im so excite for tuesday bc in mechanics we start welding and thaT'S SO COOL AJDHFHAHDHF

one problem: i am...small

the leather gloves the teacher has are very, very large, and i have tiny doll hands, rip?? all the equipment is man sized and whew boy im kinda petite

im painfully aware that im the token estrogen in the classroom and its very weird bc im super into the content and im hyped to learn all this stuff but none of the stuff is my sizeeeee

but stick welding seems pretty good? like, im pretty dexterous with a tablet pen so im hoping its around the same feel. its like. ur holding your pen with a clamp and frying your tablet with a crapton of volts and molten metal and flux. and youre wearing a helmet bc it would burn out your eyeballs. like drawing, but with electricity

also ive decided a new course of study: industrial maintenance. it seems cool and gets pretty good money.

rn im getting into a "MAKING STUFFFFFF" kick and i wanna try sewing again...or maybe creating those cool art dolls. idk. i wanna craft.
