Blogpost: Looking Back on 2024

very long and rambling post under the cut. feel free to skip, or read on at your leisure!

folks! it's december!

how did the time pass so quickly? this year has just vanished. and yet, january feels like forever ago. weird how that happens.

tbh 2024 has probably been one of the best years of my life like. in general. my winter semester of my first year, followed by my summer job at a historic site in my hometown, followed by the fall semester (which just ended) have made for three genuinely fun thirds of the year.

through the winter/spring I had some truly phenomenal classes, saw the eclipse at 99% totality, and got to see one of my favourite bands (idkhow) live in concert - from the second row!

after school ended I went back home and started my job, and also got on antidepressants (which, goddamn, make a huge difference. the first few weeks were insane, everything felt colourful and beautiful). spending four months working in tourism and learning about history was genuinely so much fun, I got to meet people from all around the world and work with some genuinely amazing human beings (and non-humans, shoutout to the barn cats) every day. I'm looking forward to going back at the end of the month and seeing everyone again!

I also had a few fun trips this summer - I went camping, and visited the states for a weekend. saw some really neat things at both locations.

this is probably one of my favourite photos I took this summer, from out the front of the canoe. we paddled like six hours that day and while the portages were buggy and awful, being on the water was gorgeous.

at the end of august I came back down south, and promptly cut and dyed my hair. I was teal again after nearly a year of it being dark! huzzah! I'd been looking forward to getting it dyed but tbh it doesn't feel as much me as it used to. I'll be dyeing it dark again soon.

my fall classes were, for the most part, superb. by far my favourite was a music and politics class taught by my favourite professor, who I'd had for two classes last year. this was the first time I'd had seminars led by him, though, and they were as great as I could've imagined. I took to following him upstairs to his office afterwards, typically along with one or two other students, where we'd chat normally for about half an hour until he had to leave. through most of the semester there was a bit of a saga ongoing - seeking, finding, replacing, and eventually discarding, a copy of Paul Simon's Graceland on vinyl. for some reason two different copies both refused to play on my record player, despite working fine on other people's. the saga ended with the second copy being given to another student in the class, and my prof instead giving me a copy of one of his favourite jazz albums, which I have listened to a number of times and absolutely adore.

I was really disappointed that he's not teaching any courses next term, but I've talked with him a bit and he's agreed to take me on as a kind of research assistant, to help me build a syllabus for this class idea I've had brewing. I'm absolutely thrilled by this, of course, and am infinitely grateful for the opportunity to continue learning from him.

my other classes were a bit more of a mixed bag. I was in a brand new class with five other students, and it was awesome, I loved the prof for that one as well. he really broke down the stuff we were discussing (heavy cultural theory) in understandable ways and was super approachable. he told us a lot of stories, gave us a lot of advice, and made what had the potential to be a super dry class, really really fun and absolutely worth taking. my friend in that class and I both got convinced by him to take advanced masters when we're in our fourth year lol, we'll see how that goes.

my other three classes were really where the semester fell flat. I wish I could've been as engaged and into them as those first two classes, but ig they can't all be winners. these ones were largely just average.

I'm also officially on testosterone! as of November 21rst! big yay. I can't wait for my voice to drop, it'll make my dysphoria lessen so so much.

now that we're into exam season and classes are over, I've really been in grind-mode, pumping out often over 1k words a day on days that I'm writing. being blessed with the ability to lock in is truly an honour.

the next week and a half is going to be rough - I've got to write around 5k words in that span of time to get all my assignments done before their deadlines, plus I've got an in-person exam (which I disagree with as a matter of principle, but that's another ramble post for another day) so I'll be pretty busy.

overall though, I'm very glad to be where I am right now. it has its ups and downs but it's a good life. unbelievable what a difference a year can make to one's mental health. despite everything going on globally rn, for the first time in my life I feel I can picture my future. I have goals and aspirations. it's incredible.

if you've made it this far,

damn! you didn't have to read all that! this is just me rambling about my year! thanks for sticking around though.

if you're interested, please feel free to leave a note for me on my Christmas tree - I'll be able to read all the notes on Christmas day. I've only got a few so far and I'd love to see my tree get covered in ornaments!

and now: this year's favs!

albums:

tracy chapman - self titled

idkhow - gloom division

paul simon - graceland

stan rogers - from fresh water

jukebox the ghost - cheers

will wood - the new normal (normal album 2024 edit)

olenka and the autumn lovers - self titled

bug hunter - the rough draft

books:

tbh I didn't read a whole lot of books this year, just stuff for classes and work! it's a short list of favs.

Many Tender Ties - Sylvia Van Kirk

Waiting for Godot - Samuel Beckett

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (I think the only book I read entirely for pleasure this whole year lol)

podcasts:

sherlock and co

the magnus protocol

sleepy

hello from the hallowoods

stellar firma

pseudopod

malevolent

tv/film:

buffy the vampire slayer

house md

criminal minds

gentleman jack

good omens (yes, still)

jane eyre (miniseries)

pride and prejudice (1996 miniseries)

if you've got a little free time over your December and you're interested in checking any of these out, please DM me with your thoughts! I'd love to converse.

all in all it's been a pretty dope year, I think. no year is without its faults, of course, I've lost friends, injured myself just. so many times (shoutout to the historic bakery at my job, the witness to all my cuts, scrapes, burns, bashes, and splinters). and have lost a lot of sleep doing things that really could've waited until the next morning. but all in all I'm a pretty happy camper and am looking forward to what 2025 has in store!

here's to the last month of 2024, may we come out the other end as unscathed as we were going in 🥂
