Geologist: I do more math than you might think

Chemist: I mean, chemical equations are basically mathematical equations. If you think about it (I also do math math)

Physicist: Oh, yeah, it’s all math but we just handwave it

Mathematician: YOU DO WHAT!?

Quantum Physicist: *regularly does math that is literally beyond human comprehension* *now resides in a higher plane of existence*

Engineer: If I don’t do this math correctly PEOPLE WILL DIE

Military Scientist: If I don’t do this math correctly PEOPLE WILL SURVIVE

Topologist: If I don’t do this math correctly PEOPLE WILL BE MOSTLY UNAFFECTED

Philosopher: But what even IS math, really? No seriously, what is it?

Organic Chemist: I kinda forgot how to do math, to be honest

Biologist: I literally only chose this field so I wouldn’t have to do as much math. I love stamp collecting

Another day.

Studying for my level II biostatistics midterm and trying to stay warm.

Tbh I've lost track. Let's say 6 days:

Day 1: ✅ Day 2: ✅ Day 3: ❌ Day 4: ❌ Day 5: ✅ Day 6: ✅

Sigh. I don't want to talk about days 3 and 4. The last two days have been filled with adrenaline. I have a midterm tomorrow morning for my Biostatistics course and I am learning the material for the first time TONIGHT. (and yesterday, but very little). I might need to pull an all nighter for this.

Luckily, I ended up finding a nice little cafe that closes at 1am for my to park at and study for the night. It's 11:20pm as I write this, and I've been studying almost nonstop since 1pm, with the exception of eating, showering, and walking here which took ~2hrs in total. The only bad thing is that (probably to deter students from staying here too late), they shut off their Wifi and ban computers after 3pm. highly homophobic if i say so myself. But they seem to have no problem with me doing the same schoolwork on my phone? that's fine ig.

total study time so far: 5:30 hrs, then shower break, and 1:30 hrs at the coffee shop so far....

me, who only ever made one (1) ggplot: *cricket noises*

Back after a long time...

Again during exam session 😫

I’ve been trying to dig in the bibliographies of the sources I’m referencing but it’s all either botany books that I have to buy, or digging into the writing of the guy who found it (and he did not record the sizes in his text so that was a dead end)
