Life upd8
4 years ago
Hey all, thought I would make an update, 'cause I believe it's been long overdue.
So, the reason I haven't been posting so much and been so quiet, is that I've been majorly busy with life stuff. I've finally got my master's degree just two months ago, where I was busy doing lab work for data and writing my thesis. I actually got the last tidbit of my data that was sequencing on the last week that I had to submit my thesis to my reviewer. Yeah, so that was fun xD The worst part was where I didn't know exactly to do with my sequencing data or how to interpret it as my supervisor wasn't exactly helpful... Well, less helpful and more like „ignoring and not replying to e-mails“ lmao. It was a mess, but I successfully defended my work with a high grade in the end :D
So with two degrees I was like „hey, maybe I should start looking for work“, so here I am. No longer a jobless student, but a junior quality control analyst working for one of the biggest companies in the world that provide a lot of products for life science related work. I've always imagined myself working in the industry and the majority of workers here do that, as there's a smaller percent of people working in research or other areas, but I'm rather glad I was able to get into QC? It seems to be way more fun having to do a big variety of tests with a lot of bioproducts, instead of following a routine every day; but sure, with that comes a big responsibility to make sure the client gets their product on time and not making mistakes is critical. Job really would be perfect if I didn't have to wake up at 5 every morning and get home at 18, because work is like 100 km away. But it really is a fantastic opportunity.
I just wish I could somehow incorporate art with my work? Obviously, I can't draw while I work, I barely find the time to do anything else, but I thought maybe I could get something like an iPad or something. I don't know how well that could work while driving though, the roads aren't exactly the best xD kind of bumpy. I've tried drawing after work, but I get like 3 hours of free time besides making food and when I get home, I'm too tired to do anything. Like I just wanna do nothing after a long, exhausting day. It bugs me a lot 'cause I have quite a few sketches done from a june prompt that I did with a friend, that I just have to colour and shade. Been taking me some extra time 'cause I'm switching from PhotoShop to Krita, so lots of experimental things going on xd So that's that. I technicallycould just post the sketches, but eh, I kind of want to finish them! Lots of Spyro related stuff:)
