I was really given like, if you do this, like this is not, we're not doing this.

Like it wasn't anything.

I don't know, like record over the summer.

Like it doesn't make any sense.

It was like that because my music did well, but I had to choose.

So I did, I deferred a year.

Then I went to school for that semester.

One semester went back and forth.

Like I remember being in the airport all the time.

UK to Boston, UK to Boston.

That did not work.

Then I took that semester off and then to complete touring.

And then I just went to school.

Yeah, and this is before, like, you know, virtual classes and things like that.

I think that could have made it a little bit easier.

And on the other hand, I'm glad that, like, once I went to school, you know, once the touring was over and I was there, I was really there.

I really got to, you know, experience the dead of winter in Massachusetts.

What did you study while you were there?

I studied government is what they call it, which is political science.

And I spent a lot of time at the Barker Center.
