The year is coming to an end, this also means that the exam session is quickly approaching. Today I started studying for my second-to-last exam that I'm doing on the 8th January 2024.
I am feeling so anxious about the end of this year, and about the end of my master's degree. I have no clue of what's next and this is pretty mind boggling for me

“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” – Steve Maraboli
22/05/2022, Sunday.
I finished my exams 🎉
On the 12/05/2022 I took my last exam ever, it was Advanced Organic Chemistry. I still have to realise that I am free from studying!
Now I'll start the master's thesis. On Tuesday I should start the training in the lab, I hope to be independent fast. The sooner I do my analysis the sooner I can graduate and, who knows, maybe apply for a PhD! 👩🏻🎓
Last week I went to a Polymers Conference, 5 days long. It has been inspiring, I've met young researchers/PhDs and talked about how it works where they are from. Honestly, I have a positive energy since I got back! I just want to do things and work in the lab 💪🏻

some intransitive verbs DO take avere. most commonly:
camminare (to walk)
dormire (to sleep)
telefonare (to telephone)
piangere (to cry)
ridere (to laugh)
viaggere (to travel)
-------------
dovere, potere, and volere are flexible
when followed by another verb, they take the same auxiliary that that verb would take
ex. Lei è potuta venire. Io ho dovuto finire.

Writing directly from the library, even tho the pictures are from yesterday. My headphones died and I am currently observing the processes running on my uni's HPC cluster.
My thesis should be about biophysics but the more time I spend working on it, the more it involves hardcore computer science.
I also love the course on statistical mechanics I'm taking.
