Reading through my second full draft of my thesis. And you know what? Sometimes, sometimes I can be really smart.

I also won $500 presenting my research yesterday, which was great. Promptly had to spent $200 of it on petrol and two (2) make up products, which was not so great.

I feel like I should also give my bum some more encouraging words every now and then. I think she’d appreciate it

Thank you! I’m so close to obnoxiously making everyone I know call me Doctor, I can taste it

Well done! Also, make up, you're worth it!

I am worth it. But also the feminist in me is furious that I am expected to wear makeup to be accepted as ‘professional’ and if that’s the case, why the fuck is it not tax deductible??? Makeup is expensive.

The stuff which lasts all day sure is. I'll never understand why it's supposed to part of a professional look either.
