march 15 /24
So, everything came crashing down on me a couple days ago. I wrote my midterm and realized later that I made a bunch of silly mistakes on it, probably costing me a good grade. Between that and grad school pressures of not knowing if I’ve been admitted or not really bore down on me. Then I had an incident at work that caused me to break down even further, so I’m happy that I have the weekend off. It’s been brutal, I had a breakdown in the snow (way more calming than whatever you pictured) and I’ve just been taking the next few days to really settle into the things I love, like reading and sobbing (complimentary) over my current ace attorney case. just know if you’re going through a hard time rn that there are always, always people and places and hobbies that can help to pick you back up. Always. Never give up, keep fighting. And if you fall, take a moment and then come back swinging!

today was significantly less productive than i wanted it to be! i had a morning full of doctors appointments and spent the rest of the day (nearly 7 hours!!) in bed with a debilitating migraine. i didn’t do a single piece of schoolwork, but i did get some reading done :3
the weather was gorgeous though! it was in the mid sixties today and i got to spend a lot of time outside before i started feeling unwell. being chronically ill as a student is rough, but i’m trying to remain positive and focus on the good!
A successful career needs a secret potion.
