Pay the cat tax

I do not make the rules, I just...

well ignore them but this one's good we should enforce this one

Trying to find and apply to direct PhD programs for sociolinguistics or cultural studies because overseas fully funded MA programs are impossible to find. Going through multiple professors' work over and over makes me cry and stresses me out.

Re: how's life been guys

Honestly, not so well.

I have been having continuous arguments with family about my own choices in life, dealing with a micromanaging boss who makes my current job miserable as hell, working on some financial and stability concerns, and losing a ton of sleep over all of these stressors in my life.

Only things keeping me afloat are my supportive friends and my loving partner. A lot lately, it's been quite challenging for me to find enjoyment in my life but thankfully I have a supportive group of people to keep me company.

I really do hope this will all pass sooner than later. It's frustrating to tolerate so much irrationality, selfishness, and greed nowadays.

I wrote music for three short films all within a months time. One of them won best documentary at my university's film festival and will be one of five chosen to be shown in LA

Might have a Zoom meeting with one or even two Hollywood film music orchestrators in hopes that I can start making *real* money soon

Getting promoted at my job, can't complain since the pay is minimal but I get paid to just sit all day and assist students with basic computer stuff

Still unsure if I'm destined to stay in Miami or move to LA for work but I'm keeping options open

Re: how's life been guys

Also pursuing a Master's, albeit fully online (MBA w/ Music Business concentration)
Getting constantly annoyed by how noisy the house is every damn day (I finally had to purchase silicone earplugs, they help but I'm still annoyed, I just want my peace)
Performing with several community instrumental groups and choirs
Arranging music for high schools
Potentially becoming a marching band pit captain at my high school soon

Always thinking of ways to find the next step to pursue my vision

I totally relate to the family thing. Mine are quite disappointed with me, and it still stings sometimes; however, they can also fuck off with that noise. I also recently left a job that I felt miserable at (I liked the job and was good at it [rare] but the culture there sucked). I should have stayed at that job career-wise I think, but I have too low of a tolerance for bullshit. So for what it's worth, you're probably more resilient than I am for dealing with an annoying boss.

I'm glad you have people in your corner who support you.

finally got accepted for insurance so i can afford medication

been going to service projects to try and help alleviate some of the suffering in the world

not doing great but im doing a lot better than i was a year ago

what kinda service projects and what kinda medication?

been on the grind to change my "skinny fat" problem

i actually got a few real ass irl friends in school, so that's always good

yeah just tryna live in high school, not treating it like some "my only goal is to survive" thing

I started going back to the gym recently too. Progress is an ass to wait for, but working out really helps with mental health

Also grats on having friends LOL but really though. I'm sure you hear this all the time, but high school won't really matter down the line. The important thing really is to survive.

how do you work if you're 14. if i were you though i would work. omg having money while being a kid. brooooo. then you can save up and get a car when you're 16 and ride around???

It's also okay if you don't know what you wanna do. Really. Even if you might think you know you could be wrong. When I was your age I thought I was gonna be a doctor. 12 years later and that's not happening :P

However, if you're considering college, actually think about how you're gonna pay for it. That's way more important IMO than knowing how your path's gonna look

hi electric orange :B

OH MY GOD

oof, good luck. i have no idea how that works but i do know phd apps are a shit process. are you applying to start in 2024?

i'm basically paying full price for my master's which is a huge L and why i'm working full time on top of it

why are you getting an mba specifically? i'm also doing (nearly) all of my master's online which is GREAT
as for the noise thing if it's something that can be addressed I'd speak with your housemates about it. better than eventually hating them eh?

To preface, I found that in order to thrive in today's society in music, I need to supplement it with business skills; music and business are becoming more and more intertwined.

Specifically, I'm pursuing the program to gain the skills needed to pursue my vision; founding an ensemble that fosters a genre of percussion and choir music. I'm doing this online to save money, and have the flexibility to also continue performing with several musical ensembles.

The noise thing really isn't all that bad, even though I get annoyed, I do get my peace most of the time, and I'm finding my earplugs are a great solution.
