சேனைகளுடைய கர்த்தரின் நாமத்திலே
Oh look, I found a longer one.
This has been a strange week. Not in the work sense, because that never ends. But in the background, I've been very aware that it's been a year since everything got flipped on its head.
I don't know if you pay attention to the tags on these posts. They are mostly for my reference, but if you ever want to know my thoughts on a particular thing or track the progress of something, they are there on the right for you. Anyway, I started using the "panic at the disco" tag on these posts about a year ago. I thought it would be a fun cutesy thing to look back on and know that these were the few weeks or months when that weird pandemic thing was happening. And then it stopped being fun and cutesy and took on new meaning when my anxiety reared its ugly head in new and interesting ways. (If you're wondering what a disco has to do with anything: nothing; it's a band; don't worry about it.)
I don't think I can sum up the last year in a few words and tie it off with a nice bow. No one expected any of this. I certainly haven't handled it as well as I could have. But it's also been a learning experience. Some things I would have preferred not having to learn. I think that's true of everyone. But I'm very aware that I've had it much better than most people over the last year. So I am by no means complaining. Inevitably, it will take years to fully comprehend the impact of this past year (and however long it takes to get back to some semblance of 'normal').
As far as work goes, I finished one more group of Tamil (see above) and fixed some things in Indonesian. We've been restructuring the bootcamp again since we have a smaller group this time around. That is taking some creativity.
Mostly, though, I've just been tired this week. I'm tired of masks, I'm tired of endless political debates, I'm tired of being tired. So I'm going to give myself a break and come back refreshed next week.
Bye!
