Spring semester's almost over, just in time for the summer semester to start. Thinking of just leaving to have a fishing boat in Alaska and raise a gaggle of fisher-children. (Yes, I binged The Great North, and I am going to assume all of Alaska is like it now. No, I will not take criticism. Yes, you may visit me.)

Alaska is cold

Something you know I hate, but that's a risk I'm willing to take to be the 40-some year old father of 4

[xp_topaz]

I worry about you sometimes

[xp_loa]

Don't worry, it's only 4 more years then I'll probably be a normal person OR, see above, father of 4

Take a summer term off and do something so you don't burn out?

[xp_loa]

Sadly I'm already signed up for my summer requirements - No room for free summers when chasing that doctorate

[xp_darcy]

Sometimes you have to make room, even if it's a single term sabbatical or something. Burnout is nobody's friend.

Sadly, this is a hell I signed up for. 🥹 But, only two courses this summer! 💖💖

Sentiment remains, I took an entire semester in New Mexico doing science completely outside my field, highly rec it. That's how you make weird spy friends like Clint.

[xp_loa]

Whale - Oof. Love Clint but couldn't do another-nother one.

It's true, there can only be one.
