🟦🌼 prospectus work 3.14.26

Had a productive hour on the phone with my advisor, and it looks like this will be the last round of prospectus revisions before we go to the defense. Yippee! How rare for me to be ahead of schedule lol. I’m so grateful for how this project has unfolded.

Now I have to lock in on grading. I promised my students I’d have their essays back by Monday. I brought this upon myself but …..ughhhhhhh. So it’s back at the coffee shop with the time timer. ⏲️ I ran into K, who is doing the exact same thing ahaha. At least the weather is glorious and spring has started to arrive. :)

Conference update: done! 3h of poster presentation, overwhelming but a lit of interesting questions, that will i think help me for the intro of the thesis.

I visited as much of the campus (and coffee stands) as I could, and enjoyed having my own bathroom immensely :)
