    I hope this non-profit calls me back. It would be nice to do something meaningful and relevant to my studies.

    Counting the hours 'til Thursday when my first prac class starts. It’s gonna be hot, but I just want to do something.

    mental health rant

    I feel like I’m rotting. It’s hard to have confidence and self-esteem when all my life it’s been beaten out of me. The foundations aren’t there, but I can build them. It’s up to me, even if I resent it.

    I just want some kind of meaning, something I can throw myself into without the self-doubt and self-deprecation. I almost envy those who are religious, they have meaning and purpose. But I can and will create my own.

    I’m also super excited about this asteroid in 2032. There’s been so much hype about it, but the closer we get to that year the more likely it is that it will pass us. Our math will only get more and more accurate regarding its trajectory. Besides, it’s pretty small, so it would only devastate like, most of India and the Atlantic Ocean (dark joke, it’s actually a terrible thought!)

    One thing that ever so slightly irks me, is when people say that Jupiter keeps us safe by its gravity flinging large objects away from the inner planets; it also flings things in too! Why do people think Jupiter’s gravity would only work one way? Sure it “cleans up” objects, but it also launches them all over the place too. Stop attributing intelligence to inanimate objects (inanimate in that they don’t have like, a conscience. It’s made of gas and rock!) Gah! I’ll have to source that video I saw about it, so I can cite it properly.

    I love space, cosmology, astronomy, anything super nerdy like that.
