Literally so exhausted all the time...

On the hardest days, I tell myself that at least my parents are proud.

But then again, it's not like they wouldn't be if I weren't doing this.

It becomes easy to forget how well someone knows you whom you didn't expect to remember.

When you bless others, you'll be blessed greatly in return. It's a good day.

To-Do

For someone who loves getting things done and checking off items on a to-do list, I really picked a weird career path where I could be actively doing things for day/weeks/months and really get nothing done.

NSF GRFP Fellowship!

So psyched to be a recipient of the NSF GRFP Fellowship! Just in time for second-year orals, and to have the next (last?) three years of my program funded. (Please don't kick me out?)

A huge shout-out to all those who helped with the application process (especially Richard for proposal edits and Joey for general application tips and essay edits)! Additionally, thanks to Schultzy and everyone from Bay Awesome for helping me with my application two years ago, which I used as my foundation for the application this cycle (and made the process much much less painful). And of course, praise God for this opportunity!

Updates!

Happy belated Easter! He is risen!

I found housing for next year! Need to finalize the details, but I'm excited for my new place (although I'll miss my current room, and moving is a pain...)

I've been feeling uncharacteristically tired/sick/stressed for way too long... Prayers please?

Orals are going to suck.
