  • Resuming Blogging, Science, Everything

    Today sucks. Everything about today sucks! I'm completely devoid of purpose, and I just spent five hours sitting on a couch in my summer apartment watching anime. This sucks.

    I don't feel like doing anything at all. It all takes too much effort. At the same time, I'm really really bored. My fingernails have been too long for weeks. Long enough to make typing difficult, but it's too much effort to declaw myself.

    I miss school and deadlines and purpose.

    Summer is also the time to take up experiments that I'll likely never finish, and what better time to start than now?

    Therefore, I'm going to blog everyday again to have something to do, and I'll make a great big schedule for tomorrow. It will have all the things I need to do on it. Tomorrow will be a great big purposeful day! And tomorrow night, I'll update with a list of what I actually got done. If there are things I didn't finish, then the first person to call me out on each one will give me the name of their favorite cause, and I will donate $28 to it. That's a perfect number.

    Things to be done tomorrow: email math department, call Mr. Hoffman, call Mr. Sweedo, go through the rest of my unread emails, read and respond to texts, mail things out, go grocery shopping, return library book, read materials for May 30th AoPS class, catch up on Rationalist AI Summer Camp discussion group. Please call me out on any of these that I don't do tomorrow.

    I'm going to write out a schedule and then follow it, just for a day. I think that to be purposeful again, I just have to do something. Anything at all.
