Coding makes my brain happy.

I've been working on some analyses for my research project the past few days, and have more-or-less been teaching myself R.

It's frustrating and confusing and sometimes often makes me want to punch my computer, but the process of thinking analytically and stretching my brain is so, so gratifying.

It leaves my brain stretched in the best way possible.

this is my brain doing yoga.
in other words, i'm a nerd.
