Yeah.

yeah.

G'day! Lets do 📍🗑️📖 for the ask game <3

Hello hello, tysm for the ask!! <3

🗑️ have you always wanted to be in your field? what was your “almost-field?

already answered this question here, but TLDR: i never really had a dream field, and my almost field was something along the lines of computer science

📖 a book/reading from your field you’d recommend/really enjoyed?

uuuh okay, i never really read many books in my field. Im currently using Physics in Nuclear Medicine to study for my radiation class, and im really enjoyed it so far. it's really easy to read, and explains everything so well, even if you don't remember all the basic formulas and concepts.

Also, Stuart's Calculus was really fun, tho i only read a couple chapters

📍 an academic pet peeve of yours?

ARGHHHH this literally happened to me today. FUCKIN. MEN. INTERRUPTING. YOU. AS. IF. THEY. HAVE. MORE. IMPORTANT. THINGS. TO. SAY. THAN. YOU. i know this happens in all fields, but omg some STEM men are just so awful, today this guy was interrupting me so much during class when the professor asked ME to speak, that eventually the professor had to ask him to shut up (which was even more surprising bc he's so his favorite student)

Also, med students belittling my medicine subjects. we're literally learning the same thing, bestie. and even if we weren't, you don't see me mocking your joke of math's class (this is mostly a Portugal problem tbh, we still act like med students are gods)

and lastly, constants in physics being called K, like all of them. and other naming mistakes in variables, like kinetic energy sometimes being T??? and frequency being a weird ass greek letter that looks like a v

anyways, sorry for the huge post, i loved answering those questions <3

Wednesday, the 6th of September 2023

Not enough sleep the past couple of days made it hard to become enthusiastic about the day ahead. Although I am very pleased that by tomorrow I'll have my very own jigsaw and orbital sander to build new furniture as well as the material for a floating shelf for my yoga mats and a beautiful dog crate/shelf.

Things on my mind

8 am practice

Buy pet food for travels

Buy tools and materials for projects

Term paper reading & first draft abstract

6 pm student journal meeting

Continue packing list for Denmark

Make khinkali

fyi

Gender reveal parties, and big planned reveals, literally were not a thing ten, fifteen years ago. Don’t let anyone pull that “it’s a tradition!” crap on you, youngsters. They’re LYING. People would either get the ultrasound or not to find out about the genitals, and tell people or not. That was that.

The fuss over “revealing” a baby’s gender in utero stinks of pushback against the shift toward a more nuanced understanding of gender. I mean yeah part of it is social media, and trends catching on, but don’t think for a minute this isn’t part of some regressive attitudes creeping into the mainstream with a cute (blue or pink) bow on it.

Inspired by everyone I know seeming to have an opinion about my career choice
