it's okay not to be productive some weeks.
i feel like i got so little done this week. i had to ask for an extension on my physics work and my essay in english. i barely managed to finish the work i needed this week. but that's okay. sometimes its good to have mental breaks.
a good advice i was given was to separate the work from relaxation.
when you are studying, you are studying. less distractions when you are working, and good mental breaks (like going outside or grabbing a snack). but when you are relaxing, you are relaxing. don't let the guilt of not getting stuff done eat at you.
put it in your schedule to relax or something, but sometimes you need breaks. sometimes its difficult for me to get up and do work, and i feel horrible for not being able to do that. but at the same time, its a sign that my mind and my body needs the rest.
go to sleep <3
GUESS WHO'S BACK!!
Not me.
I've finished writing my dissertation (no beta we die. we just die) but I still have my whole ass presentation to prepare.

NGC 2403 taken by John C. Yu on January 30 2024
NGC 2403 is a intermediate spiral galaxy. There are typically two types of spiral galaxies: barred and regular spirals. This galaxy falls between the two, denoted as SAB.
The bar in spiral galaxies forms due to gravitational instability. However, this bar can help with star formation as it funnels material to the center of the galaxy.
Interactions with neighboring galaxies or having greater instability can lead to a greater bar shape in the galaxy. However, dark matter halos also play a big role in having the opposite effect, often preventing the bar from forming. These combined factors lead to the median shape of this galaxy.
Intermediate spiral galaxies can eventually evolve into either regular spiral galaxies or barred spiral galaxies, but we won't be there to see the final form of NGC 2403.
