6.849. Reflections on a Sunday Night

The blog is horribly out of whack in terms of what posts happen on what days. I’ll strive to get it back on track this week. I’d intended to climb back into the writing saddle this week as well, but my headspace suggests this will not be possible. Never say never. I’ll just say not now. For now I’m still grasping at the low hanging fruit of Elden Ring and trying to get my classes closed out for the semester. I have a handful of courses finishing up projects and once done I will have weeks off. My partner is about done, which is a double edged sword in a sense. It means I’ll be able to see her more but it also means I’ll be less focused and have less alone time in regards to the work being done. Balance is a precious and unusually rare thing and I fail to locate it constantly.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Dark blogs lately. I hope to be around to look back on this years later and be like, wow, I was in a bad place.
  2. Yeah, that was pretty dark too…
  3. I’m giving a talk this upcoming week and I haven’t exactly planned what to say for the 75 minute span of time. I honestly don’t have 75 minutes worth of talk in me. Hopefully Q&A brings out the gold.
  4. My kid collected the bronze this weekend in the 110. Good for him.
  5. I am fighting to keep him in his school in spite of the drama surrounding his football program and the violence he’s dealt with. The truth of the matter is, he can grow from this. My fear is he will do what I did and go to where the grass seems greener. It wasn’t. I found my life there, but I wrecked my career entirely.
