4 April 2025

I've been working on my chem tech slides all day and I'm still not done :') So much work for a single presentation. I'm glad at least I came up with a topic I find interesting, so I'm not just suffering through the whole thing.

I made some cobalt compounds in inorganic synthesis yesterday and as always the photos had nothing on the irl colors. Coordination chemistry is so cool

I have this week to make some progress on my experimental design, but I actually have the time to do it because classes are over! Yay!

My student starts April 22nd and so I’m starting to feel the pressure a bit. I honestly should not have a student yet before I have any experience in the lab, but I do. So. I have some shit to prep before all of this comes down.

In the meantime, I am planning a BBQ for Pasqua, just to have something to look forward to. We’re already 20 in number and a few more people need to get back to me.

Am I overwhelmed? Definitely.

Finally getting out of the grading crunch that's been haunting me. Peep the edge of the final ten exams on the left side.

the good weather almost has me feeling like a human being again what's this

-> IAED project (37/64 tests - tried to get command d to work, but couldn't really focus and gave up after a while. i'm a disaster)

-> setup my storygraph (just cause the graphs.. the graphs... are pretty...)

-> writing (total: 4h00)

-> continued reading Trust, by Hernan Diaz (finished another section - My Life, by Andrew Bevel - and started the next one)
