Something about the blue LEDs that look like they might be used to backlight a waterfall, and barely audible conversation over the monotonous undertone of air rushing by the plane makes for efficient writing. Not the best, but efficient.
It's scary to report that after this semester, I will be halfway through college. Halfway! When you say half, it comes out so quietly and yet reading "1/2" is particularly difficult on the eyes. The denominator isn't helping. Three (3) semesters have come and gone so much faster than I might have imagined, and I was thinking how I literally could not remember any of the courses I took freshman year second semester (which was last year).
I think I've been jumping around a lot, research-wise, interests-wise, courses-wise, and while it's been good to poke around a little bit and see what I like, I think I want to make this semester the one where I settle in, dig deep. In general, I would like to be more mindful. I don't really take much time to myself between working on one thing or another, and I always think I don't have time for anything extraneous - I def do. I would also like to do this: I have this thing where if I leave something off on a self-perceived good-note, whether a project or a conversation, I will try to fester on that good thing for as long as possible. Like a gift that keeps giving, one that I don't wanna open in fear of ruining the surprise. I'm putting my foot down on that.
So, I'm making some goals for myself this semester. A bucket list. In no particular order:
Ik this seems performative, but y'know, no one will see it anyways...
