Fall ’22, Day 107
I have two more finals to go. Ugh, I’m so ready to be done.
Fall ’22, Day 106
Would you be the warm friend on a rainy evening?
Would you hold my faint words and watch me build castles?
Would you?
Until the last word swims and sculpts and I breathe in.
Until I learn to speak.
Fall ’22, Day 105
Y’all, today I got a 32” monitor and it has changed my life forever. I started watching Pixar’s “UP” and I felt like I was watching it for the first time. The colors are so good. Every scene I couldn’t stop myself from being like, “the colors!!!1”
Fall ’22, Day 104
I haven’t officially started the experiment yet, but I did try to read and scroll less today, and I feel like I stayed focused much better. I’m so tired.
Fall ’22, Day 103
Sometimes I wonder if I consume too much media. I read countless articles each day, look at so many memes, and scroll through so much art. I wonder if I’m not giving myself enough time to process or enough time to just be. I wonder if my brain never switches into thinking mode because I’m…
Fall ’22, Day 102
Done with that exam! Only a few more to go!
Fall ’22, Day 101
I have a programming exam tomorrow morning and I think I’m ready. I’ve spent what feels like a lifetime preparing for it.
Fall ’22, Day 100
Today I literally ran to one of my classes and it was canceled. I guess I wasn’t expecting the last class to be canceled. At least the semester is almost over. Does fall end with it?
Fall ’22, Day 99
My post on Tumblr got 55 notes. That’s the most I’ve ever gotten on any social media platform. Feels significant.
Fall ’22, Day 98
Today I learned that “relative sentence length” is part of prose rhythm. It’s a very complex topic and I want to spend some time researching it.
Fall ’22, Day 97
A random thought on writing: I feel like relative sentence length is important. It’s jarring if they change length abruptly. Gradually shorter is the way to go. So that the action goes faster. And slightly faster. Quick. Like this. Then take your time. Stretch them out with care. Slowing the pace back to where it…
Fall ’22, Day 96
Can you believe that it’s been a year since I started playing Getting Over It? Today I rediscovered “I’ll Go” by Direct and Park Avenue. I spent so many hours listening to it while playing Getting Over It that now it fills me with determination.
Fall ’22, Day 95
Y’all, I’ve started learning Esperanto. Maybe Zamenhof was right. He said his goal was to “render the study of the language so easy as to make its acquisition mere play to the learner.” I zoomed through the first unit on Duolingo and I’m expecting the difficulty curve to rise, but right now it’s super easy.
Fall ’22, Day 94
Happy thanksgiving everyone! I hope you had a great day. I know I did.
Fall ’22, Day 93
It’s so quiet right now. I couldn’t tell if my headphones had noise cancellation on. I don’t realize how loud everything is normally.
Fall ’22, Day 92
You know what’s true? I’m not totally invisible. Sometimes I feel invisible, but there are lots of people who see me. I am not a waste of space. I am more valuable than I know. There are many people who love me. I have friends. I know I want to see changes in my life…
Fall ’22, Day 91
I guess fall is ending soon. What’s next, Winter ’22/’23? I’ve been trying to make friends for the last 6 months and and and. Where is my community? I feel like a ghost. I am a ghost. I float over the fall leaves, not a crunch beneath my feet. The lights don’t blink when I…
