Enjoying the modality of summer school, finishing my time at junior college with straight A's, recounting my time languishing at a junior college in Arizona a decade ago, teachers at that time seeing me and my circumstances clearer that I could, how we use systems of divination like Tarot and the I Ching to give us permission to do what we already wanted to, exhausting my girlfriend (and this podcast's listeners) with my school anecdotes, and the possibility of continuing the podcast past one hundred episodes.

Episode 85 - Potential

 

Missing last week's episode, trying to finish the semester (and my time at community college in general) strong, having to absorb the responsibilities of others, the bureaucracy nightmare of the admissions process, developing the skill of advocating for yourself, shitty service as a consequence of being mismanaged, not living up to one's potential, people making excuses for themselves, leveraging the current pandemic for your own needs, stumbling on an analysis of Bela Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta" by my former music theory teacher, and wishing I had been a better student during my time with them.

Episode 84 - Admissions

 

Getting accepted to my four-year school of choice, feeling accomplished for the hard work of the last two years paying off, deciding I want to change my major moving forward, considering comparative literature and East Asian studies, worrying my reading and intellectual interests disqualified me from being a therapist, considering learning Chinese, watching the new "Mortal Kombat" movie and the COVID documentary "The Last Cruise" on HBO Max.
