@atonalist @ianmunrobot @PopeSuburbanII python > R , just because it's more general purpose. You'll find more stuff outside it (like abjad for scores! or general purpose scripting to call out from another program, or automate your life

@aksocolofsky they also often become the "rank and file" administrators, the admins students see and interact with (like A.D. of Grad Students in dept) And they reach more individuals than the other areas (due to the courses). The pay is diff is also horrid. Paid far less than "famous applied"

finally, treat everyone with love and empathy. The process is going to be hard and terrible. Not everyone will be as desensitized as I am (or in therapy like I am). It's gonna be...wild.

3. don't even get a storage unit. just don't. force yourself to throw it away and save "only what is important."
4. give yourself a huge amount of time. if you're like me, and live far away, that's...gonna suck.
5. HYDRATE
6. go full hazmat. for your health
