gnatpackThis week promises to be a busy one. On top of the usual rush of school I have a radio meeting and my mom's birthday at the start of the weekend. As always I've assumed the role of birthday cake maker, so I'll be spending half the week making individual elements to combine into one cake. Last year was a disaster with curdled icing and gelatin that refused to set, so the expectations for this year are at least not particularly high.
Classes end at the start of May, which will at least bring me some relief. Unfortunately I'm taking a few short courses in June so I can stay on track to graduate next spring despite changing my major. I'll still have July and part of August off, but June will be a rush of classes that span two hours a day, four days a week. Right now I'm only enrolled in two, but I'm trying to decide if I want to add on a third just to get the most out of my grant money.
I need to do more work for the radio show but there's a hiccup: I don't want to. Now that I'm finally making some progress on coding my Neocities site I want to keep that momentum going, but making a personal website is kind of low on the priority scale compared to things that have real life consequences. There's also the final essay that I need to do for English, but the prompt "write an essay" isn't particularly inspiring. Overall the class has been little more than a glorified book club, which has really dampened my usual enthusiasm for analysis.
There are also quite a few mostly-done projects that I should get around to finishing, but I'll leave those for a separate post later. Right now I'm watching an old episode of Gardener's World on Tubi while I eat breakfast and try to work up the willpower to focus on the things I need to do today. It's a nice, calm show, but it also is full of older people whose decades of financial stability allowed them to buy fancy brick houses with two acres of land to garden. In that sense it feels a bit fictional compared to me being financially reliant on school grants right now
