hi i’ve been gone for a while so here are a bunch of updates
💻 uni related
i am past the 80% mark of my masters thesis! this means that all my classes are done and i only have a little bit of my thesis left to do- mainly just the writing parts. it’s been wonderful so far, i love it and I’ve been so fucking busy but it’s been great. i was really apprehensive when i started but i feel like I’ve come a long way since then- and I'm primarily in charge of one of the lab’s in-house bioinformatics pipelines now ! my prof also mentioned that my work could contribute to a research paper in the works but fingers crossed currently i'm just looking for RA positions for after my lab shenanigans

I got in to my uni's A Cappella group this sem and it's been amazing <3 we have weekly workshops and rehearsals and I feel like my interest in music has been reignited. we had an internal showcase recently and we got into groups to prepare and perform 2 minute sets for each other and overall it's been a wonderful experience. I'm also going for a carolling gig soon with some of them and i'm pumped!!

I've also been volunteering and taking up paid gigs at art galleries and it's been great cause I just get to learn about all the local art and walk around in these wonderfully curated space and its a lot of fun. I've met a couple cool people and the vibes are absolutely immaculate <3
