I have a bit of pent-up rage. At IIT. And the people at IIT. And at myself, for deciding to do math and for deciding to go here.

Here’s the thing.

Mathematicians are, seemingly by definition, elitist and impractical. And have really strange senses of humor. And get really obsessed about things that have no real-world application. WhatthefuckamIdoinghere?

Or maybe it’s just the people at IIT in general. People who seem smart because they’re nerdy but are really just obnoxious and unintelligent. And easily amused.

I’m probably being too harsh right now, actually I’m rather sure of it, but I still just feel really… purposeless?

What the fuck am I even going to do with a math degree?

Anyway. Here’s a taste of my angst, in the form of strange and experimental cello improv. It’s about 9 minutes long.
