₊˚。⋆❆⋆。˚₊ winter term recap ₊˚。⋆❆⋆。˚₊
january - march 2025
with the end of this term, i can officially close the door on the first half of my bachelor's degree. it's taken closer to 3 years than 2 to get to this point, but the finish line is clearer now than it's ever been.
it's been an especially good term for my research aspirations – in january i started on a cell bio project with my adviser, got recruited by my ecology prof in february, and in march was accepted to a summer position in a biochemistry lab. i love my classes, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing quite like lab work for learning how to actually be a scientist.
You're tired but you have goals to reach and places to be!

today was significantly less productive than i wanted it to be! i had a morning full of doctors appointments and spent the rest of the day (nearly 7 hours!!) in bed with a debilitating migraine. i didn’t do a single piece of schoolwork, but i did get some reading done :3
the weather was gorgeous though! it was in the mid sixties today and i got to spend a lot of time outside before i started feeling unwell. being chronically ill as a student is rough, but i’m trying to remain positive and focus on the good!
13/04/25 - weekly study summary
first draft of essay
researched phd supervisors
completed assistive tech training
set up zotero
song: john hughes movie by maisie peters
feeling so much better now the first draft is done. it's taken a long time to get the assistive tech i need, but oh my god it's so good. i can't believe i've been working without adhd support this whole time. drafting this essay with the proper support was a breeze after struggling with it and previous essays for weeks. i may even had it in early.
