When you're just too tired to do anything, but deep down, you know you gotta keep pushing forward. So here's to us taking breaks when we need them and knowing that asking for help does not mean giving up. It just means you're finding new ways to solve problems and think creatively so you may rise to meet whatever life throws at you.

Big life update: I got a Doctorate in Bioengineering. This woman of color made it. Against all doubters, haters, with all odds stacked against her.

On a cold, rainy, and stormy day in Scotland.

Studying with my favourite blanket, a hot water bottle, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium lo-fi squid playlist really is the best way to study.

2023 // I started the year writing a thesis chapter about grief. Back in January I had no idea to what extent that would become the theme of my life this year. I am kind of glad I didn’t know what was to come — I don’t think I would have felt like I could bear it. But I have born it. I am still bearing it. And yes, the grief and heartache are greater than I could have imagined it before this year. But so is the love. And despite everything, I am grateful. I am growing around my grief. And I still have a lot of growing left to do before I might be able to feel like something resembling whole. But I am growing into something bigger and better than I ever imagined. I am growing in love. And I can’t wait to see where it leads me.

#happy new year my lovelies! #i hope the next year is kinder to us #i hope there will be so much love #and I hope the grief keeps transforming from pain to love #or that at least we’ll have enough love to bear the pain #i have hope for 2024 #despite everything #i pray it will be happier for all of us #personal #phd diary

I made a thing.

...Yes I'm aware red and blue are not right and left, it adds to the chaos.

should I carry my laptop or my iPad or (to be very bold) neither when traveling for 15 days?

I have been waking up consistently early nowadays. 7am-ish is still early tho right? Started my day today with a nice walk in the rain (felt absolute invigorating and vivifying!). Then I made myself a cup of cold white coffee with Ethiopian beans and it tastes of sweet goodness of nectar. And now, I am listening to Stuff About Things: An Art History Podcast on the Shroud of Turin. An interesting listen for a skeptic and curious mind such as myself. 

Currently still working on my data analysis for chap 4. It is... going, albeit, at a dreadfully snail pace. It is taking so long because of the painstaking process due to the motifs’ meticulous details, and not to mention, my agonising OCD to ensure everything LOOKS RIGHT.

My dynamic energy budget (DEB) model using data for my study species finally resembles something coherent!

There's still so much I need to learn about this type of model before it can be used fully in my project though, and some parameters that need figuring out properly. But look! It goes!

Also, it snowed quite well over the weekend here in Scotland. So please enjoy this photo I took of a loch I stopped at while having a car-lunch at the weekend! :)
