Lazy Day
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if taking a day off of everything is productive or not.
Today was supposed to be that day for me. I just can't help but feel like taking a day to relax is counterintuitive. The longer I sit in my bed and do nothing the more I worry about the activities that I could be getting ahead on.
I have loads of neuroscience and biology studying to be completed. If I finish my flashcards today, then I can do next week's lecture notes on time.
In the same breath, I'm so worked up about this stuff that I can't help but be distracted by everything around me when I do it, and that's no help either.
Tonight I have a networking event that I don't feel like going to. I'm sure that when I get there I will feel good about it, but for now I can't even bring myself to visit the campus cafeteria.
I've had rice cakes and cottage cheese, but what I really want is a sandwich.
I've also spent about an hour thinking about doing my nails, but I can't because I only did this fresh set a week ago and it would be a waste to do them again.
Anyway, I submitted a written piece to a magazine. I'm doubtful that it will get picked up for publication, but regardless, I'm proud of myself for doing some creative writing again.
