i see so many aesthetic desk pictures and then i feel self conscious sometimes because this is my desk setup. christmas tissues (for the inevitable stress tears), four different fidgets, my airpods, a small tv and remote, a speaker from the dollar store tucked in behind, a my lab folder with a journal full of silly quotes from class and cheap pen laid on top, my ipad, and the coffee i let go cold twice this afternoon while i half listened to ochem videos and finished my lab report about the grignard reaction.

07.06.21 | Book rec time! The Norwegian (as well as English) title is "Ankomst". The story is about a young scientist who moves to the very North of Norway to study the migration of seabirds for her PhD thesis. Of course, the loneliness and the reflections on her own past as well as on the past of her cabin soon blur the lines between what's real and what's not...

It's a very gripping psycho thriller and I read it in one go! Also tagging @fluencylevelfrench because I know she's learning Norwegian 😉

noticed that i'm getting better at time management and actually getting stuff done. had a recitation for physics at 7.30 this morning so maybe that helped.

04: For my researching fellows, what are you researching on?

Uni starts again today and I am not ready...
