So I decided to combine Spring and Summer because they had one thing in common other than being stressful. The super long days!
BIOEN 316: This Assignment will only take two hours
This class and BioE core in general were quite intense but what really stood out about this class was how wrong we were with estimating the amount of time homework would take us. I and my study group would look at the assignment and be like this will only take 3-4 hours but boy we were so wrong. This happened until the second assignment after which we just gave up on estimating how long homework would take us.
Another thing that was also really interesting about this class was that most things we did in class only made sense a day before the midterms during the office hours. I did try preparing a little more in advance but without the office hours, I simply couldn't do it. On that note, shoutout to my TAs who answered every question (some really dumb ones) and helped me through this course.

ISCRM Summer Fellowship
I joined a new research lab towards the end of winter quarter that works with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). I applied for a fellowship to support my research over the summer and got it! This was my first award for research and I am really excited to see how things turn out!
On the day I got the email, I was out on vacation with my family in Europe. Funnily enough we were having dinner right around that time and I was talking about how it has been so long and I have not heard back about the fellowship
