Maybe I’m being overly sensitive this morning, but that was definitely not the best way to start off my day. Just another thing to stress me out and distract me.

I keep finding random gold hairs. This is either a sign that the chemicals in hair dye are really bad (because the one and only time I’ve ever dyed my hair was freshmen year of HIGH SCHOOL) or that my body is weird and produces gold rather than gray hairs. Idk. Silly/random thoughts on hump/leap day. :)
Three full pages of writing on the first night that I actually attempt real paper writing. Not bad, if I do say so myself. 7 more pages to go, plus 4+ resources, and 1+ close reading from Black Like Me. I think I got this. The question right now is whether to call it a night so I can wake up and resume a few more hours of paper writing before work, or to keep trudging on…my eyeballs do feel...
I just wanted a busy, satisfying last semester…to be stressed about school and projects, but not by all of these non-school related dramas. As much as I might lament that my life is so boring, that’s really all I want. To live a boring life free of anxiety attacks and stress. Is that so much to ask for?

We have a writing workshop in class tomorrow and I’m not sure I can produce anything resembling a paper right now. My goal for tonight is to at least read through the articles I found for the paper. Real writing to resume tomorrow. The next three days are...

I’m still not used to the cold Berkeley weather. Thank goodness for fuzzy socks and an extra thick Asian blanket.
When you’re writing an English paper, and a concept from another class seems relevant, but too random to insert fluidly into your argument. How do I connect mid-19th century urban texts as voyeuristic literature to Griffin’s Black Like Me as racial tourism without sounding like I’m forcing two different thoughts together? I really want to get at least two pages done tonight, but...
