Types of brain fog:

Brain is primordial sludge & you are drowning in it

U are a ghost and nothing is real

Mental equivalent of attempting to stream some high-res video game when all you have is dial-up

A list of things i need to cook

i have to start writing my senior thesis soon.

for this term, that's just a one-page outline. for a 50-page paper i'll be grinding out next term.

first i need to actually nail down my project timeline. outstanding tasks:

Array simulation of antennas to verify performance

Make a cost breakdown

Maximize amount of assembly PCBway can do

it has fallen on me to pick up my slack with respect to senior class co-president düties (o7 Maximus). in other words, i'm officially in charge of Ditch Day now.

senior prank, too. i'll need to assemble a task force for that. because (say it with me) NOBODY ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT!

probably more things i will remember soon

I think we've already created soap fruit right?? surely in this economy

I mean there's cilantro
