remember in fleabag when claire and fleabag were sitting at the cemetery and claire said "I can't wait to be old" like i don't know why but that line fundamentally changed my brain chemistry. she said it so tiredly but at the same time how fucking revolutionary is it to see someone on television express anything other than distaste for getting older, especially a woman? claire is my fucking favorite
time to set my goals (late) for the next semester of school:
dedicate more time my research project :)
achieve a high gpa (especially in my physics, mandarin, and literature classes)
receive a score of 1400+ on my first sat in december!
submit essays to journals and writing competitions
apply to a few different summer courses!
find more time to journal and reflect
i know these are pretty intense goals but i know i can achieve them :) i am also moving houses soon so i really hope this year i can learn how to prioritise and stay on top of things more!
if you're interested in astronomy/cosmology but aren't really math savvy i really recommend this review on the history of the dark matter problem. it's really accessible for the most part, and you will be able to understand why physicists will say with a straight face that only about 5% of the universe is detectable
I will say as a math person there is this weird degree to which it makes me like, angry to read about physics. like it just frustrates me, the way they write. it gets on fucking nerves.

i feel bad for bigender people, the commute between Jupiter and college has got to be rough

my main goal in life is to be wrong about quantum physics in ways that make me sound smarter than the other people inevitably wrong people around me
