some good news to share: I was awarded the NSF GRFP! this is a very prestigious federal fellowship and will fund my PhD for 3 years so I can work on my own research and not have to RA or TA for 3 years. yayyyy planetary science!

Been procrastinating on studying for my neurophysiology exam by obsessively editing my NSF GRFP essays...kinda sucks that they’re on the same day (tomorrow)

The GRFP is killing me.

I hate writing about myself. This is the worst.

I got through two drafts of my research proposal for the GRFP today, because my advisor got back to me with edits to the first in only a few hours. Huge relief after it took over a week to hear back on my first draft, but I guess now that the deadline is only a week away everybody’s in panic mode (especially me). I also edited my personal essay and sent it to several new people.

I’m really hoping this grant proposal comes together...
