Leopoldstadt Forever

Big news, I’m alive and blogging. I thought I had this working and blogging thing worked out, but I didn’t. Midterms through me off. Today I gave a makeup midterm so didn’t have time to write. It’s now 7:04 and I’m not exhausted, and I already watched Last Week Tonight so I will write. I […]

My procrastination is getting worse, not better. I haven’t written in days. I spent yesterday’s therapy session on this, and it didn’t help. I wrote that sentence then spent 30 minutes on Facebook. This is getting worse. I’m going to procrastinate again, but this time with a purpose. I’ll be back after I meditate. I […]
