Traveling on the roads has been odd this year.. I have now witnessed gas stations with cleaning robots. I'm checking into a motel late tonight and am wondering if any hotels and motels will have cl*nkers checking guests in after dark

I'm so relieved I got to the room for my final exam this week ahead of time. I spent my night and morning tossed between weird dreams and need the time to brush the cobwebs out of my head.
The brain has a weird way of balancing stress out.

Just cranked out a very rough draft for peer reviews arguing for academic institutions in America to continue to consider the different experiences that international students have with technology...
Then I realized my thesis changed after research AND I no longer have counterpoints! 🫠

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends! December is basically here now!
In the midst of cooking up a feast last week, I went through my annual tradition of filling gallon-sized freezer bags with pumpkin puree made from scratch. It freezes well and is great in smoothies and winter soups!

This fall semester of actual in-person classes is all-but-over, and I'm excited to finish my last geology lab project on fossils...
I'm not lying! Well, maybe to myself...
Uhhh, don't believe me?! check out this cool bench!!!!!!

There's tough competition out there... but I finished with my fastest 10k run time in the last 2 years!
Not bad for someone at the tail end of my age group!

Is it unusual to think that a college course is unbearably exhausting with its assignments and lectures because there's a feedback loop of a bad learning environment because course instructors/professors and students don't communicate?

Believe me when I say this is my greatest accomplishment this weekend.. beating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix once on critical mode, then beating him again shortly afterwards when my game crashed.

I've been running a little game challenge in my free time where I aim to complete all 1,613 research tasks in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Today, I fixed my tracker so that I can keep my focus strong. That's a good thing, as I'm only a third of the way through after I started this over a year ago!

This week, I was reminded of how to recognize my body doesn't need an energy drink. There were several days that I felt sluggish, even though I was mixing only half a Red Bull with orange juice, ginger, and turmeric.
A day's break from 5 oz/day was all I needed to bounce back!

After sitting in a local café that uni students visit, I overheard one fellow student talk about their right-wing preferences over the phone and how they hated to see Muslims being represented and endorsed by the university on social media.
Right wing elitism has people acting out in public. WWJD?

Every day since January 18th this year, I've heard the phrase "waste, fraud, and abuse" in terms of government spending.
"Fraud, waste, and abuse" is typically the order in messages about government accountability.
The reordering is deliberate. Fraudsters want you to focus on "waste" first.

Is there an acceptable filling-to-pastry ratio for turnovers?
Like, are you supposed to be able to have filling in every bite? Or are most of the bites meant to be pastry and air?

I... I said "who fucking cares" in a very passive aggressive way today. At a cafe, I overheard two women at least twice my age complaining about "the illegals" sucking up $$$s and I pretended to call up my uni's academic services to complain about taking an upcoming national politics class... (1/2)
those of you who are afraid of aging, please understand that one of the huge blessings of middle age is arriving at this exact station
