Multitasking?
Of course I can multitask!
Look at me, waiting for my #rstats code to run and looking for new jobs, because my contract will end in 6 months and there hasn't been a clear commitment to prolong it, and drinking tea all at once!

1 & 2) Learned a bit about African #Ubuntu philosophy this week, in addition to protocols for performing qualitative interviews with kūpuna (elders) in Hawaiʻi as part of my Indigenous research methods class.

3) Made it through the weekend, and turned my homework in on time.

After almost 2 years of back and forth.. technical (website) issues, lack of proper editorial oversight 😬 and 3 rounds of peer review... My first paper has finally been accepted for publication! 🎉

I can now breathe.

There will be wine tonight.

Back from errands. Survived the cold morning on scoot - now for moar coffee and thesis wrangling #PhDLife
I hate working with track changes in word. My supervisor keeps doing it. I have asked him mulitple times not to. My document keeps going into corrupt mode and I have accept changes before I can review everything. I can’t wait until this is over #PhDLife
Started the day stressed out, and frantically planning how to give my kid a nice and active summer day, unpacking, and somehow getting work done at once. The RELIEF around 10 am when I realised today isn’t Monday. #PhDLife
