RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Finally started graduate school and seems pretty okay so far. Haven't been able to connect much to my cohort, but a bit closer with my actual area. I'm not too down about that given I'm trying to treat this as a job than as school, and have always been shy and anxious (though not so much anymore). It'll just be something that comes naturally over time I hope as my nerves settle down a bit and Im able to meet more people in the department and in my classes.
Trying to learn Python then leapfrog from that to do more advanced analyses with AI. Good and bad, good as it seems to give me a bit of an edge on my cohort (not to validate my worth on my status to others) but bad as I didn't really expect to be doing this so early and no one has any real resources to learn. So it's up to myself to figure it out.
