Iiiii'm back from the east coast! it was super pretty; I wish dw was better at image posts so I could share them better, but my phone isn't connecting to my computer in any case so that'll take some finagling before I can actually take anything off of it lol aag. but trust me it was a good time :)
Next week, I'm starting my summer class; I'm taking one in summer session so I'm not doing 4 undergrad and 1 grad and working and commuting again. I learned that lesson last semester! By then I also hope I hear back from the hiring committee, and I'm anxious but hopeful. Also, without the summer course, if I had to do 5 courses, commute, and (if I get the promotion) be director in our bubble, that would be certifiably beyond my comfort zone! let's keep it healthy lol
but this past few weeks has been a really exciting time, socially speaking. Actually seeing east coast buddy is super special; we chat all the time but there's that pesky continent in the way. And this year I've seen them twice! I'm so lucky!! And hanging out with the squad back home, who I've known for over a decade or literally since before we were 1yo, depending on who's counting - good friends are really such a blessing. One member is finally moving away for good, soon, though. I'm going to have to process that; I'm really going to miss her.
But now, before that happens, since the 4th, I've participated in making three pies, cooking two dinners, and one ceremonial burning. I like to bake, I like to cook, I'm capable of destroying my old paperwork all on my own. But it's really, truly, the other people that make it special. I have so much love for my friends, and I'm not particularly good at saying things like that in so many words, but I hope they know it's true in any case.
and now for something completely different, because I don't feel like making two posts in one night, but, switching topics, time for more musing on being mixed and some tmi on account of the han alcohol->acetaldehyde reaction:
