Well my main problem is that earlier this summer my PI and I sat down to talk about what the chapters of my thesis would be, and I've still got so much to do for most of my chapters

Some of them admittedly are me waiting for collaborators tho

But it's not pleasurable if I can't taste it past the burn :(

Tell me why every time I make caramel I have an uncontrollable urge to taste it as if it isn't literally molten sugar that will immediately burn my tongue
