Survived first year of grad school
At a few points this semester I thought I might fail out. But with a lot of work and stress, I advocated for myself and got an extension on my school work so I could essentially turn in all work over the summer that was unfinished.
Took a week roadtrip with friends back to California for the summer. That was fun. The bad news is my depression still follows me around, even to mountaintops and happy days. Had a mini break down watching the sunset at the Grand Canyon. Not fun times. But the grand canyon was cool. And road-tripping.
Glad to be done with school for the summer and back home where I can sleep in til noon and putter around the house.
Down side is my parents did not take my coming out about my pronouns well last winter break and therefore misgender me all the time. :(
The good news is I have a neat internship at a non-profit that should be low key and I can make my own deadlines.
My mid-semester break down made me realize I need to re-think my life plan. Traditional journalism may not be the best fit for me because #deadlines. But there are other options out there. I just gotta find and create them.
