It's been a while, and I am yet again swamped with deadlines. The pictures were taken on various days during this month, and the artwork was my silent resistance during the ai ghibli trend. Please don't use generative ai :)

It feels like it's been forever but I've only been here one week. I guess it's true, what they say about time seeming to slow down when you're in an unfamiliar environment, or learning new things.

I've made so many new friends at college and it already feels like we've known each other for months. It feels great to be back in a tight community of people and to be back in the classroom again.

Oh how good it is to feel those first hints of fall in the air and to have an assignment to work on again! Everything's changing so fast, but I finally feel ready for it to happen.

It's been a summer of therapy, self reflection and building healthier perspectives on my relationships and emotions. It's a helpful thing to do and an apt time to do it, but I'm glad to get back into the swing of something more familiar.

Currently seven days away from college move-in.

I am RAVING about how good the pacing of The Secret History is.

In any good book, you've got descriptive imagery and all, but Donna Tartt manages to use the pacing of the scenes themselves to put you in the moment.

It's brilliant!

I woke up to thunder this morning. Once it started raining, there were only a few big drops, but it still brought that wet-cement smell of late summer.

How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming by Mike Brown

Brown is the person who discovered the object past Pluto that meant Pluto was re-categorized into a dwarf planet. I learned about this book from Alan Alda's podcast Clear + Vivid! Alda interviewed Brown about his discovery and the reactions people had to it. It was such an interesting talk I decided to give the book a go! This is part memoir, part science book. Brown has big wifeguy, loves his kid energy and he cannot resist talking about them and I appreciate that about him. It was good! Around halfway, I started wondering when he'd get to the actual bigger than Pluto object he found. He begins with his first discovery, and a long time passes before the discovery that reclassified Pluto. The build-up makes sense. I just don't like waiting. But it helped tell a more complete story, explaining his reasoning and how he got there. I was never attached to Pluto the way others were and still are, so I hold no ill will toward Brown. I like that new information leads to new discoveries and changing the way we understand our world. That's how it should work! And the way he explained it, the process involved, the work Brown and others put into their discoveries -- it made sense. Pluto is no longer considered a planet. It is what it has always been. It is only our perception that has changed.
