It's 32°C. The sky is blue and the concrete is hot. Let's go for a walk.

oops using this as a personal venting blog again whoopsie doo

I am so scared of quitting the things I did last year

but whenever I think of doing robotics now I'm just so unengaged

Someone suited to this would be like "alright, time to build another robot!" but I just can't spark genuine enthusiasm into the prospect

I liked learning the skills (lathes, mills, calipers, ect...Very cool) but I would rather apply them to other things (making sports equipment, compact cases, cool everyday gadgets and crafts) instead of a robot

These things are unmistakably cool, and I appreciate the work that went into them, but I don't gush about them enough for the 8 hours a week (in addition to school and other activities) to feel like a good payoff instead of a drag at my time and energy

And thats what really sucks

I'm scared that my lack of enthusiasm for a project will inevitably create a chasm between these mentors who I still want to learn from and also seep into every aspect of my life

I spent all of last year shaping an active life for myself through sheer will, because it was what I needed to push through other life circumstances, but this year I'm scared to pick things back up again

And its not just the getting back into it (though I don't deny that might have some effect), because I was still going through the motions during the summer sessions that were meant to keep people engaged (but were more focused on shop skills)

Knowing that the next year of my life would be put towards a project everyone else is invested in as I'm just sorta there is disheartening

I'm trying to condense this, promise ToT

I'm not going to be a robotics specialist

Nor am I interested in making robots for automation, competition, or any purpose

I enjoyed this activity in the first place because through building a robot, I could learn about making things with my own two hands

I got the confidence to make my own shelf, something that used to feel too big to tackle (I even put it up by myself, something that was quite risky in retrospect but I'm still here so fate let me go that day ig)

I gave myself permission to think "I could make that," and I like to think that one day, I truly will

I let myself engage with the world under the identity of 'robotics member' and 'STEM girl(with a question mark because WHO KNOWS)' and sometimes it filled me with pride

But when I think about it in retrospect, it's not true to me

Okay, I spent the last 15, 20, 30 minutes writing this instead of my resignation letter to my mentors, which will probably skip the entire diatribe about my personal feelings on the matter and end up sounding a little callous as a result

I always do this aaaaaghhhhh

I very much pity any poor tumblr user who stumbles on this,, please take some free holy water to cleanse your eyes from teenage angst

though in most likelihood this will likely be me reading this over in like, 3 weeks - 3 years

Honestly, in retrospect, my best machining ideas were always related to the niche hobbies I had outside of robotics

and those weren't exactly welcomed, since the focus is so much on the actual robot (or side conversations that were targeted towards an old man (sorry but that's just the genuine audience for it) demographic that I polite engaged with n times) that I didn't feel as welcome trying those things out

I hope that should I ever have access to a shop again, I can pursue the projects that make me happy to engage in, especially now that I know how to

I'm really grateful they introduced me to CAD and laser printing, because I want to use those in my own art

and try some architecture stuff too (architecture as a concept, and a way to engage with humanity, scratches my brain very much, I should find some good tumblrs about it)

In short, thank you robotics, I wish you luck on your way!

going to school has been my lifeline

it has always been what I stuck to,

how i identified myself from the rest

of my peers

now i am here wallowing in a B

hurt and embarrassed to be called out

about a thesaurus

and not knowing how to spell thesaurus

getting too caught up in my ego to realize i am just another student

in a classroom full of smart kids

who have something going for themselves

and the work ethic to actually follow through

I can't believe this is what I've been worrying about all day. It just built up and up until it towered over me, too big to be identified.

Ah, who cares. I'll use that thesaurus till I know every synonym by heart. I'll use it till I learn how to not use it. I am no longer gifted, and that stings, but surely I will get used to it. Not now though, right now it feels like sticky burs in my stomach, poking and roiling away at my expense.

It can be hard to not throw out all that work I did to get to way I am. It is really tempting to when I see how farther others my age have come, even from the same shitty circumstances. It feels radical to go from rebuking my laziness, or even embracing it, to letting it be. Letting things be is hard. I thought I had a handle on it, but it's as easy to let go as it is to grab onto.

This is almost completely stream of consciousness. I need to do my homework. I want to do everything and that makes me want to do nothing at the same time. The books make me peek my head out every once in a while to be curious. I hope I can stop being embarrassed of the fact that the otomes, visual novels, and webtoons make me do the same.

Now its time for this account to go back to being a regularly scheduled otome fan account (or whatever happens on this zombie account, to be honest).

I am consumed by fear that my mother might die in Gaza while I am far away, unable to help her. The thought of her suffering alone in such a dangerous place breaks my heart. I feel so helpless and terrified, knowing I can't be there to protect her or bring her to safety. Every day is filled with anxiety and dread, as I hope and pray for her survival amidst the chaos.
