₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊ winter term recap ₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

january - march 2025

with the end of this term, i can officially close the door on the first half of my bachelor's degree. it's taken closer to 3 years than 2 to get to this point, but the finish line is clearer now than it's ever been.

it's been an especially good term for my research aspirations – in january i started on a cell bio project with my adviser, got recruited by my ecology prof in february, and in march was accepted to a summer position in a biochemistry lab. i love my classes, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing quite like lab work for learning how to actually be a scientist.

Song: fearless (taylor's version) - taylor swift

Not a lot of studying this week. Ended up submitting an assignment 2 week early, new module doesn't start for another week and prep materials haven't been released yet, and waiting for my supervisor to get back to me before I can start my phd application. Took advantage to have a break and enjoy some crafts.

King Arthur did not, in fact, protect me. I had to change my thesis subject to linguistics and now I’m back at square one.

Now it’s up to De Saussure whether I graduate or not
