That is to be expected; sometimes we just keep going and we don\u2019t really realize how hard we\u2019re pushing ourselves until we just crash&#8230; and Dork Club was canceled this week due to scheduling mishaps, so there goes my chance to turn my brain off.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I can\u2019t emphasize how important it is to get a chance to relax; I think last week was probably the most energetic I\u2019ve been in a long time, and I did notice that my classwork improved a little with rest. But now&#8230; well, I\u2019ve hit the metaphorical wall. I really just want to go and crash on my bed for a few hours, but I can\u2019t do that because I have responsibilities and stuff to deal with&#8230; meh. I suppose I could keep my eyes closed long enough that it\u2019ll all just go away&#8230; oh wait, that would mean sleeping, and I can\u2019t do that. Well, I can, just&#8230; never mind.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Anyway, I suppose we do need days where we just burn ourselves out, because then we have a chance to build ourselves into something a bit more resilient. That being said, I wouldn\u2019t want to spend all my time getting broken down and then rebuilt, metaphorically or physically (really, there\u2019s sick people out there. That stuff is gross)&#8230; Well, at least I still have my limbs in one piece (and this post is getting pretty morbid all of a sudden&#8230; that\u2019s a problem. Maybe it\u2019s the fatigue).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-417\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/Plan-9.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-417\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/Plan-9-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/Plan-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/Plan-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/Plan-9.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">B-Movie cheese at its finest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And as I said earlier, Dork Club was cancelled. Now I have no way to blow off steam until next week, and even longer if Dork Club is cancelled next week as well&#8230; I\u2019ve always got <em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> to keep me entertained if needed (Yes, I am shamelessly promoting that series, but you all should watch it; it\u2019s awesome)&#8230; and I wanted to watch <em>Plan 9 From Outer Space<\/em> sometime soon (which is awesome in its own way, and by that I mean cheesy B-movie awesome). As long as I can keep up with my work and keep my wits about me, then I can get through this year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I could probably use a hug too. I like hugs.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the week\u2019s almost over and my parents are coming for a visit on Friday, so that will help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of those weeks where I seem more tired than usual.
