7.420.

I’m at the end of my semester and I am supposed to be feeling elated. Instead I just feel worn out and frazzled and rushed to get to the end and make sure everything works out and gets graded. I suppose it has a bit to do with a novel manuscript being due in 7 days. The entire situation feels like I’m carrying a lot of weight on my shoulders and don’t feel competent enough to get to the end of the set.

Stress is a huge part of my life. I feel like the more stressed I get, the less organized and more narrowly focused i get, allowing things in my life to fall by the wayside. It causes me to slough off a lot of the responsibilities I ought to be focused on, and that too is a difficult truth to endure. I need to be more focused and organized and have a better schedule and do what I am supposed to as opposed to letting it build up in order to be less stressed and have a better life.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Man, I wish this had hit on 4/20. That would’ve been smooth. Even as a non-smoker that would’ve been smooth
  2. Waiting excitedly to see how the portal pans out for Colorado football. That alone means Sanders already won. He has built a new fan base atop the existing base. He injected money and life into a listless power 5 program that hasn’t really been good since Kordell Stewart. Haters can say all they want, but the growth is enormous.
  3. A body in motion tends to stay in motion… until you come back to hot ass AZ. Then you go immediately into rest mode.
