radio silence

[corvi]

I thought it would be fun to take some classes and get a graduate certificate while everything was online and I wouldn't have to go anywhere or disrupt my life to learn cool stuff.

Buuuuut it turns out that one online reading-heavy graduate class plus one 37.5 hour per week job is approximately all the time in the entire universe, so I haven't been able to read or post here (or anywhere else) for a while. I miss getting to see the world through other peoples' eyes a little, and I look forward to being back.

A tip of the hat to all the actual grad students and professors; I have no earthly idea how you manage it.

Ahaha. Yes. Yes it is. (I think most grad students try very hard to avoid having any kind of job at the same time, if at all possible, for exactly this reason.)

Hopefully you've gotten to learn some cool stuff in the process, though?

They kicked me out with a Master's. I kind of didn't manage it.

Boy howdy that's a pile of work! Very fucking cool though. Is it go at your own pace kind of online learning, or are you beholden to a semester schedule?

Ooh yeah to the face-eatingness of grad school. What is your life-eating class in?
