Hello!

I'm a biochemistry undergrad aiming to go to grad school (*^.^*)

I've recently struggled with my mental health, which has made school tough, so now I'm trying to get back into the grind >.<

This blog will document my progress. I hope to keep myself accountable and maybe provide some relatability and/or inspiration to others!!

First inorganic synthesis lab and I had so much fun!! I really missed doing inorganic chem :') Today I synthesized tetraiodidobis(triphenylphosphine)tin(IV) (yeah), so basically a tin coordination compound with some iodine and an organic ligand :) The product had such a brilliant color irl, the photos could never do it justice. I also got two 5's (so the highest grade), one on the quiz and one on the practical part, which is very rewarding and makes this lab even more satisfying 💖

Biochemistry and the best Peach I've ever had

2025, week 8 (feb 17th - feb 23rd)

my partner was out of town this week, so I had the apartment to myself, which was very strange haha. I spent a lot of time reading and learning, but I had to remember to take breaks & take care of myself. it's a marathon, not a sprint, and all that.

accomplishments this week:

I finished going through the electronics chapter from my ham radio study guide. it mostly made sense but I'm desparately wishing that I kept my notes from when I took e&m physics lmao

I had my mid-year review at work and it went really well, yay

I finished reading All About Love by bell hooks and Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe

highlights this week:

we got a tiny bit of snow early in the week! pretty rare for where I live

I got coffee (well, matcha for me) with a friend and then we went to browse a used bookstore! I brought home a few old favorites that I didn't have copies of and some reference books that seemed useful.

I had a cozy Sunday morning of journaling & re-watching episodes of Adventure Time

Had some minor health problems during the week and work is stacking up again. In moments like these, it's very easy for me to forget to take care of myself. However, I did some spring cleaning yesterday and feel much much lighter now! Listening to Saba's Few Good Things, because it just fits the mood.

All the best
