you have to fall in love with the process. that's literally what life is! learning! growing! you will waste your whole existence if you continue to drag yourself to this non-existent finish line. the only real finish line is the end of life. that's not to say to stop having goals, but to not let them be the be all and end all. you are so much more than that!

Could not, for the life of me, get the lighting to cooperate in the library. I did, however, get a metric shit ton of work done.

~life update~

the past few days i've been really rough. i went out to dinner to celebrate one of my bestie's 21'st bday which was really fun. the beef short rib was super good. however, i started feeling really bad when I got home and i went to the dr the next morning. i tested negative for covid, flu, and strep so really no idea what's going on there but i got some lovely antibiotics so that's helping a bit. they did a throat culture to test for epstein-barr virus (mono) so answers soon?

i'm supposed to be taking the network+ certification tomorrow so we'll see if that happens but probably not. I can't even sit up straight bc of a killer headache. going to try and knock out some studying today for the holiday and tomorrow.

Today went a little bit better than it has been lately. I managed to lock in over the weekend and finish quite a bit of problem sets for discrete math. Final exam this week 🤌

Crying alone? No no no, light a candle and cry in the company of gods.
