Sorry again for the long silence.
I've been... depressed and afraid, if I'm honest! I have twelve years of experience in tech, but the job market is a garbage fire, so I've been out of work for coming up on a full year. I ran out of unemployment and made the hard decision to go back to school and finish my Bachelor's.
And this first semester, where I was too late to apply for any financial aid and I can't really apply for scholarships because I don't have any transcripts to show for myself — it's especially scary. I am just in this awful financial free fall, and it's taking a real toll on me. Depression Brain is definitely taking all my energy right now.
I love translating, but I am in that phase of depression where even things you love are just. So hard to do.
I will be back, I promise. But now you know what's happening. Perhaps more honestly than any of you wanted to!
