looong time no see. last time you heard from me, i had just submitted my F31! well, now i come with even greater news: i passed my comprehensive exam last month.

the first of 3 major milestones in our phd program is the comprehensive exam, which consists of a 1 week long written exam and then an oral defense shortly after of your written responses. this is also when your committee asks you a bunch of questions trying to find the limits of your knowledge + seeing how you handle answering questions under pressure.

it feels GREAT to be done and preparing for that is one of the reasons I disappeared from april until now. but im so glad to be back.

other life update: we got another pup and her name is daisy.

Lol! I don't speak cat, though I've had feline friends my entire life, they're still inscrutable to me. In terms of translating language, though, my mind was pretty blown by this new HeyGen AI technology:

Finals week study ✌🥺
