yawning part two.

me again - figured i'd just post on the old life update thread since it's perfectly good and still on the front page. Semi-regular "I'm not dead just kinda dozing" post.

It's currently very late at night and I'm working on my German capstone. I needed to stop and take a break for a second so I didn't lose my mind. This thing is wrecking me. I'm writing the thing on TV satire in Germany and particuarly one guy named Jan Böhmermann who I have grown to admire as a satirist because of how far he's willing to go to use his humor to correct or at least identify real problems. Anyway. What else is happening.

There's a pandemic. I thought I had coronavirus for a few days but I didn't. All I have now is keyboards. Lots and lots of them. At least I use them for things! I hit 100 followers on Twitch recently! Close to 120 now. I've been playing a ton of osu!, Overwatch, and Valorant lately. Twitch is to me now what NS used to be - a social minefield that I sink way too much time into. The major upside to it is that if I get bored of a game, I can switch to another and people (usually) still come hang out in my chat - not many but enough to keep me going. 

As far as what else is going on - everything's on hold. Graduation cancelled, mock trial cancelled midway through the season, the one thing that gives me hope is the job I landed.  I applied through Fulbright for an English teaching assistantship in Austria and got it! It's run by the Austrian education ministry and not Fulbright, but I'll be teaching English in Vienna starting in September! Hopefully that doesn't also get postponed or cancelled, but signs point to Austria being way ahead of the game on getting back to semi-normal. I hope the US' complete incompetence here doesn't cause an issue with me getting my residence permit. Austria might even get to finish out this school year in person though, so fingers crossed. 

As always, this isn't a sign of my return, I don't expect to in the near future at all, just popping my head up since I've been chilling in the TSP discord more than usual lately and I wanted to give a more formal check-in. I hope y'all are well and of course much love <3
