@Satsuma anyways i am simultaneously very good at networking and very bad at networking

i know all the people and gain zero opportunities from them

@Lady oh mood

The think about doing an associates to bachelors is that i spent my first two years charming profs who don’t do research, aren’t allowed to have ta’s, don’t know about most undergraduate opportunities, & will be my last choice for recommendations bc they’ll be two years out of date by the time I need them.

So now I’m tryna speedrun networking my junior year

@Satsuma see in my case i majored in gender studies

@Lady people do things with that sometimes

But yeah history was in part a tactical choice

@Satsuma i’m not saying people don’t do things with it, i’m saying that the professors tend to not be the type with a bunch of opportunities in their back pocket

since opportunities tend to coincide with capitalism, and gender studies tends to, not

@Lady mh yeah

@Satsuma but i mean i was severely depressed all of college it’s not like i was asking around either

@Lady that does make things difficult

@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

@Lady kibi reïnventing capes

@Satsuma they’re worn differently! capes are secured by a clasp at the front of the neck whereas quilts are secured by gravity on account of there being more fabric in front of your body than behind

@Lady until you need to leave the house in which case you want a bit of extra security while you’re running around

@Lady thats probably better sleep hygiene than my habit of Nesting

@Rowyn i did the thing!!!!

Ty 💛
