May 15: Pre-Trip

[kinetic_elaboration]

Still pretty rough emotionally but it’s getting better. I did some transcribing at work and also had a meeting about writing strategic plan stuff. I don’t care about this, it is prime bullshit work, but it did eat up time. I think my committee is pretty good, and I am trying my best to find the places where I can be useful. Tomorrow is an extra short day because of graduation (good) but I have a lot to do before my vacation. I just gotta focus for a little longer, basically.

I’ve spent most of this evening setting up my new laptop. I’m going to miss my current one–I do think it’s better in some ways. But more and more of it is going, alas. I still haven’t transferred everything over but I think I did enough where it can be usable by itself for the next week.

I’ve also done all my packing. The most important chores and things. I have not had time for things that are more fun but… whatever. I do have all this time off coming up. It’s fine.

Probably best not to think too much at the moment. I don’t like liminal times, tomorrow is a long, weird day, and my apartment is a mess but I shouldn’t let that haunt me next week.
