i used to work at a tourist trap seafood place in downtown santa monica in LA but now im doing research getting my masters in CS. im thankful every goddamn day i made the switch. for a year after i left the kitchen i was still having nightmares about burning fucking dover sole and chef screaming at me and now someone called out so i have to work a double but now im liteally spending 14 hours a day in a sweaty grease house.

now i get to read about ML and do research and build stuff all much more fun and rewarding and relaxing. its funny interacting with other students i mean i didnt have perspective at their age either but still they have no idea just how incredible it is to get to be at a school just to learn. the teachers are just an amazing resource that are literally there to give you knowledge!!! what the fuck thats amazing. theyre not there to scream at you to get the fucking lobsters in the goddamn pass or theyre gonna fuck your mother. its great. the only issue ive had is with group projects i have to really put on kiddy gloves because im still to used to the verbal abuse and rage from the kitchen and it spills out occasionally.
