I’m 11 pages into a 25-page paper and my brain has officially shut down. It’s not due for another few weeks, which is nice, but I was really hoping to spend today knocking it out of the ballpark. Instead, I wrote for a few hours this morning, ate too much for lunch, slept for several hours this afternoon, and kicked off the evening by knocking marinara sauce all over the beige carpet. So it hasn’t really been a good day, and now my brain won’t think anymore. Rather than force myself to write something sucky that I’ll only end up revising anyway, I decided to set up camp on the couch and watch some TV … but the catch is that I feel guilty and stressed out because I’m not doing homework or writing this paper.

Graduate school is hard, y’all.
