Small update

Still alive

Turned 24

Technically working a freelance job but they haven't sent me new work in ages so sort of unemployed

Went to 2 linguistics conferences this year which helped me decide that I do want to be a professor after all

Started working on PhD applications, have sent in 7 out of 12-ish so far

Found out there's a good chance I can get financial aid because now that I'm 24, I am no longer a dependent - so I feel less bothered by the fact I didn't apply last year and "wasted" a year

Also sending in random job applications sporadically but none of them respond to me

Dating somebody but I don't think it will work out long-term and idk I'm grayromantic and just not that into it

Playing and watching a lot of Pokemon

Played Portal 2 for the first time, which ended up being one of my favorite games I've ever played

Played Half Life 1, which is the first shooter I've played for more than 5 minutes (would not have beaten it without help though)

Been watching some anime I guess? Re:Zero season 3 and Jujutsu Kaisen

Got accepted to join a community concert band, so starting tonight I get to play my oboe regularly again which I haven't in over a year

Not been listening to much music lately, need to find more time to fit it into my life

Prozac > Lexapro

Life isn't terrible
