hope on hope
I'm back in the city again, starting my internship! I need to reevaluate my wardrobe—all my clothes are either lab-inappropriate or just straight up heatstroke-causing, which is bad because I'll be doing a lot of running around campus for this. I don't know how I'll get through an entire month of this without caving and buying new clothes, but I hope I do.
I've spent so long without doing wet labs that I don't even have suitable outfits or lab gowns anymore, and I'm kind of scared to find out if I can still make a decent cotton plug. I panic-searched all of the relevant procedures and looked through the lab's published papers again tonight, so I think I should be fine when they're training me. I hope. Please let me be fine.
In other news, I have a lot of plans for this month, so I hope I can get around to at least some of them. Hopefully I won't spend too long in the lab every day, or at least finish my required hours earlier than I expected!
Here's what I want to do before my internship ends and senior year starts:
- Study for my senior year classes. I badly need to get ahead—I can't keep living the way I have these past three years, stuck on survival mode. I mean, I did get results, but I feel like I gave myself more grief than necessary. It'll be hard, but I hope I get to make good on this one.
- Finish my current fic! I have it all planned out, so it's only a matter of execution. If I pull it off, it'll be my longest to date, which is crazy because I started out purely as a oneshot writer maxing out at around 1-2k.
- Start an original story. My new daily lab setting is giving me so many worldbuilding ideas. I really want to get this all fleshed out with characters and lore and everything.
- Get a decent amount of sleep every night. This is...not off to a good start, considering the ungodly hour in which I am writing this, but there's always a new day to start.
Hope you're staying hydrated!
P.S. Happy Pride ♥🏳🌈
