โห๏ฝกโโโ๏ฝกหโ winter term recap โห๏ฝกโโโ๏ฝกหโ
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 โ 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.

pretty happy with this week, given how busy work has been. still working on my desk set up - I'm thinking fairy lights or leds under the shelf, and something better for file organisation.

So, everything came crashing down on me a couple days ago. I wrote my midterm and realized later that I made a bunch of silly mistakes on it, probably costing me a good grade. Between that and grad school pressures of not knowing if Iโve been admitted or not really bore down on me. Then I had an incident at work that caused me to break down even further, so Iโm happy that I have the weekend off. Itโs been brutal, I had a breakdown in the snow (way more calming than whatever you pictured) and Iโve just been taking the next few days to really settle into the things I love, like reading and sobbing (complimentary) over my current ace attorney case. just know if youโre going through a hard time rn that there are always, always people and places and hobbies that can help to pick you back up. Always. Never give up, keep fighting. And if you fall, take a moment and then come back swinging!

mock exams. that's all what i've been thinking of since the beginning of this week. first was geo sl which i think went pretty well. i'm also writing chem on monday and it stresses me out a little bit. the good news is that i am almost done with all of my IAs.
