well i just haven't been around for a couple weeks now huh?

school and mental health have been really difficult; I've accomplished so little over the past two weeks and i can't help but feel like i can't possibly be trying hard enough :') I'm genuinely like.. a little concerned i might not be able to graduate this semester, which doesn't feel very good at all

BUT!! I have about 5 weeks to really try and get to where i need to be, so I guess that's my goal now, to lock down and crank out as much as possible and hope i can pull it together into something passable (i mean, id like to have something well-done that im proud of, but i think a C is a kinder and more realistic goal atm lol)

we got a ton of snow yesterday and it's been raining since, but we need the water and it was nice to see the snow after a very dry winter 🌨️☃️❄️

I’ve been translating parts of this anatomy text that I’m researching, and one of the authors in the preface to this specific edition is so petty about the author of a previous edition, it’s wonderful.

Some examples: “Lancisi’s growing age and his many affairs did not allow him to give us a complete interpretation of Eustachi’s anatomical illustrations; nor could he sometimes avoid writing as if he were hallucinating.”

“Lancisi himself noticed these fallacies after he published his edition of Eustachi’s illustrations in 1714, leading him to decide to create another—more expensive and befitting, and purged of that most execrable filth he had written. But, alas, prevented by his own death, he left the foul, infected thing uncleansed.”

“Alas, the Geneva edition of 1717 published Eustachi’s images with Lancisi’s monstruous and truncated commentary.”

And this great concluding sentence:

“In conclusion, it will be enough for me to have adapted such an excellent treasure so that it can be used by lovers of anatomy, with the hope that any who study it will have a safer, more detailed, and more accurate explanation than that of Lancisi.”

I'm about to finish a research and now there is a conflict between the team members about whose name should go up first. I hate it so much because all of us contributed equally. I just hate the thought of being the 'et al' even if we will be co-first authors.

Working in education is just paying a ton of money to get your degrees and then continuing to pay to be a part of professional organizations forever and ever until you die because you can't afford to retire because you chose to work in education
