gnatpackWelp, covid finally got me. I'd managed to avoid it this long largely as an unintended perk of my agoraphobia, which isn't a method I'd recommend but there's no deny its help. This means I've spent the first week in August recovering, which is also great because classes start on the 19th. Kinda had plans for how i intended to use that time but yeah, sweating and coughing are fine too I guess.
Having lots of free time to lay around thinking was maybe also less than great for me. Things post-radio have been weird. In theory I only ended the show and told the organization I was still willing to work on stuff with them; despite this it's been radio silence, and I'm not going to beg to be involved if they don't want me. I've also been coming to grips with how much the rest of my life has suffered by my prioritizing the show over basically anything else. Put too many eggs in the wrong basket.
Now I'm left having to rebuild everywhere, versus having some online presence and just needing to do better irl. And I was left to ponder this fact for several days because you're supposed to rest when you have covid. Yay!
It's frustrating because I.... need to change my major to graduate? And if I can't change it then we're at a stalemate.
My solution to this is to transfer to the university I was already planning on attending after I got my associates. It costs more, which is why I wasn't going initially, and it might mess up the timeline of my associates. The good news is that making the change now also means I may be able to double major in Anthropology and Media Studies instead of having to choose one or the other. The degree may take a little longer, but there's not exactly a job market around here anyways. The whole degree thing has always been more about wanting to do it than a job at the end of the tunnel.
So this is my last semester at my current school, and then after the winter my plan is to transfer. In the midst of my various existential crises it's nice to at least have one thing to make a definitive decision about.

in other news
Last month I had an appointment with my student advisor about changing my major. I'm not sure if he knew about it, though, because he never showed up and never said anything about missing the meeting. I'd email him to ask about it but that implies he reads or replies to my emails, which I have no proof of.It's frustrating because I.... need to change my major to graduate?
