i intentionally skipped the kgb underground tour yesterday. it's striking how little pull i feel anymore to undergraduate life, as though i'm already a year or more grown out of it; striking how much more clearly i enjoy sitting around in the 412 lab playing chess and grading and working. even though i feel socially stable now, it still doesn't

I had a similar experience with grad school at CMU. I think that as a senior I emotionally distanced myself and graduated. The organizations I had been a part of were undergrad organizations, I had grown in them, loved them, and led some of them... but coming back when I was out of the normal context felt a bit odd.

yeah... it's taken me especially by surprise because so little has changed in terms of where i hang out to get work done, my social circles, ...

it may just be my heightened awareness of what types of activity/socialisation are actually good for me.
