I wanna be the very best like no one ever was *dum dum dum*
Once I asked my (might be and I hope will be) grad study’s PI why he chose to specialise in his particular field. His answer was because few people worked on that topic and he can be a leading figure in that particular area. Lo and behold, he does produce some high impact publications on that topic, and got some pretty good funding schemes for his lab. So, being unique can lead you to be the best in a certain niche (like no one ever was!). And this principle seems to work not only on science field, as this youtube account eloquently write on their opinion about who-would’ve-known-this-anime-would-garner-such-success-and-become-the-best-anime-of-the-year Yuri!!! on Ice:

So yeah, if I ever set my own lab, I will focus on optimization of cassowary’s gut microbiome for paper pulp production and if I write anime script, it will be about romantic relationship between an anoa’s hunter and a parasailing instructor because why not.
P.S: My (hope will be) PI’s research topic is much cooler and more useful than ‘optimization of cassowary’s gut microbiome for paper pulp production’ so fingers’ crossed that I’ll get a chance to study in his lab

Post-College Life
The first thing I realised after I finished my undergraduate study is that I was waaay too busy during my college years. I spent pretty much everyday in campus doing assignments, organising events, hanging out with friends, being an (self-proclaimed) awesome and awe inspiring student. Even when I was home, I would be kept busy doing things college-related. Now that everything’s over, I kind of feel empty inside.
I was lucky that I immediately landed a job after I got my degree, but my job desks now seems to be very... plain compared to my activities back in campus. As a research assistant, my daily routines are: 1) go very early to the lab, 2) do some lab works, 3) wait for the result (by compulsively checking my emails, news sites, youtube, and refreshing the tabs every 5 minutes), 4) analyse lab’s results, 5) have a lunch, 6) take a nap (yes, somehow I can take 30 minute-ish nap in the middle of my office hours, 7) discuss with my boss, 8) wait until office hours ends (by compulsively checking my emails, news sites, youtube, and refreshing the tabs every 5 minutes), and 9) go home. Pretty much like that, Monday to Friday, been doing this for 3 months now.
What I do at home are not much different compared to what I do at the office. I usually 1) exchange few words with my mom and brother, 2) compulsively check my emails, news sites, youtube, refresh the tabs every 5 minutes, 3) read some books (currently reading ‘Sophie’s World’ and ‘I Contain Multitudes’; great books so far), 4) watch dramas (something I never did before), and... nothing else.
So yeah, amid all of these routine regiments, life is very... plain. That’s why I decided (impulsively, after I read my friend’s tumblr) to make this account, hoping that writing some posts here will help me to overcome my boredom. So far, writing things here is interesting enough, so maybe I’ll write more posts. Selamat jadi tempat nyampah saya yang baru, Tumblr!
