alright, back at it again here. i just wanted to take a minute while i have it. i'm at my on campus job, and everyone here is really nice. honestly it's one of the best jobs on campus to have. last week i reintroduced myself with my new re-chosen name (i went by it for a bit in high school, then changed it to something different, and now i'm going back to it and my old they/them pronouns) and my boss offered to send an email to the staff and they've all remembered and started calling me my new name and it's really so sweet. it's so sweet. i appreciate it a lot. i was gonna wait until next semester to really start doing the whole name change thing again but it's been really gratifying to just go ahead and do it. the friends i hang out with all call me my chosen name and it's really, really nice.
