Hobbies:
I practiced bass for about 30 minutes. I'm currently working on Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones, which I'm pretty comfortable with, and am in the early stages of the long term process that is learning cold weather by glass beach. Progress made on both fronts...I think when I'm done with Wild Horses I want to learn crazy little thing called love by queen. The bass line is very bouncy.
Got a few chapters into Paved Paradise, by Henry Grabar, which looks at parking in the US. Very interesting so far, and I like the author's writing style.
Tomorrow:
I'm planning to get up by 8 (going to bed shortly) and hopefully hang out with a friend before she leaves for school. No definitive plans yet but either tomorrow or the day after should work.
I would like to! Make! Progress! on the things I have been putting off doing! And will update with that if I follow through haha
Also intend to do some small errands and/or chores <3 I love arranging things and keeping everything tidyyy
2025!!!
I'm hoping to do a little better at a few things this year. Practice for whenever I'm able to move out (hopefully sometime this summer, if I get an internship), just getting some better habits and such. There's a LOT with that so I'm gonna discuss those in below the readmore. I'm planning on using the smart goal technique (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) for these.
i'm looking forward to the next few months. I have a few different hobby projects going on (a painting, learning some songs on bass, refinishing a table, and I got a camera that's coming in next week so I'm hoping to play around with photography a bit). The camera I got partially because I don't really know what's happening for me after graduation, and I want to document any new place that I go or fun experiences. I think it'll be nice!
I have some school projects going on as well. I'm going to try and get published using my thesis from last semester (we'll see how that goes), I'm presenting at a tutoring conference, I'm getting to travel to Costa Rica for an ecology class (!!!), and there will just be fun and exciting things this last semester. It's a bit stressful to have no idea what's happening after, but I'm also a bit excited by it!
I'm intending to track things a bit here, so I might be posting more, but there is also no promise I'll keep up with that of course. We saw how that went last semester.

Applying for internships and they all require like five questions with 1-3 paragraph response length I forgot how much I HATE this teehee

HEY
For all you WONDERFUL FIC WRITERS who made the mistake of following me
LOOK AT THIS
I- I didn’t realize this but it’s so true
If anyone wants, I will compile and organize all the job boards I have bookmarked relating to biology, plants, conservation, fieldwork, research, and such positions. THERE ARE A LOT. I don't want to do this unless it would be helpful because it would take like. An entire afternoon just to go through my job bookmarks folder, much less organize and write additional advice. And that is not an exaggeration that is based on past efforts.
I think I also have an ancient reblog on my main blog with a lot of resources so I'll look for that too if people want. But lmk about all of these bc otherwise I'm going to put this off for a good few months. I wanna help people in a similar boat to myself but if no one is going to see or need it there's not much point in prioritizing it, instead of doing it when I have free time to work on it slowly over a longer academic break. So to be clear, I'll do it regardless, just. If people need help with that stuff soon lmk so I don't post about it too late for it to be really taken advantage of.
If people have other jobs seach related questions or concerns pls feel free to ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Note: these job boards are almost all focused on U.S.-based positions
HI things are going well but there's a lot and posting on here I the way I would like to takes a lot longer than I thought it would. So! I am not really doing that.
Quick update: thesis is going great I'm revising my results section and then I just gotta draft my discussion and I'll have all the writing sections mostly done :> I'm ahead of schedule pretty well actually hehe. Classes are, for the most part, all fun and pretty chill. Work is going well but I'm doing a lotttttt of workshops and taking extra hours. And then there's a lotta extracurriculars (volunteering and committee meetings) and job hunting so my free time is kinda lacking. But I've been getting decently consistent sleep, so that's nice!
geology students will literally say shit like “my dirt class was cancelled today” or “the professor for my class on sand gave us homework about worms” like we’re 8 year olds on the playground inventing new terms for playing in the grass during recess
I had a class that was "we went to the garden and after my professor read a poem about dirt we could leave"

sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.
thank you to whoever made this meme, it's a big hit in the lab and sends microbiologists into hysterics
