Things are looking up
Things have certainly changed in various ways these past few months. Up until January, my life was very monotonous - always doing the same thing in one way or another. Now, I can be myself, I have a boyfriend, I have a dog, and I’m not often having a day that mirrors another. There’s plenty of things I still want, but I’m happier than I was a year ago.

The job search
It seems like it’s looking up, somewhat. I’ve applied to hundreds places and received just as many denials - even yesterday I had a phone call that felt like a complete waste of time, as 30 minutes later I received an email stating I’d been denied.
However today, I’ve received numerous emails asking for interviews, even one from MUSC which I’d quite honestly thought had denied me / moved on with another applicant.
I’m now speaking with two recruiters, as well as have two interviews for the coming week.
Hopefully these go better than the everything with Bungie Studios and CofC.
Coding
I’ve taken a break from any of my projects here lately, I’ve gotten myself burnt out - and given the fact that I got my financial aid taken away, I’m no longer able to continue in my current program; Thank you very much Epilepsy! Yet again, another thing taken from me. I’m not at a huge loss, I’ve gained most of what I needed apart from the final group project and another Microsoft Access class - the knowledge is what is what is most important to me.
Had I not needed to take such light semesters so often due to repeated seizures, been hospitalized when I otherwise needed to take a semesters, and generally speaking just been so out of it thanks to meds - I’d be done by now! But unfortunately I’m not, and it doesn’t work out that way. But I digress.
The main point is that I’ve taken a break from my main projects as well as pursuing new projects for the time being due to burnout. After the past 6 years of being in school and doing something or another, and coding nonstop for the past 3; I want a break. I’m not getting paid for it (yet). When I start getting paid, I’ll be just as enthused as I was two weeks ago when I started making a programming language.
Poly days
I get to play Halo with my boyfriend and my partner. This is the type of shit I’ve always wanted in my life. Up until ~April-ish I did not like men. Come July, I have a boyfriend. I dunno what the disconnect was there, but I’m happy.
The best part is, my partner and I are both nerdy, and our boyfriend is really creative. The dynamic is just a lot of fun. He and I grew up playing the same games; Halo, Ace Combat, Star Wars, etc. My partner didn’t play the same games, but they enjoy playing them with us it seems; especially when they can play in the most distracting way possible - cause of course Jesús and I cant have a flawless Halo 2 run, that would be too easy for Mia.
SPEAKING OF!
Jesús just joined the voice chat - meaning it’s Halo time! I’m gonna cut this short AF.
