• stanford essays topics are weird
day 37:50days::

• 4 hours milkyway. I've been really pushing myself to the edge these days, also with thesis and since that one group member never does anything... My friends in other groups experience it too, although it's even worse there... I've already met my 80 hour requirement(by the time we finish it'll probably go up to around 100) , and the other 2 people have around 60-70, and the last one has 40~ max. I don't like it but yeah, how do you force someone to do their task?

• the crystals are so pretty! can't wait to see the alum crystal tomorrow:heartarrow-blue:
• I finished escape room 1... and I'm kind of sad. I feel relieved that it's 'over', but at the same time as if I've abandoned a part of me...:yay-mimi:
• ALMOST 100 HOURS LET'S GO! I joined sometime around 3 months ago so that would be I coded around 1 hr a day(def not the case, but it makes me happy to think this)
• long day at school tmr(8:30-5pm) :P
day 26:50days:
• made a supersaturated solution for growing alum and copper sulphate crystals today, the copper had a really pretty deep blue color but I couldn't get the beauty on camera 😕
• Obsessed with Moon in one's cup's nostalgic feeling. That one rising arpeggios made me think of another song(golden hour) and my brain is still tingling very much
• milkyway
Day 25 Almost forgot to post. Thank god I can use slack on my iPad again, though the only downside is that I have no enter key… I redid room 3 today and that’ll be the last of the major coding(fr this time).

day 24:50days:
• so... when did I ever stop my streak for scrappy??
