Last time I got up early was last week on Tuesday. I had a meeting with my particle physics mentor regarding my research. We scheduled it on 10 am, which is not exactly early, but she assigned me some tasks to do and I needed some time to complete them. I decided to wake up at 4 a.m. so I would have six hours to make several types of plots. Making plots is one of the biggest parts of my research project in particle physics. The thing is I need to put different collision systems like gold-gold which is a very big large collision system, smaller ones, a deuteron gold and proton proton collisions and actually people did it before me and the thing I’m bringing in science is by comparing this plus and trying to fill the gap that they form by plotting another medium-sized systems copper-copper. So I had my gold gold and smaller collision systems already plotted but I needed to find copper-copper data, run it through my previously written codes in order to extract data where I needed and then writes a code that will process with other collision systems. I felt very overwhelmed because it is actually very hard to do and takes a lot of time to find everything and code it. I made a lot of mistakes that I needed to fix as soon as possible. And since I didn’t really sleep well beforehand, I felt very exhausted and thought that I wouldn’t do this again, ever. Thank you.

The thing is I need to put different collision systems like gold-gold which is a very large collision system, smaller ones, deuteron gold and proton proton collisions. Actually people did it before me and the thing I'm bringing to science is by comparing these plots and trying to fill the gap that they form by plotting another medium-sized system, copper-copper. So I had my gold-gold and smaller collision systems already plotted but I needed to find copper-copper data, run it through my previously written codes in order to extract data where I needed and then write a code that will process with other collision systems. I felt very overwhelmed because it is actually very hard to do and takes a lot of time to find everything and code it. I made a lot of mistakes that I needed to fix as soon as possible.
