jazzfishWell. After that I had a nasty breakdown last week. I'm, hm. I won't say I'm fine now, but I'm certainly out of the worst of it and I seem to be doing alright. It was a particularly nasty combination of acute depression (state of the US, digging into some rough stuff in counseling) and difficulties in keeping going on practicum stuff. The acute depression passed eventually as these things do, and I managed to drag myself out of the avoidant part of 'difficulty keeping going on the thing i'm supposed to be doing,' so that's all for the good.
Registered for my last class this morning. Bit of drama in that; I went to confirm the amount I owed and they'd stuck a $4900 "Technology International Fees" in there. Spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what that was, including an hour on hold. It got mysteriously removed about ten minutes before they connected me with someone who said they'd mistakenly applied it to all student accounts. Frustrating to have wasted my time chasing it down, but at least it wasn't a real thing. Four more months, and this will all be over with. Need to figure out what comes next, I guess.
I've made a space on the table for Mr Tuppert to sit next to me while I'm working, in the hope that he'll stop biting me for attention. This ... sometimes works. In general we're getting along better. He'll come sit with me when I watch TV at lunchtime as long as I put a blanket down for him to sit on, etc. I'm glad he's here.
I watched the first two seasons of Black Lightning, and now I'm watching Arrowverse again in half-season increments (because they put the crossovers in the middle of the seasons). Black Lightning takes itself pretty seriously, but it's about Black issues so it's got a good reason to. Arrow just takes itself more seriously than it needs to. As I recall this season of Flash is angsty as well (I got about three episodes in before Erin gave up). Looking forward to Legends, and Supergirl, to break that up somewhat.
