We had some new addition to the family. To be exact, four of them.
Four little baby hamsters. They are from the same litter. Their owner is leaving the country so we adopted them all.

I am writing the part of thesis I hate the most at the moment, the literature review. I love to read papers and learn about them. I enjoy reflecting on them and putting down the idea I draw from the papers. What I don’t like it to try to keep track of everything after I read several papers. And then make sure all the idea is accurate as it was ( Read more... )
