#thankfully: the students

[terresdebrume]

Had a fun experience at work yesterday x)

Me: so [New student] are you taking French or Chinese?

Ns: I wanted French but my mom wrote Chinese so Chinese I guess

New Chinese teacher: *comes in and explains that beginners will have a mandatory 2hrs /week class and will spend the normal 4hrs doing homework*

NS, immediately after CT leaves: Can I still change to French?

Turns out living just a few miles from an active 10,000 acre wildfire has health consequences

Working on my project proposal presentation, for my probation review on Wednesday! It's actually quite satisfying summarising all the work I've done this year, and exciting writing about my PhD plan to come!

It is such a good feeling I've got that I'm doing the right PhD. Suddenly I don't want to stop reading about it. 😊🌥️

43/100 days of productivity

Currently unpacking all my shit into my new flat. And it's never more apparent that I have both, a shopping and hoarding problem, until I have to once again move and confront my problems

[what-are-even-humans]

Hey so im moving out of my flat tomorrow and due to my university* being Awful at Admin and me having to spend a lot of time and energy fixing shit, I have to pack down essentially my entire flat in one night. Anyone got any tips for how you pack quickly?

*technically former. I graduated and will only ever return for a) a brief stint as an advisor in a subject I aided in developing and b) the residency meet-up in like 9 months

jon is becoming more and more crazy, there were at least two or three entities mentioned in a single episode, everything and everyone gets name-dropped

You know its bad on college campuses when my grandmother, who remembers her mother sewing the star on her clothes and her father flushing money down the toilet so the Nazis would not get it when they fled, is asking me if I am safe at school.

The hijabi in my class talked to me today and asked me to join her group for the project in that class

Women flock to me 😌

I'm taking a Mass Media course this semester, and I was browsing our intro discussion. We have to note our media habits and what we interact with, and I'm sustaining mental damage from the way some of these students are talking about how they get all of their information from TikTok.

Someone collapsed on the sidewalk today as I was walking from the ER.

Since there were no medical peeps outside at the time, I ran toward them and about 5 bystanders that had gathered there all started staring at me, as if waiting to see what I’ll do.

I was quite puzzled for a bit, until I managed to realize I’m wearing all white (including my white coat and badge)- they think I’m a doctor and this is a “Someone get a doctor!” kind of situation.

It's a bit like thinking to yourself "hmm, I should get a grown up for this," and realizing you are the closest thing to a grown up in the immediate proximity.

it's always good to have a break. i don't know how non-music college compares, but music school is A Lot Of Work, constantly practicing, rehearsing, playing. lots of homework. there's also the mental and emotional aspect; being an artist you need to separate your art from your sense of self and self worth, and it's pretty difficult sometimes. not to mention, it is a competitive field, so there's always wondering about how you measure up to others, auditioning, if you'll even get the job or into the festival or whatever.

the past two semesters have been rough for me, even though i had a great summer in between, it was a lot of change (not just bc of first/second year of school) in a short amount of time and a lot of that change was bc i wanted it and it was on my shoulders to work to practice to prove i can do it. and i did! i can! i still have a long way to go, but i can do it. i often think or worry i don't deserve to be here, but it's reassuring to know that 1) lots of other people, even people i look up, feel that way too and 2) i AM here, so enough people who know what they're doing think i can do it, and who am i to argue?

however, to my original point, it is good to have a break. i love music, and i would not be doing this if i didn't. but i think i really burned myself out this semester, and as soon as i was on break, i stopped practicing at all for like a week and a half, and then after that i practiced only a bit at the end of the day just to play my instrument.

what i've been doing instead is sleeping in a lot, watching a lot of tv and reading lots of comics, and also just Reading and listening to music. i've also been drawing a lot.

it's good to take a break. i am a musician, and always will be, but i am also a person who likes to sleep and eat and who is obsessed with superman and likes hanging out with my friends.
