Always loved presenting and luckily I'm not scared of public speaking... I just get very anxious about my work being up for unfiltered debate/criticism and still need to learn to limit how much I let it affect me. I hope practice will help make it better, I still leave these things second guessing myself

Even though my summer is quite regimented, to prepare for fall semester, I am still embracing the whimsy whenever possible . ݁₊

in other news, the semester may have ended but i'm inundated with marking assessments. at least i don't have to rush to classes, i guess? i have been working from home because my office is undergoing renovations and it is a headache to keep shifting from one hotdesk to the other. also, starting to draft a new chapter on storytelling as an archival method. what am i doing? i've no idea.

gm !! today im just catching up on data analysis and learning how to image on the afm-ir !! i accidentally forgot to charge my ds, so hopefully it survives lunch break (*T^T)

P.S. changed the look of the YouTube channel again to match the current journal I am using, sorry for the constant changes :(

I have so much to do this week that just writing them down in my planner has made me anxious

another day, yet another mention of franny choi. i’ve come to realise that my work tends to center around two main poets and idk how to feel about that ? because i genuinely don’t know if it’s because i like them or it’s because i haven’t looked around enough to find new ones. idk if this makes sense (im just rambling here) but it’s definitely related to my impostor syndrome acting up :/ anyway
