[11:25am]

It’s one of those days where I don’t want to be in the lab; I don’t feel interested at all, I just want to attend lectures, go home, do my assignments, eat and sleep. I don’t want to think about lab. I feel impatient with myself and my mentor (which he totally doesn’t deserve), but I just want out for today to be honest. I know that this feeling won’t last forever though, so I’ll just get through as much as I can. I’m also trying to remember that I’m not exactly the ideal person to be working with, so I’ll muster the strength to extend grace and be enthusiastic for as long as I need to be here for today.

I am in so much pain (cramps); being a woman is not a joke y’all because you really can’t catch a break. Sometimes I really get angry about having to go through this every month and I ask God why it had to be like this. I literally have to do breathing exercises to stay sane. Pheww.

I’m going to do my best to be productive though; I’ve been feeling like I’ve become complacent lately and I don’t like that, it’s so off-brand.

Photo Context: Okay, here’s the thing. I have a really sweet tooth, so these days (or past couple months), I’ve been trying to be more intentional about finding healthier options for dessert. Every time after having a meal, I just really wanna have something sweet. I’ve found greek yoghurt + honey + oats + raisins to be a good options, but I’ve realized that with the healthier stuff, I need to have more options because I get bored easily. So the other day I tried this thing I found on YouTube, it’s frozen yoghurt with cinnamon and honey, coated in dark chocolate. Honestly, I love dark chocolate, but this was just not it for me. Perhaps I did something wrong, but everything from the texture to the combo of flavors just didn’t do it for me unfortunately. I’ll try something else next time!
