i think one of the best things to come out of my PhD (so far) is that i am learning to embrace finitude, and focusing more on the aspects of "what did i learn from this" instead of dwelling on getting a great grade. let me explain.
let's say i was taking this intro to neural engineering class in undergrad, where these hard as hell MATLAB assignments were due like once a month. i would be literally shitting a brick about trying to get it right, staying up late and compromising my health for the assignment, and then stressing like crazy over the grade. for it to all, subsequently and eventually, end up being fine and not the end of the world.
now, as a 1st year PhD student, in this exact position of having a hard as hell assignment that i kind of just figured out as i go, i'm not even trippin. like, i'm probably going to get half credit and i'm genuinely fine with that. why? because I: 1) embraced finitude of knowing that it's just not going to get done and 2) am celebrating the fact that I even learned the concepts to get half credit.
this...is a big mental shift that i'm really trying to cherish, because it took soooo long for me to get here. i also realize that i'm able to have this change in attitude now because undergrad is over, and for a PhD program, grades don't really matter as long as you meet the requirements to stay in your program. in undergrad, you're aiming for good grades because you want to have access to the next goal (job, internship, or grad school). but my god, is this such a RELIEVING mindset shift.

Γκουντ Μόρνινγκ Βιετνάμ!
” Όμηροι ” των έργων του φυσικού αερίδου εδώ και αρκετό καιρό βρίσκονται οι κάτοικοι αλλά και οι διερχόμενοι οδηγοί των οδών Γράμμου και Αθανασίου Διάκου, καθώς από τον Οκτώβριο τα προβλήματα που δημιουργούνται από την μη ασφαλτόστρωση των οδικών οδών, είτε θα συναντήσετε τρύπες, είτε η σκόνη στις καλές μέρες να θυμίζει βομβαρδισμένο τοπίο.

spring break came and went in the blink of an eye, but it was lots of fun! met up with friends from HS, went to disneyland, and spent time with my family. I also still did some work over break that was time sensitive, but I can't really complain :)
its officially past the halfway point of the semester and i can see the finish line. ahhhh. i also realize i need to start studying more for my classes because things are getting more complex... BUT WE WILL SURVIVE

02.22.21 || i made super simple calendar printables for myself to use and have been meaning to post them here, since it may be of use to someone, but between school and work, i’ve only gotten around to it now. in the links below, there are monthly calendars in both monday start and sunday start weeks, as well as 5 colors: grey, lavender, jade mint, robin blue, and rose pink.
links: monday start | sunday start
edit: made a 2021 yearly calendar here.

I enroll in my Fall classes later today! I'm taking cell biology and introduction to personalities, which personally sound 1000x more interesting than physics. And as an extra bonus, I get to keep my amazing Latin professor for another semester!
