On Today's Todo List:

focus on the likes and not the wants

you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after

you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared

you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings

you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love

you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident

you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you

you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it

09.03.2025—a semi-productive weekend. trying to find a balance with taking time off and getting work done because there’s lots to do

[01/05] life has been so peaceful lately. (maybe because I have been neglecting the 7 courses I have to attend to. maybe).

All the things that made my life full—sciences, not the least of them—an ever-unfolding journey of discovery where every question opens a new world of answers

Coffee this morning - reading ‘On writing well’ by William Zinsser.

Watched a webinar on GI pathologies and pulmonary fibrosis.

Did some data/SQL review.

~life lately ~

life has been very crazy and so not productive these past couple of weeks. i hit an all time high for burnout this year so I took some time off work *intending* to be productive and do school but I just ended up resting and reading most of the time with some school mixed in.

i've also started a new non-fiction book, adopted a cat, and started tae kwon do classes again. i used to do it when i was younger and got my first degree black belt when i was 14 :) it's somewhat healing my inner child but anything to get out of the house these days.

my finals are over!! my first year of graduate school finished... I didn't take any pictures during the week while studying besides this one at the library haha. also i found a professor to start research with over the summer, the first assignment is to help with a supernova Ia literature search :D

I did two more presentations at work, now I am finally done with those for a little while lol

I finished going through the modules for the NVIDIA cert, now I just have to study and pass the exam

I finished going through the first chapter of my ham radio study book. it's been a hot second since I've taken a physics course, but luckily I'm mostly remembering it as I go

I've continued to drink copious amounts of tea

I made a trip to a local electronics store to get some parts for a project

I read a bunch and added some new entries to my commonplace book
