26-29/100 days of productivity
song of the day: hypnotized- minh
i might be cheating by summarizing multiple days but i really don't have the motivation to post every day.
spent the weekend studying for my physics midterm. went to the bar and a concert over the weekend which i enjoyed immensely. also viewed an apartment which i might sign soon: i really liked it (huge modern open kitchen, washing and drying machine, quiet... what more can one ask for).
my school has called a snow day for tomorrow so now my both physics midterm and chemistry lab have been pushed to next week... same week as my calculus midterm. just amazing. and just after my biology lab last week got pushed as well.
i am currently feeling very unmotivated, evident by how i have not been posting. but i know that i have to study or my calculus mark will be worse than last semester's so tomorrow i will force myself to walk through the blizzard to study at a cafe. i am feeling quite confident about physics however i still have not fully formatted my crib sheet. so i will do that during my study breaks tomorrow.
slight vent: a lot of my classes have been getting cancelled recently and it's really frustrating because i studied for these midterms (i was even doing physics at the bars) and now my entire study plan has been thrown out the window. also online classes and meetings are just so draining. it's really miserable to be constantly freezing then trek through a meter of snow in the rare cases when i get out of the house. i can't wait for summer. my mood is only boosted by the big glass of red wine i had last night and the prospect of hot matcha tomorrow.
images: very out of tune piano in the physics building, however still beautiful. a bagel cafe study session with a friend (im going there again tomorrow). roses i bought myself on valentines. unfortunate car.

woke up late and had to skip my biology lecture. went to my next lecture and headed to the library to do work. wifi went out campus wide when i was submitting my research application so i was struggling to connect to my data for two hours.
academic: finished my biology pre lab. attended a networking event with some professors and had a fun time with my chemistry professors.
tomorrow: biology post lab, physics problem set, physics pre lab, review for chemistry midterm.
some notes from fall semester
1/100 days of productivity
song of the day: vienna- billy joel
had three very tiring but very productive meetings today!
the fire alarm went off during my physics lecture so i had to stand outside for 30 minutes. also met with an upper year bioengineering student and now i'm very interested in applying for a transfer.
research: met with a bioengineering/biomedical engineering professor and i can happily say that i now work in a bioengineering lab. also met with my research team for the first time since the break.
academic: finished my chemistry lab report and did some calculus problems. worked on some notes.
self care: got a bit of exercise (walking) in today! unfortunately i wore my doc martens for too long yesterday so it was a little painful.

break today. a little shaken from an experience today out on the streets late at night. won’t go into much detail but I am safe now and will hopefully continue to be. had a fun lab workshop and hung out with a friend!

song of the day: cry for me- the weeknd
studied until 3 am for chemistry. did some practice midterms and rewatched all my lectures.

just read a modern au jayvik fic where viktor had a tumblr account and it kind of changed my brain chemistry. i have decided to post here from now on, documenting my life and goals. and also in part to practice my writing. i figured that having this to document things is loads better than venting to chatgpt, even if only one person sees my posts. if i end up gaining a following, or if even one person is reading this, i appreciate you and thank you. may we all forge on through the journey called life and define and evolve to be the best version of ourselves together.
