kinda! the groundhog is supposed to predict the beginning of spring https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day

@commodorecrumpet replied to your post “what’s the significance of Groundhog Day? first day of spring???”

Whether there will be a longer winter or an earlier spring! Basically everyone's usually sick of the cold and looking for some hopeful sign that it will be warm again soon~

I am INSPIRED

I love the Rooster Teeth Podcast, which is like a comedy/talk show format, with topics that range all over. A good one to try might be #381: Pseudo Dicks. They had a biologist come in and answer all their dumb science questions. It's on iTunes but also on Youtube in video form. I'll also second the Welcome to Night Vale recs! And I also listen to Dear Hank and John, which is a Q&A style where they give dubious advice, although it's actually more of a comedy podcast.

I did Biology at ‘O’ Levels and was always fascinated but never wanted to pursue a career in Science so that’ll be cool! And I ask too many dumb science question so that would probably appeal to me hehe! I’ll find out how to get it on my itunes cause i’m actually shit with technology.

Ah, I saw Dear Hank and John on the app I use, and I generally like both the Green Brothers (from their Crash Course stuff?) so I’m hoping this would be good.

Ooh is this your first time playing any ME games? I tried to get into the first one once and didn’t get far but I really want to :( let me know how it goes!

lol same. just spent some time weeping over sad news articles to distract from own deterioration, WOOOOO! Tears are cathartic, no matter the source.

…PAX East! WOOOOOO(thanks @ roofshipping for posting that the

YES YOU SHOULD, I SURE AS HELL WILL

Oh dear, what happened? Although at least now you needn't worry about rushing to pack and rushing through training, so that's a plus, right?

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking too. Got more time to do things now. Talked with someone who went there before (FINALLY found someone) who didn't flake out on meeting with me to talk and they pointed out the rushing was a common tactic to get you to not have time to really.............think. I found out the 5-6 weeks thing normally offered, and not knowing when that will be, is not the way it has to be. So....I'm working along with an experienced dude who has informed me you can find good ones multiple months in advance. SO, going to do that. Way more time to do things. And he told me sites to do research and talk with others. Welp...I wasted some money....but live and learn. I'll just take this as a life lesson. Oh, and more time to train too.
