I have a lot of work to do. I have a sociology mid-terms coming up two weeks from now and I don't really know how to study for it, my Japanese studies group paper proposal needs a lot of work on it, I have readings to do, I’m applying for a thing and I am stressed.
So I’m going to handle it the only way I know how to - by writing.
I admit that one of the reasons why I get stressed so easily is because I don’t tell people that I am (my mom calls me ‘stoic’, I personally go with ‘bitches get shit done’) - I’m quite emotionally stunted, in some ways. Even typing this out feels self-indulgent and makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. I mean, who wants to read my shit anyway? I wouldn’t want to read my crap either.
But I think stopping to write and think about things is important. That was the basis on which I decided on going to FASS, anyway - I didn’t just want to be doing things for the sake of doing them, I wanted to know why.
However, stop for too long and then it gets difficult to start going again. (For all you physics students playing along at home, this concept is known as inertia.) I’ve spent the past few days being extremely unproductive during a period that I know that I cannot afford to be, but yet I’m still doing it, and it’s so frustrating.
You have things to do, self. Why can’t you just do them?
