    Time to read more papers! Been loving these cold pressed juices lately, I figured I should drink more of these since I don’t really eat a lot of fruits and veggies on the daily 😅

    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!

    29 May 2016 Today’s study space is in a coffee shop! Hopefully I can wrap up my thesis tonight so I can send it to my PI. Please send positive vibes! ☺️

    Today’s study location is the basement of the library! I hope to finish all the writing today, since I have a bioinformatics paper that’s due on Tuesday 😓
    This past week went by hella fast and it’s crazy because I’m defending my thesis AND graduating in less than two weeks!

    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.

    Spending my only day off from the lab in a coffee shop and working on my seminar two weeks from now. Positive vibes are appreciated! I’m doing a talk on a topic outside my research, so I have lots of preparation to do 😅
