💌 hi!! today was a tiring day. my cramps still kind of suck and everything hurts :(( it's taking a lot of energy to work up the motivation to start a task lately. but I tried my best! I read for a bit today, it's been a while, it was nice :))

Stuff I did

🧬 Proteogenomics Lecture Notes [7/7] 🧹 Clear out the closet

29th & 30th Oct || 99 - 100 days of 150dop

I have reached day 100! My initial DOP goal has been met!! Yay! Now I have 50 days of productivity (and 30working days of university) left! It's so daunting that I'm close to the finish line I'm so nervous and excited and everything in between !!!!!

My next (final) semester of uni is allocated for internships- and when I asked my final project guide for advice, she told me about this one lab focusing on Computational Systems Biology. I've spent the past couple days researching about them now- their projects, members, published papers, etc etc. Lucky for me, they do some of the coolest work and it's exactly what I'm interested in! And yesterday I finally managed to gather the courage (emails are so intimidating 😣😣) and bits and pieces of my scant academic vernacular and ended up emailing the PI about potential internship opportunities. The task took so much of my mental energy that I spent the rest of the evening tired and unproductive.

However, it was all worth it when I opened my email on the way back from Uni today and noticed that the PI emailed back!! He agreed to have a call to discuss my interests and whether I'd be a good fit for his lab. The interview is on Thursday!! I'm excited nervous freaking out!! I've started looking deeper into his work and brushing up my basics as well so I can leave a good impression, let's see how it goes.

Other than that, my friends and I hung out at a cafe today after class, it was a fun time <3 I also got spotify premium with my friends xD
