04.29.25. Alright Substack, let's try again. Just released "What I didn't learn from my parents..." & I'm slowly (& painfully) trying to get used to the fact that I write deeply revealing stuff. And that's okay, I guess?

There's a level of detachment that's required for this sort of thing, which I've had many years to practice, & with time I'm sure it'll bother me less & less.

well, I kind of disappeared after the exam session, but I want to try to come back here. a lot has happened during this time, but here are the main and most recent updates:

I’m in the final semester of my bachelor’s degree, so right now I’m working on my thesis and preparing for an exam that covers all areas of physics.

yesterday, I presented a presentation I had worked on for a very long time and with great effort and my scientific poster won.

unfortunately, I kind of stopped doing figure skating and working out for a while, but I’m trying to get into the habit of going to the gym regularly again and recently I messaged my figure skating coach.

so far this year, I’ve read 8/30 books and started posting reviews of them, so I think I’ll share them here too.

currently reading: Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood.
