five not-physics classes i enjoyed:

- Russian Literature (introduced me to Zamyatin’s “We”)
- Asian Art History (cool! i can recognize the Jomon influence in the art styles of BOTW/TOTK)
- Notable Concerts of History (Medicis to Woodstock!)
- Mandarin Chinese (can’t speak, can pronounce names)

my divorce was finalized today so i had to virtually appear in court. which seems fine. except that they put all the couples getting divorced in the same zoom room for the hearing. and let me tell you you’ll NEVER experience more atrocious vibes than virtual divorce court.
