I had my last class ever yesterday. That feels insane. It's really weird not feeling constant external pressure anymore.

I have spent over 40 of the last 72 hours in front of a computer, and I feel amazing. I was in WAY over my head on this site a few days ago, but I buckled down and did hours of research and debugging and I figured stuff out. There was also a (cute) girl in my class who was struggling with a lot of the stuff that confused me when I was learning this language, and it felt really good to not just help her fix her code, but see that she was actually understanding a lot of what I was telling her. Also she kept buying me coffee, which was nice.

I'm getting ready for a house show in a week. It'll be a nice last hurrah, but it feels strange that this is the last time that most of my friends will be hearing me play music - at least for a long time. I'm collaborating with a bunch of music friends on this show (including my ex, who is singing this Leonard Cohen song with me), and it should be a good time all around.

I've made it a full month being single, and I am starting to really find things to like about myself again. I am in a generally good place, and I feel really solid.
