there is no such thing as a fully functional university website. they make them like this on purpose. it's the final test.

quick study session to prep for my next lecture ⋆ ˖ ⏱︎.ᐟ

Been so busy that I haven't even thought about updating! Oopsie!

Over winter break, I reviewed all the chapters of chemistry that I took exactly 1 year ago (250 pages in my textbook, and ~50 pages of notes on Google docs).

I was very productive over the last 2 months, especially since winter quarter started. I have had an exam every week of the quarter so far! Not ideal! But this is just what it's like being in STEM.

I still need to make a plan to prep for my SAT in mid-march, and register for the ACT. And to begin studying for the DMV licensing exam. Busy, busy, busy...

Still have about 500 slides to get through. And that's just one subject. I'm pretty sure this violates at least three human right conventions.

today felt really good. i gave a poster presentation and met some wonderful phd students. i love learning about other people’s research, it gives me something new to read on. science is so amazing. ending the night with polymeric materials hw, almost finished, feeling more optimistic about life.

Instead of thinking about what you can’t do, focus on what you can do.

you've gotta be kind to yourself no matter what

[satanfemme]

this is twice as true in the winter

[satanfemme]

the world isn't ending and you don't need to kill yourself it's literally december. it's december. and you need to be nice to yourself.

eventually one has to come to terms with the fact that "conceive of myself as a person capable of tackling difficult things" is an achievable goal toward which one can take concrete steps whereas "have things be easy" is Not

Finals season 🩷🎄

finals season stress has me in the TRENCHESSSSS

My sinuses are soooo mad at me but alas we persevere. I hope everyone has a successful final exam week and that we all pass with flying colors🩷

Got my grades back, and I finally got another 4.0! Academic comeback!!! Anyway, since I don't have classes at the moment, I've been cleaning up my room. I also need to brush up on chemistry for chem 2 (I took chem 1 exactly a year ago... not the brightest move on my part). I also am halfway through Frankenstein :)

Finally on winter break!!!

I took my final test (German 1) on Monday, and I don't know what my grade is yet. I'll find out soon enough, probably. I'm expecting that I got all A's this quarter, but I'll keep my expectations low and assume there's a B in there somewhere. Very proud of myself!!! I also started studying for my SAT!
