not a lot of time has happened since the last time i wrote here, but it's been a pretty cool time. i got silver award from my first ever article, but i still don't know if i'm going to get published or not. i think that would be soooo worth it dude. sooo on monday i have to send my CV ("or an activities list", but i already built a CV in the summer so i'll use it). i'm slightly embarrassed of it now, but i hope they just don't destroy me for it. i think i've learned a pretty big lesson–i created a common app account and started checking requirements and formatting, and i think that'll be pretty useful for when i have to describe my activities or go deeper into some of them. i need a crucial EC and maaaayyyyybeeeeee RB will help me with that. will you let me continue your legacy [REDACTED]? we'll see... anyways i also got into Summer@JHU for a neuroscience / psych course w/ $950 fellowship! i'm soooo happy for that, it feels like one of my first tangible results. teehee anyways i have to keep CODING i'm trying to get better at javascript and sadly i think i'll need to tackle the basics first AGAINNNN yeah. anyways i think this year i'll get to OII!!! i really hope i do i practiced and improved quite a lot c:

again a huuuuge amount of time has happened. it's not bad but i do think i should try to update this more frequently... a lot of things have happened! i'm a junior researcher (that's the name we're using for now) on QH and today was my first session. i asked the presenter a question and i did feel a bit awkward, but i don't think it was bad at all. i felt really excited because i read the required material about two days before? in one sitting, at night. i stayed up!!! it felt soooo nice to do so. idk i'm just super happy JAJAJAJAJAJ OH RIGHT remember i said "i dont think im heading for ge1" CORDI DID NOT THINK LIKE THAT i got promoted to ge1! thats hugeee idk i think ill feel like an outsider :,v there wont be any girls either... gotta integrate to more woman-led, girl-focused initiatives i guess c: teehee

merry xmas! ok so apart from that im Locking In and here goes my Plan: so first of all my major is CS + smth social. double major! i like theory. i like Papers. the main reason i want to study in the US is Research. this is connected to my father, who is a researcher. he's from another area though - an area i've explored and would like to reconnect with later. HOW do i demonstrate i want to do research? through publishing! little journals (see Via Scientia's contest, i will be guided GOD BLESS) or big journals (i'll try to apply to BeyondQuantum, there's like ten days left... I Can Do This). also Please QH lemme help you with ur research... i Loved the presentation they gave of their two papers last Saturday. it was so cool... i would've loved to help collect all that info, especially for the cualitative paper! i hope i can get to contribute next year! ok so that's research. i could also keep up a page? btw creating one from scratch would take A Lot of time, but i can create a notion page and Then create a github repo and work with the two? like Yea. so that's for research!
now i also want to show them i like competitive programming! i Will participate in M(IT)^2, CALICO, the mass competition, USACO(!!!11!1!! i think this would be my biggest boost, at least silver plsplspls i Can Do This) and also OPI!!! I only need 100 plsplspls, getting to the OII would do WONDERS!!! 2027 medal pls. btw when i say pls its to myself... God can help me with motivation i think, but it relies on me to get all these accolades... big discipline incoming? ok so. thats basically it i think... also kwk + gwc WE GETTING SERIOUS WITH GWC doing machine learning is a must... ok so its that. Yeah. everything research COMES IN i like reading and writing academically c:
dude this is so cute i hope i really get to do all this PLS [REDACTED] DONT BE A FOOL AND COMMIT!!! i really, really want to come back to this plan and tell myself i made it. i promised this to myself and i made it.

so im just kind of thinking about how to elevate this page. i know i don't want to show this to my friends so i can be Free. maybe i can create some kind of shrine??? idk who or what to make it about. i mean i already have like the music page? my fav songs, i still have to link them so yeah. theres soooo much work to do but i still think this is a valid thing to lose time to, cause im actually doing something for my page. idkkk theres not a lot of stuff happening in my life rn. actually im kidding LOL so i just finished my quantum course!!! kinda sad tho i feel like ill feel such a Gap in my life... i liked studying for it in class. like yea. but ill get some extra free time i can invest in learning dsa cause i Have to get in like i HAVEEE to get in. i cant sing the please please please let me get what i want song cause my life has never been like super bad, and it wouldnt be the first time i got what i wanted. idk i just dont want to feel like a victim anymore. its annoying and overall just so unfitting... yea well so i gotta Work. but first ill try some stuff with this page... i like how the blog looks, but i do have to add some more stuff to other pages and yea. i think im going to do that now
