drink your coffee. read your books. it's chaos out there.
i love to wait for the hype for a movie / show / book to die down before consuming it myself. like this super popular restaurant has finally emptied and i am the only one dining here and i feel like the whole place belongs to me and me only. kind of like that

study diary —
It wasn’t as gloomy as I had thought it would be today! I got a pretty early start in my studies.
I finished the reading and homework for one of my programming classes, and then started the reading for my other programming class. I also began taking notes from my textbook for the next chapter of physics.
In the morning, I go back to the office for the first time since classes started. I worked from home last week to ease back into my studies. I’m nervous (commuting is so unproductive), but I’ll also be meeting with my advisor to discuss time management for this semester.
I also get to start research tomorrow!!

General rule of thumb when getting info from academics: hold reservation on putting too much stock on anything they talk about that isn't in their wheelhouse. Like if a guy who specializes in chemistry makes statements about history, stick those in the "ask a historian about this later" box.

10/100 days of productivity 🐣 9/18/23
the first day of class was a success! i worked for 2.5 hours in the morning and then went to class, where i met an old friend. i got a bit sidetracked after class, so i ended up chatting with my friends for a while instead of doing my homework when i intended to. i still got all of my homework done by the evening, but tomorrow, i will try to stay on schedule so i can be more productive!
