I forgot how to study in the sense of memorising facts to reproduce in an exam... It has been more than 7 years since the last time I was tested this way and I have to say, I do not like it...
Whatever is learned with satisfaction and enjoyment stays with you forever.
The lessons you learn on your journey towards your destination will always be more valuable than the destination itself.

Life and work are so so busy but I wanted to give at least a bit of an update!!
This second rotation of my PhD programme is so, radically better! My supervisor is amazing and I'm loving the science very much, it's really exciting and the rhythm of the work suits me so well! It's changed my whole attitude towards my PhD which is a huge relief. Things feel brighter. Meanwhile I'm settling into my city and starting to build up a social life, which was hard at first! So I guess if you're having a hard time making a new start - new job, new city, new degree - you can take this as a sign to take heart, because this came around the corner and took my by surprise. ❤️📖🌸🔬
