quiet week on campus

just two and a half weeks of class left in the term (and in my bachelor's degree). i'm starting to get that achey, full feeling in my chest whenever i think about it – four years is a long time, but the months, especially now, are short.

rereading frankenstein as a real-life scientist instead of a high schooler is slightly alarming because victor and i have a similar approach to work-life balance in the chemistry lab.

What a slow day. I took my work break outside, drank lots of water, thought about cutting my hair. Someone across the street was enjoying an Italian radio station. With my open window I was enjoying it with them :-)

nostalgia-baiting myself by using crash course videos to study for my E&M exam

exam tomorrow; cramming; staying hydrated; send help.

day trip to the museum hehe

I spent the rest of the day studying for the History of Cinema exam i have tomorrow. It’s the hardest exam i have this year and also the one with the least credits, which is very annoying. But i guess thats just how these things go sometimes.

Cannot wait for this to be over, but I've also been rediscovering my love for the language, I won't lie... I love mandarin, I just hate college lol. Exam season kills me every time, I am not thriving, but at least I have coffee and HSK vlogs. Been really fun studying for a listening exam where I don't have to practice characters as much... That's probably my least favorite part. That being said I'm not too great at listening lol so I've been practicing a lot!
