More than halfway through 20.109 at
this point, I’ve gone from having Seamus Finnigan (the kid who keeps blowing
stuff up in Harry Potter) as my 20.109 spirit animal to having Beaker as my
spirit animal.
I feel like that’s an upgrade. Now,
the article. The bane of my existence for the last week or so. Writing,
editing, and going to office hours slowly became how I filled all my free time.
The best part was trying to explain to non-109-ers how/why I was spending so
much time writing this article. I think every other sentence I said this week
hard the word “my research article” in it.
After putting a million and a half
hours into the journal article, turning in the article was by far the most
therapeutic and rewarding part of my week. I was trying to get my friends to
read it and appreciate it in all its 14 page glory – which is kind of
embarrassing in retrospect. Either way, now that I’ve turned it in and it is no
longer running my life, the research article is kind of cool. I have this 14
page paper I wrote about experiments I did. I’m a real scientist!
