busy as always
Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.
Damn, Lyle Lovett is good. I might have been the youngest person in the audience, and I’m not that young. Glad I was able to be there!
mmmmmmmmmmgh,
term paper,
Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a ‘First with honours’ in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it’s an excellent result.
*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here
Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here…
She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.
Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.
Idk. I was feeling very bad recently but some great people helped me a lot so now I feel better but idk if this improvement will last for more than a few days (usually it doesn’t). I’m really depressed because of the state of the society
Keep spending time with these people! In some ways the state of society certainly does suck, but finding our people who go against that grain has the potential to make things better. At the very least, we can make some things better in the small ways we can, and that’s still something important.
I agree but seeing 2/3 or even more people act not good and everything getting worse every year has a stronger impact on me than seeing and interacting with great people. I guess it’s a pretty uncommon thing. I also have personal issues that are really serious and I can’t even talk about it because it’s very intimate. And smh every time I say I feel better, I feel worse again in a few hours. Very supernatural looking this one.
