Must I contribute to society is it not enough to have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge?

#i genuinely love the structure provided by school why can't I just do that forever #its only sophomore year but like. 😬#there are like so many things I want to do #which i guess is the beauty of the music industry #but its also got scary levels of instability #and idk sometimes im not sure if ive got that beginning first push in me #anyway ive thought but not done much research on potentially doing grad school #and becoming a professor #being paid to infodump sounds awesome and i love theory #and my advisor is really cool #but paying for it 😬😬😬😬#but like i could also work in sound while doing that #and compose scores #but mostly i want to learn theory #its so fascinating to me like music functions as both a math and a language system #but also i think a good way to practice scoring would be to re-score existing films #but also to analyze the original scores #analysis is so fun i want to know to create each emotion #hence continuing school

There is a woodpecker hammering at the side of the house and it's a bold take for 10:30 am, bird.

#my brain is so Off its soaked in goop.#I also really fucking need to stop waking up at 1am and staying awake until 5. my friend joked I have such a dedication to the bronze age #I became biphasic and I'm worried its true lol. At least I got some reading done last night though.#Did you know they hunted elephants in Babylonia? That was cool to learn. Also that there was a family of scribes in southern Mesopotamia #who were dedicated to preserving and maintaining Akkadian/Sumerian culture that they were still inscribing tablets into the #100BC and that <333 I want to write about them. That really stuck with me.#Instead I have to do the same colloquial thing with my actual real live thesis lit review. 0/10. Scared.#High-key I also need to do rp responses and belarus is poking me to respond to dms. About 2 seconds from dropping my guy #I also have the liztlie au revolving more.. Maybe if I take two weeks after the end of classes I could switch off my brain and try to finis #I'm so close! But if I get selected to go to Turkey I'm going to have to defend and submit by mid-July.#And this is all on top of NOT HAVING ANY FUCKING DATA FOR THE COLUMN.#which is not MY fault its the development of a method and I need to... idk man. Idk. figure something out myself probably even tho #it's the other team's problem. Or switch my thesis around which is probably best even if my advisor is not in on it because #Why Would My Advisor Be Here? You Thought My Advisor Would Be Here? You Are Sadly Mistaken.#Highkey there needs to be a support group for people who's advisors are out. I'm grateful she trusts me to keep my head #above water for a month as I'm writing this fucking thing but also I feel abandoned and in distress.

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it

#ria.txt #i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????'#but then it was like. yeah. i see #love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations #also. izutsumi #what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes #the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected #hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille #not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop #it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes #haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face]#those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that #the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious #marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone-#-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH.#i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag #the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact #very solid and well rounded series wooo #the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together #anyways. dunmeshi au.....#more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison #ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters #which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste #false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her #martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy #stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty #the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone #i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her??#and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

There is something in me that is deeply wired to respond most positively to people 15+ years older than me. If I find out someone has even five or six years on me I instantly think they are cooler than if they are close in age to me. I think in my case it's probably linked with various neuroses and complexes but it makes it quite funny when there's some kind of "woe, 30-year-olds, The Youth won't think you're cool soon!!" Well that's none of my business because I'm very busy trying to think of ways to meet local senior citizens who will tell me their past reminiscences, without leaving the house and getting a migraine.

#book's life #my last remaining grandparent died two days ago. maybe relevant right now #i was never close to her which is maybe part of the issue #i don't miss her so much as i'm sad i never GOT to miss her #i didn't really have close relationships with any grandparent #even though my other grandma lived with us for a while #and i never had any teachers or mentors that i felt able to claim any sort of personal friendliness with #even my phd advisor was massively overcommitted and had many other advisees who knew him much better #so i think i just feel a generalized yearning for the company of people in those age groups #i also like history though #and to me people's oral histories feel extremely valuable #so there's some aspect of - it's just interesting and cool to me when people remember stuff i was not born for

Also wow crazy how having a class in which I am finally being forced to sit down and figure out my research is making me 200% more normal and wanting to do said research

#academia is no longer a war that i am losing at!! it is in fact a cool block of knowledge which i'm sort of vibing in a corner of #i'm sure it will at some point feel like a war i'm losing at again but did you know that defining what you're studying #and also what you're NOT studying is really liberating actually #it is fun to find out that everyone who has been telling me what i should be looking at for the last year and a half was right #but i'm just happy that i am finally managing to figure out what i am actually doing with this project #(also my advisor gave really useful comments on a paper i wrote last semester so that's probably also part of it)#anyways YAY in this house we love and support and owe our lives to grantwriting class for making us get our stuff together #perce rambles

sara sn0w is a Weird Girl TM (affectionate) in my head btw

#like im kinda picturing a spinel vibe here #we know absolutely zilch about her as individual character just her relationships to men (both canon and alleged)#i dont ship her w jace personally but i like to think she exists. she couldve been a cool addition to the cast!#altho if h0td ever chose to adapt her shed probably turn out to be nothing like the version in my head #anyway that's my canon oc now. she's impish; great with a slingshot; and has a near permanent :3 face #her and baela would get along like a house on fire #(jace's first thought upon meeting her actually)#since cregan is so dour and serious the northerners appreciate sara's jester-like wit and antics even if she's off-putting sometimes #like sansa she adores singers #prefers the jaunty tunes overall and is a talented lyricist #and shes extremely smart and resourceful. comes up with unconventional ways to solve problems that end up working really well #cregan's chief advisor actually unironically #has a penchant for mischief but cmon shes a funny lil gal. it's her birthday.#loves creatures. has brought wild animals into the castle before and will do it again #and overall just. idk fast-paced? talks fast moves very quickly it's like she's operating on 1.5x speed

god im tired

#had class at two then back to back exams #and was braindead and crying by the time i got back at like 7:15 so just played video games for a few hours #and now i need to start studying for diffeq on friday #god i cant wait till saturday #would say friday afternoon but of fucking course i have three different fucking assignments due friday 11:59 #what fucker thought “yeah we'll just put strengths of materials and physics back to back then diffeq two days after”#and ofc it's “mEntAl hEalTh wEeK” at my school #so im just sitting here crying for the tenth time today over physics/strengths/diffeq #and the advisors are spamming “come to this three hour webinar about burnout”#like...really #fuck everything why the hell did i ever think i was smart enough for engineering #my senior self was like “ooh this is cool” about circuits and lil robots and power tools #and now im sobbing over free body diagrams #am entirely convinced electric fields are black magic bc none of that shit makes any sense #im just so tired like i spent hours studying for these exams #did 2-3 backexams for each got little sleep since sunday #and i fucked both of them up massively #course my professor was like “if you can do these you can do the exam”#and i did those problems easily the night before and was like okay! let's work on physics!#and then the exam hit me like a fucking freight train #i can't even do the basic shit like stay fully awake for all my classes #bc of course they only offer three of the engineering courses back to back to back starting at 8:30 in the fucking morning #and im fine in thermo but just start completely crashing during strengths and am just half dead in diffeq #accidentally put my head down during a five minute break once and woke up twenty minutes later 😭#i am not a morning person #starting at 10am is fine but 8:30am?#adrenaline gets me through the first hour but then im just dead

okay rlly gotta get my shit together here because it's literally just under a month before i go to france and i want to send three sections to my advisor before that PLUS submit my article to a journal

understand that while i think im behind, i'm technically at 2x the pages i wanted to have by this date. still. crisis time.

by sunday:

finish nimes draft

by august 31

submit article

send at least one of: sens or cahors (cahors is probably best bc shorter)

by september 17

MEET WITH ADVISOR THIS IS NONNEGOTIABLE

have sent advisor sens, cahors, and nimes

have at least started chapter conclusion

have at least started rewriting chapter intro

start frankensteining chapter sections into something coherent or at least have a reasonable idea of what a full document might look like

have a better site list put together and possibly have contact w the SHPF, BNF, and/or Louvre

by september 19

email J

give contact info for fellowship 1 (incl address)

give group pertaining to fellowship 2 my address + phone

things it would be cool to do but not strictly necessary:

go back through P's revisions on vassy

have a better idea of own style guide re names etc

read Foa

get further in LT reread

read more Martyrs - also talk to P about what the actual fuck im doing with martyrs bc im becoming less and less convinced i know how to handle the text wrt my dissertation topic/argument

figure out which chapter im writing next bc doing martyrs sounds scary but idk if im ready to do LT, and im waiting on a massive name in the field to publish his edited version of sancerre lol

#the first journal sub is going to be a long shot - i discussed this w my advisor and it would be a surprise if it was accepted #however it's worth the rejection for the comments lol #and then ill submit somewhere else #i wonder if i can talk to julien abt the article hm. tho he's not really a Lery guy. but he knows frank so. maybe #if my longhaul flight wasn't at literally midnight i'd say id do some of this on the plane but there is NO WAY #i think tomorrow before i work on nimes im gonna have a lil come to jesus meeting w me and a notebook re: wtf i need to do w this chapter #remembering advisor's edits that ive only sort of put into place for vassy augh #long post #the 'cool to do ones' are basically things id like to do by dec 31 so it's a far longer TL there #mine #she dissertates

i did it u_u

#actually rather pleased with my Bronze Age abstract #Advisor is going to demolish the Other one but that's okay because I at least did something so I got the practice and I can sleep now.#It's kind of funny I was writing the Bronze Age one and I can already feel the struggle of compressing a dissertation's worth #of information into 15 minutes. Like ffs I'm supposed to speedrun oil as an extraction reductant and also talk about Egypt's alum trade?#But this is My Fault. I have done this to myself.#Okay but I'm already bubbling with excitement to talk about Leather Tanning again. Nobody was here when I went on this massive #5 hour long rabbit hole of leather tanning research because... I think I was trying to find out if you could use mushroom collagen #to replicate leather? (The answer is yes.) But it took me down this road of Leather tanning because I was trying to understand the #ion exchange that makes it supple and TLDR there's this massive exploitative industry in the Middle East and Southeast Asia that uses #Cobalt salts because the Co 3+ sits really nicely in the collagen site and you can quickly dye and destroy most of the organics from the #animal itself; but because of that you've also destroyed the texture of the leather. I forget why Al 3+ isn't used. I think it's because it #weathers over time and the leather becomes stiff and hard again. Same with Fe3+. ANYWAY. Try and find thick leather when you #do buy leather because leather IS great and I will die(dye) on this hill. But it's the exploitative textile industry that causes problems.#Honestly I've forgotten 90% of the chemistry but it's so fucking cool and a really interesting peek into an organic affected by inorganics #rather than affecting an inorganic mineral with organics. UGH I love chemistry so much. It's so fucking cool.#ptxt #christ this might be my worst tag essay lol

and what are you going to do if you overshoot the demand (maybe limit per person too to help avoid scalping, amirite?) and there are a bunch left. are you going to add them to the site (for what price exactly? the same? lowered due to the low demand at the event? or higher do to the limited supplies? any way the resale prices are going to be insane. you're going to have to limit the amount per person lest we encounter a fad 15 year anniversary scalping incident again!) or are you going to give them away. for free, you say? hm. very interesting. it's almost like the structure of capitalism itself is inherently flawed/predatory.

#myevilposts #this is why i should be his 'evil' advisor bc i'm going over a worst case scenario and explaining how to solve it.#part of me is hoping he'll do a free but one per person limit like he did at the tennis club for the marauder 3.0 bc that'd be very #charitable generous king of him (honestly kind of bare minimum but once again. everything should be free. it's a start.)#and it would help deter scalpers a bit through both limited supplies and guilt of reselling something that was free.#but the real issue of course is capitalism. this evil capitalist structure we live in is inherently predatory #so there probably will be some nasty resellers no matter how he handles it #and that isn't really totally his fault bc it is such a systemic issue!!!!#but seriously. limiting it to the fest might not be a good idea unless they're free + limited per person. that's my two cents #as a capitalism-hating socialist freak.#i guess he could also just box the leftovers but that's a bit. anticlimactic. he might want to try to make some of that money #back or get rid of them for extra space. it's just a bit more logical in case there are any leftover.#the realistic scenario is that it sells out very very quickly and scalpers immediately take to the net #to wring the masses for every last penny for a pretty cool hoodie. bc this shouldn't be such a thing but damn that Capitalism!!!!#and once again that's not really his fault entirely but it just sucks.#another option would be to drop it on the site normally after letting it cool for a bit but that kinda. takes away the power of being #a limited edition festival item doesn't it. especially if the pricing will be different by then like 🙃

#so i survived my 1st week as a phd student. it's interesting. im not sure how i feel #the negatives are that i forgot how much stress being around people causes me. as a research assistant i was able to be on my own schedule #and go into the lab at odd hours so i never had to see anyone. but now im in classes and teaching and have a shared office #classes are tolerable stress wise so long as im sitting on an edge. i only feel a lil like im dying. teaching makes nauseous beforehand.#which is odd bc im not really worried while im doing it or before im doing it. i thibk its just that i have to interact ans i kno im a #mediocre teacher bc id rather die than do the back and forth of asking questions and u should teach interactively #i like to break down complex idea and help people with problems but i was not build to teach in classrooms. i get knocked off points when #i give class presentations bc i cant make eye contact lol. so that'll b annoying this semester. and its just so hard to function in an #office space. idk its weird like i dont even feel it that much while im there its just like a flashing *i need to leave* alarm. and then #when im alone its like a physical weight off of me. and i cant tell if thats what's draining my energy or if ive just cycled into a low #energy lul bc im just like. i wanna sleep. and for me thats always a sign that somethings wrong. i dont feel that bad mood wise but its #like there's a rock weighing me down as im trying to tread water. so those r the big negatives. the positives r that #i do enjoy being back in school. i love the structure of it. but im also self destructive abt structure so well see how it goes. but my #lab mates seem nice as does my advisor. i feel a bit bad bc ill have to learn genome stuff from the ground up. and today i was trying to #convey ideas to him like an insane person. bc i dont have enough background to talk fluidly abt my prospective project and i have a picture #of what i mean but not all the details. hopefully i made some sense. i think the idea is cool. and thats the other really positive thing.#the papers i have to read associated with this project r waaaaaaaaaay more interesting than anything i ever had to read for my masters. like #they're the types of papers i would force other ppl to read for lab meetings. so im optimistic abt not hating it by the end haha #yay for being excited abt science. but i guess thats the other thing i feel bad abt. like im interested but haven't read a lot to prep bc #i cant express how difficult dyslexia makes things but also i cant control how interested in things i get so i bassically banned myself #from reading papers im actually interested in like 3 years ago bc in retrospect i was prob going thru a hypomanic episode #and i was like reading papers abt microbes in Antarctica all day and not working on my stuff. and i just remember walking into the lab at #like 5am to trasfer alage with tears streaming down my face bc i was just like. i cant have this nice thing and b functional. it has to stop #so i just created this weird barrier in my mind where im not allowed to read fun papers. so its odd to b reading them now for work. its odd #also i was walking to my office worring abt things and then i saw some moss growinf around the edge of the sidewalk and it made me wanna cry #bc i am an extremely normal individual. i have normal feelings abt photosynthesis. but anyway yeah. its been interesting #hopefully ill stay optimistic. next week we have a orientation for new grad students. and i might have to drive like an hr away. hate that #the driving i mean. not the orientation. that should b fun #unrelated

Very random but holy fuck I forgot how nice it feels to have an actually supportive person as your academic advisor. Like, I just met my new one today and?? She's so?? Helpful??? I literally cried because of it, omg

#it was like magical #im so happy i dont have to have a shitty academic advisor anymore #i rarely ever cry so it kinda caught me off guard #but best way to start my day honestly #that whole meeting just felt like such a wonderful reversal of my experience with academic advisors and some profs last year #cause i cried in someone's office last year too #but that was cause the prof i was talking to was essentially like “yeah you're failing my class and theres nothing you can do about it now”#which was not cool #especially cause later i learned that based on my degree requirements i actually couldve still passed that class given the work we had left #and my academic advisor last year was so unhelpful when i was trying to find summer courses to make up the credit #she just shoved an outdated website at me to try and find equivalent classes that was completely incorrect and left me to figure it out #but oh well #now i have a really great academic advisor and i love her already #and i also finally have accomodations for my adhd #so im doing a lot better this semester

i’m so not ready to start school in two weeks

#i wanna cry and throw up every time i think about it #but at least it’s just this year and then i’m done!!! but i gotta write my thesis ew #also like i’m stressed cause the thesis is one credit right #and my academic advisor was like okay actually you’re gonna need to take two more credits with your thesis advisor #instead of taking another class #okay cool so i email her about that and she’s like let me get back to you #and it’s been almost a week since that and now i’m stressed bc first off i’ll need those credits to graduate #so it’s not like i just can’t have them #and also if she says no then i need to find another class or something to take to fill in the space #cause i have to have a certain amount of credits for the financial aid #so anyway yeah i’m stressed cause it’s two weeks out #ugh and not to mention last week one professor was like hey do y’all wanna change our class time to earlier #and i haven’t heard if that’s confirmed yet #and like besties pls hurry up cause i need to put in to have my work schedule changed like asap #ugh sorry for the five million tags i just really needed to write this down somewhere so it’s out of my head

god this remote connection is so frustrating!! it was working just fine last week but now it’s super slow and one of the loaded modules isn’t working and i just really did not want to have walk to work in the 100+ degree heat today

#i am going to have to email the it person again but he only works part time and kinda hates all grad students #and i really need to get these figures made before i meet with my advisor tomorrow morning:((((#i need to have something to show him cause i am going out of town for 10 days and i haven't told him yet #i was hoping to work remotely some of the days but it is looking increasingly like that won't be possible #at least not on the scale that i will need to get work done #gonna probably go to the office after sunset once it cools down a bit #i haven't been able to sleep before 2 am the last few days anyway so i can get a few hours in then #as long as i get some sleep before my meeting in the morning #really trying not to have too much coffee :(((((#personal
