    I’m taking a class on RNA-protein complexes, which is totally new to me, so reading this paper is taking super duper long. At least some champagne makes it more bearable!

    I pretty much have no life for the next few days because I’m writing my thesis! Anyway I use the app Duet Display to use my iPad as a second screen, which increases my productivity so I’m not regretting my $15 purchase lol 🙂

    My PI said it’s time to drop the experiments (for now) and write my thesis! I won’t be sleeping for the next few days as I need to come up with a decent draft by Tuesday. Time to get some coffee and positive vibes!

    Btw, I’m eternally grateful for Endnote’s cite while you write feature. You are saving my ass.

    juggling between classes, research, and grad apps is extremely tiring. currently working on personal statements. on a brighter note, this stumptown coffee is amazing! personally i usually like cream in my coffee, but this cold brew is super good by itself 😍

    OneNote saves my ass by keeping my experiments organized!
