I've not done 4 pictures in one post in a while haha. The 3rd picture is right after a storm so horrendous it tore off our hostel's false ceiling. Nature can be so horrifyingly beautiful.

The exam week is upon us, and I am trying to stay afloat. After this it's only one year before I graduate, and man I really want it to be over...

Monday january 22

THINGS I NEED TO DO FOR TOMORROW

These days, my desk at home has been my favorite study spot. Campus gets crazy crowded during exam season, and considering it's freezing outside I have quicker access to a cup of tea 🍵

The sound of the rain is my absolute favorite.

18th april '24 — london

this was such a special trip for me. my first time travelling entirely on my own, discovering and falling in love with a city. i've been to london a few times growing up, but i've never had the chance to really explore and live in it until now. forever an experience i'll cherish <3

happy earth day! this morning, i broke the ice on working on my first IRB form. i feel like this is such a big kid step in the PhD world, it's very exciting. hoping to get a good chunk of it done before friday and i'll probably need more help from my PI than i originally expected on it but that's okay :)

the past weekend was a great balancing act of adulting, relaxing, and academia. had a study date with a friend at the library for neural engineering, went to the pool, had date night w the boyf, and also went for a run with the pup. and i finished 2 library books (praise the LORD)

as funny as it is to reduce mendel to some guy and his pea plants we really dont appreciate how much of a scientist the man was about it. also he was CRAZY lucky that the pea plants he chose had complete dominance and only one allele per trait. can you imagine

Another afternoon spent in the library diligently reading + taking notes 🤍📖🫶🏻

📚: Currently reading Ink Blood Sister Scribe for my April book club, and it’s getting really good🥹🌙

cloudy mornings and organic chemistry 🌲

from the archives because i'm moving and life is chaos atm and i miss fall :')

The lessons you learn on your journey towards your destination will always be more valuable than the destination itself.

For anyone who’s wondering. This is a sculpture from Luo Li Rong, a contemporary artist that makes hyper realistic sculptures (usually out of bronze) . This one is made of clay (not marble) because it was the prototype of the actual sculpture.
