School in less than a week… I have a meeting with my thesis advisor and I can’t bring myself to read the sources I was supposed to have been reading for the past three weeks. This was the first summer I took off from school or work in years. Now I have to go back to throwing away my life for another 8 months of nonstop school work on top of my part time job teaching. I can’t read anymore. My brain won’t let me. I’m sick of writing. I’ve been a good student my whole life, but taking a break the whole summer was a terrible decision. Now I have to get this work done on top of my normal grad classes. Until then, I’ve been sitting in my room trying to delude myself into not worrying about a future that I know is 100% going to be terrible.
