Crawling back out into the world after 11 days of being terribly sick. I’m lucky to have friends bring me food (thanksgiving leftovers 4EVA), but 0/10 do not recommend. Inbox and to-do list have reached disaster levels. I’d rather stay in bed until January. Stay healthy, folks.

Academia runs on contacting other academics out of the blue and saying HEY do you wanna do this COOL THING for essentially NO REWARD and equally certainly NO RECOGNITION from your employer and those people going OH MAN that sounds AWESOME sign me up for the COOL NO REWARD NO RECOGNITION EXPERIENCE.
Same, girl. Same.
The end.
Well, I’m glad there were other fights lined up so that I could at least see some boxing.
