rearranged my packed freezer and fit a whole tub of cool whip

it's currently 37 feels like 43 and my AC keeps triggering the breaker and turning off so ... I'm not thriving at the moment

23.06.2025—starting to study from my desk. feeling very proud of myself

21.06.2025 // voices echoing in my head

i continue to be terrible at this project management thing, but glad to have various spaces to work out from. transcribing, making notes, writing scraps and pieces, continuous emails and follow-ups. language is so difficult sometimes. the sense of not doing nearly enough haunts me constantly. already dreaming of my desk and croissant wheels, of walking everywhere.

I am much more productive in the library, but data cleaning really requires more than one screen.

I was surprisingly productive today considering that my attention span is completely shot. I find it weirdly hard to focus while attached to all these wires (for the heart monitor). I keep on accidentally tugging them and distracting myself every time I move. But I actually accomplished my (modest) reading goal for today so that's a big win.

I think I'll also read tomorrow and then take Sunday off (and possibly Monday because I gotta trek back out to the cardiologist on the bus)

M2 diaries 12/100: Second and last day of forensic medicine went smoothly. Snack was delicious. I am so falling behind on my M2 Ankis, but with the semester finals going on, I simply don’t find the time for it.

busy last weekend. i had the privilege of participating in pride event while representing my NGO 🌈

luckily, it's a long weekend now so i can take some time to fix one of my assignments and prepare my report from my work on the PhD project

i finnaly got a response from a training course that i paid way too much for so maybe i'm not getting scammed lol

[sitdwnandstudy]

Back on topic in PhD land, I did pick up the other Foucault book from the library when I was at student health and I got some (not a lot lol) reading done. So we're chugging along with the slow progress. At least I now know that the fatigue is probably not all down to my degree lmao

[sitdwnandstudy]

When the dr. reviewed my lab results she was like, well I don't want to send you for more tests right now because you need whatever blood you have to stay in your body ... so that's how my day is going

Anyways I got the heart monitor (so many wires) and I have to take iron supplements for 3 months, and they said I should be fine

looong time no see. last time you heard from me, i had just submitted my F31! well, now i come with even greater news: i passed my comprehensive exam last month.

the first of 3 major milestones in our phd program is the comprehensive exam, which consists of a 1 week long written exam and then an oral defense shortly after of your written responses. this is also when your committee asks you a bunch of questions trying to find the limits of your knowledge + seeing how you handle answering questions under pressure.

it feels GREAT to be done and preparing for that is one of the reasons I disappeared from april until now. but im so glad to be back.

other life update: we got another pup and her name is daisy.

sorry for disappearing!!
