“Becquerel is radiation’s deadbeat dad” is not a sentence I ever thought I would say to my boss, and yet…

when you think about it tho pliny the elder is kind of the funniest guy in the world like. he wrote all these books about natural history that he was wrong about where he confidently claims things like “some animals only have blood during certain parts of the year” and then when mt. vesuvius erupted and destroyed pompeii and herculaneum he said “oh mt vesuvius is exploding? let me go check it out” and then he died

It is once again midterm marking season

“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time

Applied for my TA positions for September 🥳

Satisfied my desire to spend all day reorganising my bookshelf by instead changing up some of the decorations, and making the top of my filing cabinet more efficient for Maximum Book Holding Potential (without becoming precarious) 😮‍💨

Somewhat productive day today!!

Finished binder of work documents; I was hoping to start on the next one, but it’s fine.

Cast on new scarf using chain cast on, my nemesis 👿

Coordinated with the printer for the delivery of our PRINT JOURNAL for Monday 🎉

Chain cast on makes me want to cast myself into the sea

Yesterday I didn’t get everything done that I had scheduled, but I did more work than I have done all summer, so that’s something! (Also I made peach syrup and put it in my matcha 🍑 despite the unfortunate swampy colour, it was very nice!)
