16/100 days of productivity

song of the day: abyss- the weeknd

feeling better today so went to my lab workshop. actually threw away the flow through while doing pcr so that was really fun. luckily I have enough so I don’t need to restart. I want to get lots of sleep before my midterms so I’ll leave my chemistry review to tomorrow.

light academia this dark academia that; there is one real academia and it’s made of rubber dusts, papercuts on fingers, oily hair that hasn’t been washed in a week, big yawns, used up highlighters, dark eyebags, missed deadlines and piled up books

song of the day: where are you- 54 ultra

mostly ran errands today which took much longer than anticipated. i had to push the majority of my tasks to tomorrow. despite that my mood was great which is a win in my books. i bought a new planner for 2025 and it has already proven to be useful.

research: assigned tasks to my team. (we are a little behind schedule for our publication). sent out a few emails to the journal.

selfcare: on the last bit of a horror game i've been wanting to play for a while. i might finish it tomorrow. also did a bit of drawing but i don't expect to have much time for that as the new semester is starting.

tomorrow: buying a new notebook. after that i can get started with preparing for the new semester. key goals: make topic list, mind map, set up notes. i'm quite excited to decorate the pages with all the new stickers i got. i also plan to finish my blog article (which is due in a week).

this is me by the way

Finished the Viktor piece in time for his birthday!

10/100 days of productivity

song of the day: headlock-imogen heap

got quite a lot done. had to catch up on a lot since i've spent the past week hanging out with friends and attending events.

academic: completed physics and chemistry notes, a physics problem set, a biology problem set, and started reviewing for my chemistry midterm next week.

research: had to organize a lot today with the wet lab team and had a meeting with my co-lead about our paper. i had to read a ton of research papers but it was quite fun.

selfcare: did my laundry and cooked dinner! dinner didn't turn out as well as i had hoped but it was my first time cooking in over a month. took a lot of energy so i'll prioritize sleeping tonight.

tomorrow: i need to finish my calculus problem set which is due in 5 days and submit a research application. i'll try and finish my paper for the journal but i don't think it's doable in one day. i also have a chemistry lab that i still don't fully understand yet.
