First day back!!!
…
Pretty anticlimactic for me though, I just watched one pre-recorded lecture and finished my essay from yesterday. (Un)fortunately for me, I don’t have any seminars this semester so I feel like my transitions going to be smoother than most. No “hello, is this thing on?” and “how do I zoom?” for me. Part of me is sad that I don’t get to partake in this historic moment where old professors (boomers) and young teenagers (zoomers) collide in a remote setting, trying to figure out the best course of action. It just kinda feels like I’m attending UC Berkeley or something, where all the lectures are recorded anyways. But I guess I’m also blessed in that I’ll have a newfound appreciation for face-to-face seminars without having to deal with this current struggle. Tomorrow’s going to be my first SYNCHRONOUS meeting with my tutorial partner and prof, which I’m excited/scared for. (I keep remembering that if I were back home, we’d have to schedule it at some obscene time like 7am or 7pm for all of our time zones to work). Maybe I’ll even throw on a pair of jeans for the first time in a week? Who knows what the future holds.
