Working on the ASW project while my niece is taking her nap. Honestly don't know how parents get anything done with a kid in the house.

ADS project is due on Sunday, and then ASW is due on Wednesday. I really need to start revising tho, how is it almost may??

It's still so weird to me that this is what a bacteriophage actually looks

Like, tf do you mean it's not just a diagram, and it really looks like this

The week started in a very stressful way, so much so that I decided to skip class today. Yesterday was really too much for me with my commute and everything, and at the end of the day I am not missing anything too important with today's lecture. I took this as a way to start working for my English lit exam. I realized I had a pretty big block with it, I just couldn't bring myself to do stuff for this exam because it makes me very nervous (especially writing a paper for it). I decided to start with easy approachable tasks in order to get started and so far it's working. My paper will be on The Merchant Of Venice, which means that I need to reread the play and annotate the useful passages, but before I do that I wanted to write in pen all the annotations I originally wrote in pencil. So this was my main task of the day. Tomorrow I will start my first reread of the play, and once I am done with that I will plan the next move. I feel like this is the best way for me to approach a task that scares me. Just break it down in much smaller tasks and start on the easier ones.

productivity:

read first thing in the morning

small plan of my tasks for the next few days

rewrote in pen my book annotations

run some errands with my mum

updated my reading journal

☆ what i did today ☆ day before my first midterm (general chemistry lab)

☆ went to office hours for the before-exam review - the TAs answered some questions and clarified what's going to be on the test and what we had to focus on ☆ took notes on the slides and studied chemical reactions, chemical equations - notation and balancing, stoichiometry, types of reactions and solubility ☆ did a few stoichiometry and balancing exercises ☆ reviewed what we did in each experiment in the lab classes - read over the script + the lab reports and tried to recognize the important concepts (types of reactions; reaction speed; titration and gravimetric analysis - stoichiometry) and all the reactions

overall im a little nervous about the exam but i do think i have a good grasp on this subject! wish me luck 🤞

Started working on my presentation and graphics that I need to do by tomorrow, it’s not as much as it looks but it can be really tedious. I had remote class today so I was able to use that time to work while listening to it

Well, I am excited to go away on Wednesday night, but it sure is a challenge meeting this double deadline for the same day 😬

It's a day and night mission and I'm a little scared!! Though I can feel that what I'm producing is good work ✨🤞

Day 96 • 100 Days of Productivity

In the home stretch for the semester! Just have two weeks left and then i'm off for break and I don't have to worry about any school work until august, and then I'm only taking two classes instead of the 6 i'm taking now. I'm very tired but I'm gonna push through it, I know I can do it. Honestly the only final that I'm worried about is my ITE Principles of Information Systems class, but I got a 100% on my database project and my professor posted a study sheet so I think I'll be fine. I want to start studying sooner than I did for our midterm because I only got a 75% on that. Other than that I'm all good. I can't wait to sleep lol.

Good news from thesis lab! I've had an influx of new crystals since I last was here, including those that my thesis supervisor said are often difficult to obtain (make no mistake, it's not my dazzling chemistry skills, it's most likely sheer luck lol). I put one of those precious babies in the spectrometer and my TS was really, really happy with the spectra that came out.

See that pink candy up there? That's my priceless crystal. Photos don't show it that well, but it's pretty big. All the others are tiny, rice-sized. This one is almost the size of a chickpea! (Great comparisons, I know.)

i’m writing a paper where i example the outsiders from the perspective of a petrol-driven culture, and it’s been a blast re-reading it and finding parts to address. i love this book so much <3

People keep asking me which specialty I want to choose after graduating med school and I still have no clue :‘(

finishing up my shakespeare final with a “study with me” video in the background :)

There is something about classic literature that hits different - which is not to say that modern literature lacks depth - there is just something so incredible about reading something and knowing that these same words were consumed by people decades, centuries before you took your first breath. And they loved and felt the stories the way you do& despite all the time separating you you’re still connected…

actually got stuff done yesterday!!! was up super late to listen to all 31 tortured poets department songs, but i still got up early ✅ somehow. initial mixed opinions on the album as a whole (songs are too similar sonically & i don't think the production always matched the lyrics/story etc.) but i loved the tumblr 2014 vibe & there’s a few songs that i really like (especially florida!!! so good!!!) so i've been listening all day. still stressed about my summer plans, but hopefully i'll figure that out soon 🫡🫡🫡

things i did today:

researched active offshore wind leases for my thesis

learned about scouring + liquefaction issues

met with my pre-grad advisor

troubleshot my watch & finally re-set it.

duolingoed! just hit the second week in my streak!
