Feb. 19th, 2003 10:58 amIt's funny how much my evaluation of my days vacillate. "good", "bad", "amusing"....
But today, I woke up, tried to do my Ling hw, dozed off, then woke up to go to Bio... And it suddenly hit me:
I'm in a slump. From the POV of the entire quarter, I'm in a slump.
Physically: I've discovered that I require 8 full hours of sleep to avoid dozing in class and in other situations. It's winter. Hibernation is kicking in. I feel bad about not using my meal points, but the only thing I end up eating in the dining hall is rice, tomatoes, and soup. I can't get up the physical energy to do anything except sleep.
Mentally: I don't care about academics anymore. I spent most of last night talking w/ various people. (which was fun). But it doesn't even help for me to declare myself hermit and try to catch up all my work, because I'd just end up reading comics or sleeping. It's harder and harder to concentrate on things I don't really care about. It's like Senioritus, but worse.
Academically: I gave up on my Languages of the World reading. So I have about 4 hours of catching up to do. Bio... 2 hours for 1 chapter. Art History: I have given up almost completely. We're in the Song Dynasty, and reading-wise, I'm still in the Sui. (2 chapters behind). Hum and Soc are okay, but I've got 2 papers and a lab due next week that I haven't even started on. (I tried to start Hum last night, but it just didn't work out). I basically wasted yesterday. Which even affected this morning. This is seventh week. Class ends in 3 weeks. I have 2 papers and a lab due 8th week, and 2 papers and a language presentation due 10th week. (Not counting the ArtH one that's due 8th week). Academic-wise, this quarter hasn't even started. And I'm in a slump. Where I've ceased to care. And 8th week is also when we pick classes for next quarter.
A la Nicky: "Bad Air! Bad Air!"
I wish it would snow. That would boost my spirits. Maybe eating food (ice cream) would help as well.
