wild that i was so burnt out & honestly miserable doing engineering things in undergrad, to the point that i was escaping to the english & theatre departments on campus just to have something non-technical to focus on, & now i’m in grad school doing entertainment-adjacent engineering things which you think would still make me miserable bc it’s just engineering 4 inches to the left but it’s just enough of a shift that it’s not all technical bullshit, i’m surrounded by artsy shit & artsy people & also people that give a fuck about who i am & how i’m doing & it is just so refreshing to doing something that doesn’t make me want to erase myself from this plane of existence & manifest on a secluded goat farm to live out the rest of my days never having to think about a goddamn wormgear again

so yeah, grad school’s genuinely going great

i got this really sweet email from the professor for my technical graphics course this fall like 2 days ago talking about the setup for the class (in-person, with precautions put in place like plexiglass between computers in the lab & wiping down stations before & after use) & he asked for our thoughts on keeping class in-person vs potentially taking it online, along with asking our experience with autocad (the drafting program we’ll be using for the class). then he gave us his phone number & said that if we ever had any questions to reach out, email or text, & the whole vibe of the email was really sweet & gentle & genuine & i’m really excited about his class

my admissions advisor gave me a link to student challenges form so i am absolutely roasting the everloving fuck out of the res life office & flat out being like “i’ve never been so stressed in my entire life & it’s your guys’ fault”

one of my roommates is a music performance major with a focus on the flute & hearing him practice every day is making me hate the flute less & less
