>>11803033I too have been cockblocked by this year in every way. This was supposed to be the Summer of Me!
>take a class entirely based on wanting to do the labs>labs all cancelled, lectures on topics i wanted all cut, project cancelled, everyone probably got an A>next semester might be zoom classes again so i might not bother taking anything>research project put on hold despite being something specifically tuned to remote work>waiting for other lab to collaborate, their professor turned out to be why we weren't working together in the first place>now have almost nothing to do but also no motivation to do it>gf wanted to come here>now no legal way for us to see each other>finally found a great prof to TA for>can't do it again next semester>rent went up>signed new year lease because i assumed everything would be going well>if my program falls apart, no job opportunities hereI know some of it is complaining that things are too easy, but that fucking sucks when I've spent two years waiting for the intellectual stimulation I was sold the program on. I can't even spend the free time socializing or something, it's mostly just me slowly rotting.
And I bet Zoom is spyware too.
