mmmm i will be forever changing never static all at once multi dimensional and many i refuse to be labeled and let myself settle as one thing. i can exist as many at once

#gentlechaotic #idk man just fuck labels #what's your aesthetic? your mbti? zodiac? queer label? style inspo? side of internet? ennegram? #nothing! i refuse! i exist beyond labels! i will wear contradictory clothing & do contradictory things and live my life beyond arbituary #measures #and also fuck identity through consumerism #i am tired #tired of so much

gentle reminder to reach out to your teachers. escpecially if they've encouraged it. you don't have to go in depth on to why you have stacks of missing work why you have no energy for their class. you can try asking for an extension and just say "i've been unable to complete this work (optional: for personal reasons). can i turn it in/do it later".

it can be scary. scary to reach out for help, to admit you're stuggling. scared for their response. scared what is too much or not enough of a reason. scared of what to say in that email.

but you can do it.

template that worked for me (you can obviously modify if you need/want to):

"hi [teacher],

i was wondering if i could take the [quiz/exam] turn in [assignment]at [later date]. i was/have been [unable to study (for personal reasons)] [unable to complete the assignment (on time) (for personal reasons)] [or other reason you want to go more in depth]. (*i feel unprepared to take it today*).

thank you,

[your name]"

(parentheses are optional. you might want to add personal reasons on assignments if you want to explicity say it's because of reasons other than lack of understanding course material)

*if for quiz or exam, optional

you don't need to tell them that you've been struggling to get out of bed or you're having panic attacks every day or whatever the reason.

you can do it.

best of luck.

there’s nothing quite like watching an attempted coup in real time on national tv and then waking up the next day, making breakfast, and then signing into your 9am theology class that’s online because of a global pandemic

i cleaned off my desk and a small area around it which is very very good. hopefully that means this coming semester (and winter break as i do catch-up) is easier for me to focus. fingers crossed i can keep it clean !

december 3rd

i was distracted in all my classes. oops

i exercised for 30 minutes while listening to an audiobook. very happy about that

cleared a small patch on my desk, made a cup of tea and took chemistry notes !!!

i did some yoga with adriene then did some chemistry practice

got started on a project about mental health and climate change (while listening to misterwives of course)

got a book i need for a paper!

okay i'm probably going to watch some thing and then read a bit of gatsby for school before going to bed.

i did an hour and half of homework! compared to the past few weeks that's a ton. compared to pre pandemic bean who was doing 4+ hours daily, not a ton. but hey, i got stuff done so yay me !

a pretty good day actually, celebrating the little wins and looking forward to tomorrow ! 👩🏻‍🌾

when a mental health professional realizes you may not be struggling with "just" generalized anxiety and major depression, that there may be something else and they're willing to explore that with you >>>>

today i...

did two chemistry assignments that were due tonight! they were super easy “start of the semester” ones but i did them

exercised quite a bit - biked 9 miles in a little over 30 minutes

cried because it’s too late to register for something i really should have registered for

put off writing an email to the registrar about my classes this semester but then just wrote it and sent it (like right now right now as I was in the middle of typing this)

now i think i might try to fold my laundry before going to bed but i’m fucking exhausted so i might not. Oh well
