The fact that you're all so happy to see me beating depression after this long has genuinely helped make my day. I can't express enough how appreciative I am of that with just one post.
Genuinely, I think I might just be the most impatient person this world has ever seen. If I really want something and I have to wait for it, I feel like I'm going to go crazy while I am waiting. It's very frustrating. The fact that grad school (and therefore teaching) can't start until August of next year just hurts me in my soul.
So apparently my mom, who I assumed would be super transphobic and not accepting of me whatsoever, is actually willing to try to respect me. I'm not sure if it's entirely performative and she's only doing it so I won't cut her out of my life, but it's still more than I was expecting from her.
What kind of corporate fussiness happened to make it so that we never got a promotion between Sonic Drive-In and Sonic the Hedgehog? They literally sell chili dogs at Sonic. It would be so perfect.
I've reached that horrible point in my college career where it feels like things are just stagnant. I've been in college long enough that it's not an exciting new experience anymore, but I'm far enough away from graduating that I can't be excited for that yet either. It's literally only week 2 of this semester and I'm already thinking "okay, let's get on with it so I can get my credits and move on."
It genuinely doesn't feel like the same day I went to my German class and had an appointment with my counselor. I was napping on and off for like four hours and it completely destroyed any sense of what time it is.
Imagine taking an anthropology class in the year of like, 2524. What would anthropologists of the future have to say about things like the internet and internet culture of our time?
It's that time of year again where they release a new schedule of classes and I overplan to all hell and back. At the very least, I think I can get myself on track to graduating in the spring of 2025, which should hopefully mean grad school is on the way.
