DOOM. For I am blind to my most important need and ran out of coffee on this fine morning ...

...guess after such a long time I shall treat myself to a cuppa outside, at the laundromat. And then promptly pick up supplies on the way back.

Because of the sunny days I've been able to resume my prematurely terminated data collection for uni - definitely finishing today and then tomorrow I head back to some of the initial sampling sites out west to see how the readings might've changed from the same time of day between early March to now.

I'm so glad I'll be seeing a friend for dinner tonight. I would hate having to spend the entire weekend on uni.

E: I have finally finished PHM. Face may have leaked a bit near the end when somebody went back to find somebody else. Fist my bump! ๐Ÿ˜ญ I found out they're doing a movie adaptation, I won't get my hopes too high as to how they'll pull it all off but I have to watch it just to see how they depict Rocky!

Woohoo ๐Ÿ™Œ let us know how you go ๐Ÿ˜

I'd say Project Hail Mary is not super duper hard core, at it's heart it's about friendship (with a whole lot of genuine love for discovery and problem solving). It's a fun read. I think you might enjoy it
