>Citizen

Last year my husband & I went to see the refurbished Dutch exhibit at the MFA, and there was a still life of oysters there that was so vivid we left the museum consumed with the need for oysters. It was miserable and sleeting outside and we basically sprinted across the Fens from the museum to Citizen, which was warm and cozy inside and almost empty at 4 pm, and had their 3-oysters-and-a-shot-of-whisky deal - hit the spot perfectly. I haven't been back since then but it's a very fond memory.

If I attend classes in person they give me $3,081 a month to pay for bills

So unfortunately I can’t do WGU. Definitely looked into it tho

It doesn’t have to be Cambridge, I just can’t find schools I can to in person that offer a Cybersecurity program.

There’s one at Wentworth but it’s more like a Comp Sci degree with a shit ton of advanced math that I can’t do lol

Allergies. I’m so ridiculously allergic to most fragrances. Using a triple layer mulberry silk mask with a PM 2.5 filter insert. Sometimes just the silk is enough to keep fragrances out of my nose when outdoors which is great. I keep one in every bag/coat just in case those people with the dryer sheets and a bath of perfume on walks in front of me. And I never caught covid while wearing one, though it did come for me from a family member.

We don’t have to interact, that’s fine. Masks are proven to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID.

A lot of people have long COVID and it’s effecting their quality of life. I’d like to avoid that, and wearing a mask if pretty easy.

There are certain place that are crowded are quite narrow that I prefer to wear one. Safety first!!

Cloth does almost nothing to prevent you from spreading and gives you no protection. If you feel you need one because you are super high risk, you need an n95.

Agreed. Didn't want to inquire on your financial situation, if you were in dire straits - not going and taking a job now may have been a good option. Doesn't sound like the case here.

Could you go anywhere on the GI Bill or are you set on Cambridge College? I ask because Western Governors is supposed to have a pretty good online program and they have ties to incubator programs at various fortune 500 companies.
