that my mentor still needs me to finish the computational part of his paper. So he gave me the option to continue by doing remote work :)
Honestly, this is a huge relief since I still get the experience and get to stay connected with the project, but I get to take a break during college app and sports season. So yay!
Today was also the last time I had to see the other two interns! They’re mostly nice, but even though we all share an office, I’ve only had a couple conversations with them. They normally just hang out the two of them and ignore me (which is fine but makes for a lonely summer).
I also hopped on a short flight today for a 2-day Women in STEM event. And OMG look at this sunset —>
the one thing i love about being 1 of 3 women in the entire lab building is that you basically get the entire bathroom to yourself
hi, i'm zoe! i’m a high school senior into physics, coding, creative writing, and late-night overthinking. expect science rambles and some occasional studying (yess a procrastination queen ✨)
