Computer Science. I've mapped out a handful of potential career paths that I could use it for, so we'll see where it leads me. Computer science felt like one of the more flexible degree options for the paths that I was interested in. A year ago, everything felt too uncertain with so many people being laid off and with AI being over-hyped. But now that so many companies have mass-adopted AI and forced it down our throats (now with an increasing number of them dropping AI entirely), I can see very clearly that its not the magic solution to replace humans that they wanted it to be.

Oh that's fun! Did you go to any national parks? The smashburgers are wonderful! Have you heard of Penzey's spices? I love a few of their blends for various things, but my favorite thing to put on those smashburgers is their Quebec Beef Spice. So good! But they're awesome burgers even with just salt and pepper. I hope that costco will continue to stock them every year.

I have not seen the pretzel bagels yet, but I'll keep an eye out for them! They sound delicious! What have you been eating on them?

I've mostly just been catching up on housework and trying to get myself on a more structured schedule so that I'm ready and organized for when classes start. I've been pretty anxious about not knowing what the summer workload will be like, so I've been distracting myself with busy work. Like researching different career paths and what would be required.

Thank you! ^^

They are not, but I do still have some programming classes from the humble bundle to work through. Sadly I stopped one of those mid-project when life got too busy, so I may have to just restart the project/course I was working on. I also have a handful of other free tutorials/courses saved that I want to try when I run out of those. I was told that summer semester is shorter than the others, so my advisor only recommended 10 credits. Classes start July 6 and I genuinely have no clue how busy I should expect to be with those credits.

Have you been up to anything interesting/fun lately?

Sadly the Discounty update isn't coming to switch until sometime next month, and by then I will have started some summer classes so I'm not sure how much time/brainpower I'll have for gaming. I'm still excited for it though.

Have you heard about Grave Seasons yet? It sounds pretty intriguing, and is launching on switch sometime this summer.

No worries! I hope the visit with his parents went well.

What did you have to do in Discounty to trigger things to start? Making decisions and having the ability to replay and choose different ones sounds like a lot of fun!
