[ Kate's left leg and part of her butt are asleep, a tingling sensation from the way she's twisted in the uncomfortable chair she bought hastily in a Norman Goodwill for the bare apartment she's currently occupying. Her advisor had forwarded the fellowship application in the not-so-subtle way that graduate advisors forward things without instruction. Less a suggestion and more of a "do this" instruction in fewer words.
She had tried to work with the research plans she had written a few years back, opening them to find the writing of an enthusiastic young scientist with a type of enviable I'm going to change the world with knowledge attitude that makes her smile, but also demure a bit. She still feels that, but has pragmatic lens of a federal scientist who knows cutting the fat tells a punchier story and maybe one the GRFP reviewers will actually read instead of letting their eyes glaze over as they shuffle from proposal to proposal.
Writing, though, turns out to be as painful as ever, dry eyes blinking as she tries to keep herself awake and focused in the blue light of her laptop when a small buzz on her phone steals her attention, and Kate smiles at the interruption. ]
ancient aliens, of course. isn't that the type of educational content you strive to emulate on your channel??
[ Just because some things had changed between them didn't mean the gentle ribbing had to stop. ]
