Since Utah celebrates Pioneer Day tomorrow, here is an actual conversation:

Mormon: I wonder what the land (Utah) looked like when the Pioneers came.

Me: You can ask the Native Americans.

My grad school cohort is one of the worst cohorts and while I don’t blame the professors for disliking us since the quality of our work/effort is poor, I’m also giving myself all the grace because I’ve been literally working full time alongside full time grad school.

The past year has been actually insane and I finally feel like I’m in a bigger/better headspace to ease back into the (internet) world.

Hello.

I am way too uninterested in work today. I'm having very domestic fantasies. I wanna be at home crafting

My win today is going to lab early and starting on the most complicated station so that my lab partner and I aren’t waiting for other groups to work out the kinks of the station. We took our time and got finished early.

For school, we have this collaborative project involving 4 different universities and 3 different time zones and it has been chaotic to actually get stuff done.

Ok but the butterflies and stars on here are very pretty.

Among other things, sitting in traffic for an hour after a 3 hour Biostats lecture every Friday is slowly taking away my sanity.

is this thing on?

(poor joke, i know)
