[1:20pm]

I’m in the middle of an experiment (alone, without my mentor) and I’m SO EXCITED!!!! I know that I’ve complained non-stop the past couple of days about feeling so lost, but today, I’m grateful for this experiment that I get to do. It’s a protocol I’ve done before, so it’s good practice. (Sidenote: I started an entry at exactly 1:20pm yesterday as well; crazy!).

[8:41pm]

Man, I feel tired. Ever since I got home from lab around 6pm, all I’ve done is eat and watch ‘Fresh off the Boat’. I just want to get one or two more things done before heading to bed; wish me luck! It’s been such a wholesome day: I woke up early, I went for a run (first time in a month because of knee issues), had Bible Study with my mentor which left me feeling encouraged, lab was good, and my roommate got me boba because she was celebrating something related to her research. Also, I had a call with a friend of mine today which left me feeling so good. I honestly feel so blessed. Not all days are good days, but man, when the good days roll by, bask in them. During the dark days, remember that the good days have happened before and they will come by again eventually 🙂

Photo Context: This was taken from a nice rooftop restaurant in Chicago where I still maintain I had the BEST steak of my entire life. I’m afraid every other steak I’ve ever had (and will ever have) is subject to comparison to that specific one. My friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a cute little outing; we got our nails done and everything. Sometimes you just need something nice like that, y’know? Mhm.
