Attended QTBIPOC orientation today. Met and talked to a guy, Cole, riffing off on the overhead PowerPoint slide about school as a "carceral" system. We both agreed the selection process from high school to college is fucked.

Saturday. A little bit of dorm cleanup.

I've got to sell my FD 28mm. Ever since owning that 24-70mm my tolerance for image softness has gone way down. Again, it's not softness in out of focus areas -- it's softness exactly where it SHOULD be sharp.

Then again, for the price of a single RF 28mm lens, I could pay off all my weekend dining hall eating for the rest of the quarter.

To be honest I've (still) been feeling brittle and frustrated lately. Like I'm waiting for time to pass. Though, that could be because I'm not actually meeting all my advisors and professors and busting my rear trying to find internship or jobs or work or research.

Where does all my time go? There aren't anymore orientation events. I easily get 2-3 daytime hours to myself. Maybe I'm trying to waste them.

I'm staying in Santa Cruz for the weekend. I'm thinking of getting Sunday breakfast tomorrow but I don't know where exactly to go.
