Hello! It's been a while! I'd not had much motivation studying while I was at home, but right now I'm at my aunt's and I did a little studying! Finally!

Also not me having to look up today's date while I was writing this post completely forgetting that today is my birthday help-

“Virtual particles are not in the void but of the void. They are on the razor edge of non/ being. The void is a lively tension, a desiring orientation toward being/becoming. The vacuum is flush with yearning, bursting with innumerable imaginings of what could be. The quiet cacophony of different frequencies, pitches, tempos, melodies, noises, pentatonic scales, cries, blasts, sirens, sighs, syncopations, quarter tones, allegros, ragas, bebops, hip-hops, whimpers, whines, screams, are threaded through the silence, ready to erupt, but simultaneously crosscut by a disruption, dissipating, dispersing the would-be sound into non/being, an indeterminate symphony of voices. The blank page teeming with the desires of would-be traces of every symbol, equation, word, book, library, punctuation mark, vowel, diagram, scribble, inscription, graphic, letter, inkblot, as they yearn toward expression. A jubilation of emptiness.”

—Karen Barad, “What Is the Measure of Nothingness? Infinity; VIrtuality; Justice”

A Colossal Squid, Photographed from a Fishing Vessel in Antarctica. Colossal Squid, by Mass, are the largest squid species. It is thought that the species can grow to 600-700kg (1,300-1,500lbs), with a length of 10m (33ft). 

Although the Colossal Squid shares many features to that of other squids, they are special in that they have sharp hooks on its arms and tentacles. Interestingly, they are a major prey animal for Sperm Whales, and is thought to be the reason that many Sperm Whales possess an array of scars across their backs. 

Colossal Squids also have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom. Measuring approx 27cm across – around the size of a soccer ball.

Academic stress (a rant)

I’m learning physics because it’s a required exam subject for the application to the university where I want to study. I don’t really understand the subject. I have a really good tutor and my sibling can help as well, but I still feel super overwhelmed. 

I feel overwhelmed because they both explained the material so many times and I still don’t understand it. Or other times I understand it, but I get too afraid to use my knowledge because what if I’m wrong.
