graveexcitementi'm getting vaccinated on thursday via my university!! :D
of course it's only now that i look at my dw feed and see someone mention side effects that i start wondering if maybe i should have scheduled for friday instead, in case i do experience side effects. but i also hear that the side effects are likely to be minor or nonexistent for the first dose, so hopefully it will be fine. (my schedule's a lot freer on thursdays anyhow.)
of my immediate family, only my dad has been vaccinated so far (he's gotten both doses.) my mom has been trying to get an appointment for a few weeks, but no luck. my younger siblings are only eligible as of today (all texans 16 or older are now eligible, though that doesn't mean it'll be easy for everyone to actually get appointments.) in my non-immediate family, both of my grandmas and my aunt have been vaccinated. not sure about my uncle and cousins. it would be perfect if we could all get vaccinated by summer because maybe i could actually see my cousins in person. (we've been doing online board game nights since ~January, which is fun! but would love to hang out irl.)
the speculation from my japanese professor is that classes will be back in person (with masks) in the fall, which is a relief. summer seems like it'll still be online, and honestly i'm probably going to just not take any classes this summer. i already kind of wanted a break and i would love for this to be my last semester of online classes.
