One of my classes was a half semester course so our last meeting was tonight, and the prof very casually pulled me back when everyone was leaving to check what my plans were after school and oh, was i aware of these fellowships his program runs that i could apply for? He’d be happy to write me a reference if I was interested in applying

Except then I needed to double check some info he gave me, which meant emailing him and it turns out someone saying very nice things about you doesn’t actually make emailing them about research opportunities any easier!!!! Going to go lie on my floor and recover instead of doing any homework now. You know, as a very professional academic who’s definitely qualified for this fellowship program would

@Satsuma i mean that’s what i’d do

@Lady its the reasonable course of action

Tbh I actually kinda dislike lying on the floor these days bc this apartment is wall to wall carpeted

@Satsuma you don’t like lying on carpet?

@Lady i mean i grew up in all hardwood so thats where the emotional resonance is

But mostly i mean like, its cheap mediocre landlord carpet.

@Satsuma get a blanket

@Lady at that point i may as well just go hide in bed which already has plenty of blankets

@Satsuma lying in bed just makes me tired which is a problem if i’m trying to *recoup* energy

@Lady naps tho

@Satsuma SOMETIMES

@Lady naaaaaaps

@Lady no but actually i started this thread at like 10 pm or whatever so it’s less recouping energy and more ‘waiting for bedtime bc i am Out Of Spoons’

@Satsuma see i still usually do that lying on the floor with a blanket

@Satsuma but i have it easy because i just have a blanket with me most of the time

@Lady convenient

@Satsuma i’m gonna try and make walking around with quilts draped over your shoulders a Thing

it’s an idea whose time has come

@Satsuma by which i mean it is comfortable, fashionable, allows easy thermoregulation, and if you want to take a nap you already have a blanket
