Finally started graduate school and seems pretty okay so far. Haven't been able to connect much to my cohort, but a bit closer with my actual area. I'm not too down about that given I'm trying to treat this as a job than as school, and have always been shy and anxious (though not so much anymore). It'll just be something that comes naturally over time I hope as my nerves settle down a bit and Im able to meet more people in the department and in my classes.
Trying to learn Python then leapfrog from that to do more advanced analyses with AI. Good and bad, good as it seems to give me a bit of an edge on my cohort (not to validate my worth on my status to others) but bad as I didn't really expect to be doing this so early and no one has any real resources to learn. So it's up to myself to figure it out.
Meh. Finally recovered from corona. It wasn’t like the first two times when it fucked me over for a day or two with fever followed by a quick recovery. I think I didn’t had a fever at all this time? Just out of breath after doing the most mundane shit for a week. That and the hot weather made it suck a lot.
Yesterday I finally started with Baldur’s Gate 3. Yeah, it’s great. Who would have thought?! My only criticism is that I couldn’t build my DnD Character. For some reason Kenkus are off limits, so no Kenku Ranger for me. Said fuck it and made a Half-Orc Ranger with specialisation on ranged attack. Minmaxing is lame anyway.
Covid seems to be everywhere here too. My niece and dad got it (we live together) and somehow I dodged it again. My best friend an hour away got it last weekend and a local friend and her hubby got it this week now. But it seems for all more like a nuisance... takes a few days to run it's course and then it's done.
I can even pinpoint from where I got it this time. My gf is a midwife and she (almost certainly) in turn got it from a woman giving birth. What pissed me off this time was that I never really felt that weak before. Even when I was laying flat I still had my strength. Don’t know how to describe it. I felt old when I liftet a 5 kilo bag of rice inside my kitchen. It was unnerving. Call yourself lucky to dodge this one.
I'm still struggling to find the right balance of my meds so I sleep but don't wake up groggy for 5 hours. But I'm sleeping for hours at a time now which wasn't happening the past year. Taking the family on a lunch cruise on the river this Saturday, hoping that turns out nice.
My broken big toe is healing enough that now I'm only hobbling a little bit (comparatively). Started writing a song in 5/4. Had a nice Vietnamese meal. Planted some new plants in the garden, including a dianthus which I looked up and found interesting. Signed up to mbin. Those are the highlights.
5/4... rare soul! Love to hear it!!!
So far it's just 2 interwoven sections of strummed chords, very simple sections. But it sounds so bouncy! I'll post it if I manage to do something good with it.
Vacaciones, vacation...well, a long weekend at least, but not to soon after the high season.
Haven't slept well all week...
I passed my theory exam for my driving license, so I guess I'm happy? 🤷🏽 Never touched a car before so I guess it's in the driving lessons where I'll struggle
