(no subject)

So I have been working on this diploma since slightly before the pandemic and already it looks like it will take a least a year longer than I hoped it would take when I started

and I really really dislike virtual classes and even more labs

and I have mostly just been pushing through it and pushing through it and pushing through it for the sake of an imagined future that will get me out of the background environment through which I am pushing

and part of that is working on my resumé and job prospects etc. etc. for co-op learning which I have been putting off because uuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhh.

But I did some of that last weekend, because consultingpiskies was here and she is very helpful. And part of that was going to the websites of about twenty different recycling organizations and looking up what they are or might be hiring for and how to contact them and so on.

And realizing in the process that these organizations are actually, immediately helping with The State Of The World right now, because of ideals but also because that’s just what they do. And that there are jobs with them that I am qualified for right now, let alone two years from now.

And I feel much more like I have a goal again, and it’s so nice.
