27 October 2025

Not my greatest day. Usually I have no problem volunteering to solve a problem on the blackboard and even on the rare occasion that I do get called on randomly, I know the answer more often than not. But today I really didn't know the answer - and apparently neither did anyone else, because the professor called on me :/ Not my best performance, but we roll. Failure is just part of the process and at least now I know where the gaps in my knowledge are and what I need to work on.

In some more positive news, for the catalysis seminar we have to make a presentation based on a paper assigned to us by the professor. Somehow the prof remembered that I once mentioned I work with the lanthanides, so he gave me a paper on some lanthanide compounds :)

• day 16/? • [12 sep ‘25]

today's log:

morning shift in the archives (I've been stopping for a latte macchiato and a pastry every time I go and it's been an excellent way to end the week!)

5 🍅 session at the association study space (started my big review of the main texts for the written admissions exam, didn't do as much as I would have liked but trying to be gentle with myself, it's been a long week and I need a short rest)

I got unexpectedly called in to be asked if I wanted to join the staff of the association study/co-working spaces, since I'm there so often lately, and even though it's an extra responsibility in a time where I'd need fewer things to think about, honestly, it was an automatic yes from me, so I'll have a trial period soon and that's that on that. Going to take tonight to recharge so I can make the most out of this last weekend before the admissions exam to review what I can.

Oh how lucky I am to live near flower fields. Sometimes I look at them and I wonder why life can't just feel like that all the time. These days I fight hard to protect my peace, but it comes at the cost of losing friends.
