I just dropped my Summer 2024 semester class for #OMSCS so I can concentrate on the Summer of Protocols grant for adding E2EE to ActivityPub. I'm pretty bummed; this is my second semester in a row that I've had to drop out. But I just can't hold down a day job, work a full-time role on the grant, *and* do graduate school classes. It's just too much.
I sat out Spring 2024 also to finish the ActivityPub book for O'Reilly Media. It's due June 1, so I thought I'd be able to start classes for the summer, but I guess fate got in the way.
I've really loved the classes I've taken at OMSCS, and getting a master's degree in computer science feels really important to me. I don't like that other things are getting in the way, and I'm worried that busy-ness is going to keep me from doing something I really want.
@evan The things getting in the way are pretty cool, though!
