people who work/study in quantitative bio-adjacent fields, rise up. computational neuroscience where you get to see someone's thoughts in feelings in graph form??? so cool. biophysics where you can pass blood plasma through an electric field to determine whether a patient has cancer or not?? unbelievable. biomedical engineering where you can literally build a device to pump someone's heart and be the difference between their life and death??? oh my god. disease modelling, being able to predict AND prevent communities being affected by disease on a large scale through your analysis of data??? i love science

pretty good day today! my physics labs haven't started yet so i only had one lecture today.
academic: went library hopping and finished notes for 3/4 of my classes. (my biology slides actually make no sense). got started on my physics problem set and prepared for my lab workshop tomorrow.
self-care: might be masochistic but i find writing notes very relaxing! i suppose that counts as self care. i was watching let's plays while studying so now i really want to play a game. side note: i just found out that poppy playtime chapter 4 is coming out in 2 weeks? very exciting.
tomorrow: i don't think i'll have much time after my 5 hour lab and a party with my friends but if i do i'll work on my physics and math problem sets! i really need to stop putting off my biology notes but formatting it is just a nightmare.
welcome everyone who has been following me recently! i love making new mutuals- it's very heartwarming.

almost done my calculus problem set and applied for a scholarship. just have citations left for my article. have a biomedical engineering conference tomorrow that i am very excited for.

over 8 hours of studying for chemistry today! i did so many practice problems my brain is barely working now. just finishing up a physics discussion assignment because i completely forgot about it... oops. made a little list of concepts to review tomorrow.
my ceiling light has been out for the past 3 days and my room is literally freezing... good thing i went apartment hunting for an hour instead of studying today.
tomorrow: going to an 11 hour conference but i think i'll leave early to study for my midterm.
I AM CRASHING OUT GIVE ME A BREAK PLEASEEEE

about halfway through priming for my courses. i was a little disappointed with the poor quality of the notebooks at the store but at least i have something to write in now.
also planned out my new years which helped destress.
sadly didn't get 100% completion in the horror game i wanted to finish: it is about 2 hours long and i must replay it for the zero deaths run. maybe i'll finish it in a few months.
research: didn't get any writing done today but since the base structure is already there, i just need a little more information and edit. i hope to finish it tomorrow but it will probably take a few days, realistically.
tomorrow's goal: finish priming for my courses and get started on calculus review (didn't get the best mark last semester). bake cookies? go swimming.
it's really shocking and sad to think that i only have a week left with my family before i go across the country and back to being totally alone. but i'm enjoying the time i have now which is all that matters.
really shocking that it's 2025 already. 2024 was a journey of both self discovery and self annihilation, one that made me realize many harsh and beautiful truths about myself. i have learned a lot and look forward to using my knowledge this year. i will strive to protect my peace, find solace in silence, and taking things one step at a time, either forwards or backwards, all in the name of progress towards ambition.

wasn’t feeling very well today after running errands and having labs all day. still went to my evening tutorial but sleeping early tonight.
