12•01•23// this cookie was exactly as tasty as it looks! I can't help myself when it comes to baked goods, especially as a nice treat during a long day of studying!

I'm finally at the point in my thesis where I can start counting down days until I'm done! Only 382 to go! 😭😭😭😭

04.03.2021. One paragraph a day challenge, day 10.

J’ai passé ma matinée à consulter des manuscrits et des dessins à la BnF pour compléter mon relevé des signatures: il n’est pas tout à fait fini, mais on s’en approche. Dans l’après-midi, j’ai eu un cours de deux heures. J’ai donc essayé de caser la rédaction dans ce qu’il me restait de temps. Mais je devais écrire une partie sur la vie économique de mes artistes, leurs investissements immobiliers... bref, ce qui m’ennuie le plus, donc mes progrès sont très lents. J’ai écrit 659 mots (on sent la douleur dans ce chiffre). J’espère que demain se passera mieux.

I spent my morning looking at manuscripts and drawings, so that I could complete my list of signatures (it’s not 100% complete, but it’s all coming together anyway). In the afternoon, I had a 2 hours-lecture. So I tried to use what was left to write a bit about the economical status of my artists, but it’s the part of my thesis I enjoy the least, so my progress is slow. I still wrote 659 words (yeah, it was painful). I hope tomorrow will be better.

Why does the thought of going back to work - probably - next week, terrifies me so much?!

Just finished my first year of grad school! I wanna nap

I could finally feel that this year is ending on a good note. Damn my hard works slowly paying off! English exam’s results came in today and I passed, my Professor said he’s very happy to work with me and thank my parents for sending me here in korea. Looking back last year, I remember crying on my birthday going back alone to the lab in the middle of the cold night. But now... I feel good and it gives me motivation to finish my thesis in 3 weeks (procrastination power grows)

today I gave a ~5 minute presentation to my cohort in the form of a research proposal for a class and the first comment (I was the first person to go bc Anxiety so I decided to volunteer) was “well that’s set the bar high” and all the feedback was positive and the constructive criticism was really helpful and in all the presentations after professors used my presentation as a comparison point (that was a little bit awks) and afterward one of the profs came up and told me that if he’d known it was going to be that good he would have made me present last and basically GAH i feel so validated this was such a positive experience and I feel like a much more competent and well-rounded scientist now. The main comment from my cohort was that I really seemed like I knew what I was talking about which is nice bc I had this research idea like a month ago....
