Life lately 📖📚

i think one of the best things to come out of my PhD (so far) is that i am learning to embrace finitude, and focusing more on the aspects of "what did i learn from this" instead of dwelling on getting a great grade. let me explain.

let's say i was taking this intro to neural engineering class in undergrad, where these hard as hell MATLAB assignments were due like once a month. i would be literally shitting a brick about trying to get it right, staying up late and compromising my health for the assignment, and then stressing like crazy over the grade. for it to all, subsequently and eventually, end up being fine and not the end of the world.

now, as a 1st year PhD student, in this exact position of having a hard as hell assignment that i kind of just figured out as i go, i'm not even trippin. like, i'm probably going to get half credit and i'm genuinely fine with that. why? because I: 1) embraced finitude of knowing that it's just not going to get done and 2) am celebrating the fact that I even learned the concepts to get half credit.

this...is a big mental shift that i'm really trying to cherish, because it took soooo long for me to get here. i also realize that i'm able to have this change in attitude now because undergrad is over, and for a PhD program, grades don't really matter as long as you meet the requirements to stay in your program. in undergrad, you're aiming for good grades because you want to have access to the next goal (job, internship, or grad school). but my god, is this such a RELIEVING mindset shift.

– Tutorial prep seems to keep me awake even if it is being done in ghostly silence. Plus, it has taken me two months to realise that it is significantly easier to get a seat on the top floor of the Rad Cam if you come when it’s hall dinnertime for students in colleges.

Keeping the adhd gremlin in my head busy by listening to a true crime podcast in English while writing linguistics notes in Finnish. The poor little elf in my head trying to get things done gets some peace and quiet from the gremlin. A bit overwhelming, but this is the most work I've done in 3 days.

Hello again!

I stumbled over the studyblr community back in 2016 (2017?) when I was in the middle of high school and trying to get a hang of who I am and what I like. It was the first time that I discovered the love and inspiration I derived from this type of content and it made my early academia journey just so much more special. Now, 6 years later, I am no longer 17 and and in high school. Instead, I am 23 and in my last year of university about to graduate with a Masters of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (how did that even happen)! In the meantime a lot has happened that changed who I thought I was and wanted. Life got busy and I forgot about this amazing community and platform. Now that I am so close to the end of my academic journey (something I will definitely resume at some point later in life), I wanted to document my last 2-3 months of uni and share my days, as well as, rediscover how studyblr is looking like nowdays.

Maybe this my content will inspire some aspiring engineers, maybe it will motivate me to get on with my work , maybe I'll be able to reconnect with what I once loved and maybe I'll just document these moments for when I will miss them most.

Rant over, thank you for your attention. Now I should get cracking with my Risk & Reliability assignmnent I have procrastinated to the last minute...

30 days of productivity

DAY 1/30

I wanted to do the 100 days, but it has been a while since I have posted on this account, so I want to start small. This will also help me keep myself accountable for my preparation for the MCAT.

Productive:

• Anki General Chemistry

• Anki Organic Chemestry

• Anki Behavioral science

Total Flashcards 537 cards

• JW CARS

• UWorld Physics

Today was a very light day, hopefully tomorrow I will get more done! 🫶🏼

well, we finally got restarted with data collections in lab, and then one of my peers caught COVID :| so now lab is back on hold until mid-July when we know everyone is back to not being COVID+.

i presented some data to my PI yesterday and we came up with the next steps, so I'm excited to see how those pan out. I sent my IRB stuff to our lab manager who is in charge of submitting it to the committee so hopefully we can get everything approved in the next couple weeks for the study starting in August!

also, i've started using my bujo again! i think i found a new rhythm that works for me and it feels so good to be brain dumping into it again, my head feels so much clearer. thank you to everyone who responded to my cry for help LMAO

i also need to start working on my poster for a conference in late July but I think I'm going to put that off until next week

Visited my future college and faculty buildings in Oxford where I’ll be residing from October onwards! Likewise, let’s just say I’m looking forward to my Masters and getting back into the spirit of taking photos of the extended academic journey.

נאָר בלויז דאָס האָפֿנונגסלאָזע אויף דער ערד איז שיין,

און געטלעך איז נאָר דאָס, וואָס מוז פֿאַרגיין,

און נאָר הכנעה איז מרידהיש. 

from "six lines" (זעקס שורותֿ) by Aaron zetilin

On earth only the hopeless things are beautiful

And only godly is that which must wane

And only humility is rebellious (my translation)

I know something that doesn’t die can’t be beautiful.
