Honestly, can relate. For the longest time I didn’t actually know the word  “cellphone.” The worst part about that one is that I would just use the word “telephone” but say it with the language’s accent... My parents understood what I meant but extended family did not...

learning a language by self study is knowing extremely specific and niche words but not knowing the word for tree

Job Hunting Struggles Diary #3

Copying over your friendly, primitive text resume only to find that the website will auto bold it and it cant be unbolded so now you have to retype it all

Finding out invalid characters will be auto replaced after a submission is made and it is too late to retract it...

Tbh the feeling of burning out sometimes never ends. Personally, I found for me that between semesters it helped to force myself to do literally anything other than stay in bed. But to this day I still sometimes just feel half in the moment

hello yes i’ve been burnt out for approximately two years now

Nifty new mechanical keyboard.

Anyone who knows me can basically echo locate me in a lecture hall from the sound of my typing. People would genuinely know when to check their messages just from the style of my typing. Part of the reason I was typing so loudly was because I enjoyed the clicking on my nails on the keys, so as a gift this year I was given a lovely RGB keyboard. 

Will people avoid existing around me in the future? Probably.

Feeling particularly festive at home this year. You’ll never guess but there are actually four strings of lights on this tree. This is the first time since I started university that I really had the energy to set up the little tree.

Had a brief moment of snow. Naturally, I had to go outside and enjoy the falling flakes :)

I can relate. Toward the end of my degree I was beginning to just skim read and look for key words rather than read an entire paper.

When I was 12, I could read entire books in just a few hours, and now, that I am a student, and need to read scientific papers, I can’t read one without going insane.

#reblog #the papers arent always riveting either #some are filled with a lot of transition sentences too

LaTeX is superior to all!

All hail easy formatting!

I installed LaTeX for Mac today. Then I received notice that the physics faculty offers a LaTeX introductory course, using Overleaf. It’s literally LaTeX but for the web browser, it has templates and it’s collaborative, too.

In Canada we also get the iron ring. Im so ready to just march around shoving a metal ring in everyone's faces 🤣

Watch me be super annoying when I get my bachelor’s degree. I will literally sign all my mails with “Sincerely, B. Eng. Julia [censored]”. I will let everyone in my closer vicinity know that I have my degree, whether I want to or not. It’s my hard work and my degree, so I get to gloat. 😤

“The Woman in Cabin 10″ My opinion below (Spoilers maybe? I try to be vague haha)

Honestly, the three other books written by Ruth Ware I raved about after finishing them. I wanted to get my hands on the next book, to read another thrilling tale, but this book fell flat.

It fell so flat that at one point the plot was moving so slowly that I started reading two other books as breaks from this novel. When the plot started picking up again, my disappointment started. Although I was not expecting the plot twist that approached near the end, the unveiling of the woman who was in cabin 10 just was not... dramatic? It genuinely felt so unsatisfactory to me. 

I kept reading past the plot twist, not fully immersed in the story and honestly just reading for the sake of finishing the book.

The ending left me closing the book and just staring at the cover. I was so disappointed.
