A gentle rant about chemistry and expectations

I tried this in Warsaw with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where biology stopped feeling new.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. biology got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
