Went the cutest coffee shop to console myself for the Berkeley Law rejection & ended up finishing a whole week of work

a new month is here so I wanted to give some summaries for last month :) I do love data

above are the books I finished reading this month* and my receiptify summary of my top 10 songs this month! all but 3 are from the HTTYD soundtrack 🤭 (*finished, but not necessarily started this month)

and here are my summaries for studying and reading! I'm surprised I spent less time on stats homework than reading, but I'm not mad about it :)

no goals for this month, just to keep keeping on and doing my best 🌷🪻☀️

Work as hard as you can and then be happy in the knowledge you couldn’t have done any more.

What a magical day! It felt like spring was here already. I feel very grateful to have the student life I have now. Despite of the stress of my physics project and seemingly pointless job applications, my friends at uni really help me to feel balanced. I went to a bookstore in town and picked up a book as a birthday present for a friend.

29/100 days of productivity | January 27, 2024

I realized that, in the chaos with my illness and everything else, I accidentally skipped my favorite part of the writing process. after reading through my sources several times, following a different logic each time, I like to draw up a long list of random observations in no particular order. since I already have some kind of framework for the subchapter, arranging them will be a bit easier, but, at the same time, the nature of these observations will also shape the subchapter's logic. so, with that, the writer's block is (probably) sorted out, and now I can finally make substantial progress.

☕️ Don't you just love cozy cafes?

First two weeks this second semester is crazy. I'm not joking. Had to do a lot of work for research, psych, and med-surg. There would be times where I felt so exhausted, I'd sleep at around 8:30 without brushing my teeth. Yikes! Hoping this week would be better.

Also, the matcha latte was ok taste wise. The gyudon was great! Hope it had more meat though 😌

Unexpectedly, I’m back and doing more reading and coffee drinking than ever! It’s been a while since I posted on here, the final couple terms of my undergraduate moved away from the traditional studying format. But I have somehow found myself starting a Masters, so the cafe and study session energy has returned in full force.
