Idk why I thought November had 31 days. Anyways, I forgot October so instead of being a perfectionist, I decided to just merge them together because in all honesty October was not a great month..unwanted visitors in the form of wasps being the main problem!😭 icl the regretting doing a PhD phase really does sneak up on you in 2nd year...but ups and downs are normal so I try to think of all the wonderful opportunities I've been exposed to and skills I've learnt because of this degree.

☕ Got accepted into an internship that I applied to in September. I actually can't believe it. Not even sure what else I can say about it right now but I'm so beyond thrilled. And also proud, if you knew the bs that was going on behind the scenes (wasps included, and will talk about everything else one day) you know that this was a real uphill battle haha

☕ TARGET CDT had their second training week. I really enjoyed it as I got to meet the second cohort students as well as continuing to learn more about the mining industry. It was a jam packed and mentally stimulating week, excited for the next one.

☕ I found a new hobby and community through a trading card game called Riftbound. So far I'm really enjoying the game. It came out the end of October so it's been nice to be with a game from the beginning as opposed to catching up with players that have been playing the same card game for years or decades. Despite losing most of the time, it's a nice break from PhD stuff and just general life stress.

Crazy to think December is tomorrow
