I’m currently working towards the completion of my engineering degree and preparing for my masters in bioinformatics and computational biology, so I’m going to try and use this space to track my progress and talk about my passions. Additionally, there are several hobbies and activities that I want to pick up again (learning to stitch clothes, reading books, learning to draw, coding more, working out, etc etc) so the purpose of this blog to keep myself accountable.

I hope to make some friends along the way and get a lot of work done :D

i have a lot of things to do this semester. my classes, the last lap of the final year project, SOPs to write, two extra credit courses to complete online, atleast one proper programming language to learn properly. I also gotta email labs for internships, prep for GRE and TOEFL/IELTS and apply to universities for masters. And obviously being the chaotic ADHD mess I am I can’t be sure how many of these tasks I’ll actually be able to complete. and I’m freaking out. I also feel like I’m missing out several tasks, and… ahh!!!!!!

at the same time there are also a million other non-academic things I want to do. like learn German (this will actually help for masters opportunity), learn how to use Blender, read more books (i have 22 unread books at home that I wanna complete by the end of the year), exercise daily, learn to cook…. yeah. I don’t know. why does a day only have 24hours boooo

maybe I will make a time table. not something super rigid but just as a tool to help assign enough time per week for all these tasks so that I can actually do all the stuff. there will be updates.

35/100 days of productivity

(had to update this last night but I was already up until late so here it is hehe) I went to watch Oppenheimer! it took several weeks of planning and postponing but my friends and I finally made it xD. it was such an incredible experience to watch in IMAX, especially in an auditory sense, the soundtrack is pretty insane.

We had lunch after at Taco Bell and spoke for several hours. I hadn’t seen these friends in a long time (they’re working while I’m still doing my degree so our schedules never match up) so we had a lot of catching up to do.

I reached home super late after but I was feeling refreshed so I got to work and spent about three hours on my final project. We got on call to discuss the next steps. One of our procedures gave us an unexpected expected result so we need to go back to the raw data and restart. Yeah. stuff like that.

Other than that, I did a bit of duolingo. I didn’t have the time to exercise though :/ hoping to be more physically active tomorrow :D

34/100 days of productivity

today was way less productive than the weekdays :/ I did very little of duolingo and just a few hours of college work in the morning. I started reading Little Women! I’m also listening to the audio book version and it’s so much fun to listen to! (I use the Librevox app, it’s a free resource for audiobook versions of classics, I think it’s running on the basis of volunteer work and it’s the coolest thing ever) I also went to the market to get groceries and walked the way back as exercise.

yep, thats about it, hope you’re having a fun and productive weekend besties <3

  • About Me

    I'm a 4th year biotechnology student aiming to persue my masters in bioinformatics and computational biology. I am fascinated by all things science- from organic chemistry to outer space. I also love reading, writing, music, film, mythology, art.

    I hope to use this space for digital journaling- to be more mindful and present to the life I'm living. I also want to get better with my planning and organizational skills so that I can be more productive while also finding time to the things I love.

    I hope to update this page as I commit to more projects and complete them <3
