January 17: Schoolwork Day
Jan. 17th, 2026 10:12 pmI feel like I have been totally drained of all energy, perhaps by some sort of vampiric entity. Like a salt monster. Or grad school. I’m so tired.
I ended up doing… a lot of work? Not all of it, and of course it took longer than I wanted it to and I am full of uncertainty about my ultimate work product. But like… I don’t know what to write instead of what I wrote. I also started on my next project, which isn’t actually due for a while but I want to do it while I have the time. Especially since it’s a presentation and I’m somewhat worried about it. I still have a ton left on it but I see the contours of what I’m doing, which is good. After that, I have my paper for my other class (not actually due until early February so if I do any of it this weekend, it will be very, very ahead) and then various readings. Readings can be time consuming but I’m nowhere near as worried about them.
Also, I did not actually start working until early afternoon. Because I was so fucking tired and inhuman-feeling. I should probably go to sleep soon to avoid a repeat of this tomorrow. Plus I have chores and shit. I’ve told myself if I accomplish enough of my schoolwork this weekend, I can write, but only then.
I did wring my 300 words out of myself, which I am very proud of myself for because I really do feel flat like a pancake. Mentally speaking.
Anyway, this is very boring vague blogging about my school work but I am very no-thoughts, head-empty. Someday creative writing will come back from war.
