i've been pretty sick for while now but i'm finally feeling better today. i won't leave the house yet but i'll work on some things from home. my plans are:

finish Jane Eyre

write a journal entry

listen to the news and a french podcast (it's on a rather light-hearted topic – fitting for a slow day)

annotate some of Dark Ecology

catch up on uni classes i missed and watch today's cataloging class from home (thank god it's always live streamed)

work on my paper which i'm finally making progress on

watch Bridgerton while crocheting :)

2025. 10. 22 | Wednesdays are always so slow.

Refreshing on thermodynamics in the context of microbiology and it's so slow. That's ok tho.

My priorities this week:

Thermodynamics/bioenergetics → what does that mean for my bugs?

Bioreactor cycle study

Brainstorming future RQs

Prepping for 3 month agreement meeting

I've taken to using my journal notebook to stay engaged with my project. Disconnecting so hard, esp on my commute or over the weekend, makes it hard for me to get back into the material and I'm realizing that the effort it takes for me to think about my project during non-work hours is less than the work it takes for me to reconnect with what I had done previously during work hours.

FALL BREAK

My mind goes and I die whenever you admit that you have sinned,

and through my limbs cold drops flow.

Then I love, then in vain I hate what I must love;

Then I want to be dead – but with you!

had to wake up at 5:45 because some handymen were coming over. but at least i can use this as an opportunity to study hard today. my plans are:

read some of Jane Eyre while commuting

work on one of my papers

go to a guided tour of the university library depot

take a nap and wash my hair. i feel like self-care is very important today

apply to some jobs
