Since I found out my grad program DOESN’T start today (they misprinted an updatedstart date — it actually begins the 25th), I unexpectedly have a little more time to enjoy myself before dipping into the full grad-grind!
I have been spending some of my leisure time tending to numerous plants, including my new (and growing) propagation station, as featured above! Currently, I’m trying to establish 3 buddies. From left to right are mint (already planted), ??? (Truly, I’ve no idea what the buddy living in the syrup bottle is), Zamioculcas zamiifolia (“ZZ”), and… a green onion!
Delightfully, the green onion is already growing new roots. The ZZ I’m less sure of. In general, I don’t know how well ZZs take to water propagation, but so far it’s leaves are still supple. As for the ??? plant, it has been hanging in water for weeks without rooting! Even so, it also remains pretty supple. So I guess we’ll just see how it goes, huh?
Unfortunately, most of the extra time will be devoted to the work-grind instead. The following are on this week’s menu of To-Dos:
- Finalize and publish the Spring tutoring schedule
- Co-write the conclusion/analysis for a small research paper (So excited!!)
- Finish developing “Welcome Back!” assignments
As much as I’m enjoying a break, COVID has me stir-crazy and I’m really looking forward to getting started on the next steps of my future career! As such, I cannot wait until I can get started with my program. By then, I should have more relevant and interesting content to share.
Goals for January 6th
- Cope, because sometimes we do just need to focus inwards before we can focus outwards
That’s it. There are not any other goals for today, and that’s perfectly okay.
Goodmorning!
