The summer is ending. I wrapped my summer internship. Moving to a new place in September. The fall classes start in two weeks. I am starting my new role as lab manager. Thesis ideas need to consolidate and I want to identify a faculty advisor.

My attention is now focused on cultivating new habits and maintaining the good ones with the coming changes. I want to:

• start my days at 5 a.m.
• get my hour of reading
• get my hour of exercise at 7am
• get to the lab at 8 am

I am excited about the reopening of Fisher Fine Arts Library. It makes me very happy to spend time here, especially being immersed in a good book with the warm sun coming through the thermal windows.

Today I learned that too much caffeine makes my body “jumpy”.
