12 - 6: untitled

listening

  • still evanescence, also finished the "well there's your problem" episode on gulf state vanity projects and started the most recent one (ep 118)

reading

  • quantum notes :( truly endless pain. ive been trying to memorize flash cards but i think my brain is dissolving

watching

  • i watched a livestream of my partner's choir concert last night ... it was very nice but i wish i could have gone in person. maybe when im done with classes ill fly home early and surprise him...

playing

  • n/a

making

  • in theory crocheting the shawl still but not really. going to try and embroider more of that gift tonight because i really want to ship it out for the holidays.

delights

  • BONUS: what delights have i experienced this week?
  • walking around: got back into pokego so ive been doing a lot of silly little pokemon walks
  • transcendence: my friend explained exactly how to calculate the matrix representations of operators and it blew my brain wide fucking open. like so THERE'S where those fucking numbers come from! well i'll be!
  • deliciousness: my roommate decided it is beneficial to her to cook meals for me so very frequently she serves me Delicious Food, the other night she made chicken marsala and it was very very good
  • very few delights this past week though. it's just been anguish. n/a for goofing, coitus, enthrallment, fellowship, amelioration, wildcard
  • next week's will likely be even sparser because the next few days are just going to be an endless cycle of "i need to study" -> studying goes poorly -> lying to myself that i understand the material and trying again -> i manage to study a little bit but take way too long a break -> "i need to study" ad infinum

misc

  • oh god fuck lol. re-entering my "gaslight myself" era
  • i have my quantum final in less than a week, next week's tuesdayposting will have the results of that one...RAPIDLY approaching the event horizon where im going to have to take klonopin just to study without panicking lol

12 - 24: technically shabbosposting

listening

  • Homestuck Made This World podcast, more WTYP podcast, my spotify top tracks of the year playlist mainly, also scheherazade suite (the budapest philharmonic recording)

reading

  • nothing ♥️ I'm looking forward to looking at my reading list and hitting some of that though. Also making posts to queue for my museum blog

watching

  • I watched basically all of Bocci the Rock in one sitting with my partner, it's soooo cute

    (gif of bocci burning her hand on the coffee machine)

playing

  • hadesgame!

making

  • theoretically embroidering, I'm so close to being done with this project but the last stretch is trying me

delights

  • BONUS: what delights have i experienced this week?
  • walking around: home for break so I've been walking my family dog every day :D before coming home I had some good lil walks around downtown too. a lot of pokego happening
  • fellowship, deliciousness: had some good hangouts before coming home; birthday dinner for a friend at a really good burger place (had a REALLY GOOD blackberry cocktail there) and played billiards after, small gettogether on the first night of Chanukah (my roommate did the cooking and while her latkes were not coherent shapes they were delicious) ... and obviously now that I'm home, hanging out with my mom and SO, making plans to see friends, made sufganiyot with @saltedcaramelbastard!!! and my brother gets back home from study abroad today so it'll be awesome to see him too (plus meet his gf)

  • goofing: well so. okay. the process of making the sufganiyot involved filling them with cream right. we made a lemon custard for it and put that in a piping bag, used a chopstick to make a hole, and then piped the custard in. the required jokes were made. however my mom thought this was so funny that when she asked if she could try filling a donut she (and I) broke down in hysterics. i do have a delightful candid shot that I will not be posting here but it was so silly
  • transcendence: semester is over..i finished the nightmare semester...
  • wildcard: not only is the semester over I PASSED ALL MY CLASSES. WITH WIGGLE ROOM NO LESS. B in quantum, B in the stupid math class, A in the machine learning class. i am akin to a god etc. never doing that to myself again lol lmao.

misc

  • 12-13: im going to parrot gfsofthegalaxy and skip tuesdayposting for this week: ive not Done Anything besides study for quantum and play pokemon go on walks so ill make a new update next week :)
  • i havent been tuesdayposting the past few weeks so this is a convenient time to try shabbosposting instead! we did it. we finished the semester.
