overpriced energy drink + research on TB antibiotics + 10 page chem paper to write. a long day ahead, but it's a fun way to wrap up my time in undergrad.

01/06/26 - 07/06/26 — week in review >ᴗ<

my june has been going great so far but... those few days when i felt like i was getting sick were frustrating. i'm still not sure what it was but i'm glad i'm feeling better now!

highlights of the week: ⇢ trip to the countryside; ⇢ finished the coast of utopia by tom stoppard; ⇢ hanging out with my internet friend; ⇢ the book festival; ⇢ have been really creative these past few days.

what i'm looking forward to: i really hope to feel good enough to have a guided tour of one of my favorite art gallery's exhibitions. i still don't know if i'll be able to go, but i'm so excited just thinking about it! and i'm looking forward to all the books i can read, too◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

getting through validating data sheets

reorganised my zotero-notion system

read literature for my review

worked on a writing project with my friend

finished reading two books

i've largely had a productive week! some days i randomly get really exhausted and have to nap for hours to recover, though. i also feel a bit lost in my group meetings, like i am not making as much progress as people in my research group. i have a year but i hope i submit a really strong phd proposal. i'm struggling to find grounding with my pet project at the moment.

seinfeld method days - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th

💿 just can't get enough, depeche mode (i watched all of rivals last week can you tell)

For context, Paradise Lost is on average 250-500 pages long (with Paradise Regained having a smaller 100-200 page count). So, in summary, two of the most influential pieces of English literature was written BY MEMORY, YE OLD ORAL TRADITION STYLE.

the only drawback to john green's TB advocacy is that when people discover i have an encyclopedic knowledge of tuberculosis history and drug development they ask if it's related. need a t-shirt that says "i was into TB before john green made it cool".
