One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

i'm asterion (a student) caught in the frigid clutches of a maiden named labyrinth (college campus) who perplexes me daily (i can't find my class). all while a man, though many call him hero, named theseus (marked attendance) chases me simply for being lost and alive !

the professor asked us to turn in our work in person, as opposed to online, but like... the location he described as to where to turn it in is literally just a random ass office. which is completely different from how he described where to turn it in. this is so--(＃￣З￣)

trying to make sense of (chinese poet) li bai's life, specifically during his stay at the hanlinyuan 翰林院 "hanlin academy," has made me run circles and gifted me a headache. someone please sedate me

#ꗃ ׄ ִ play your records #the hanlin academy was inside of the imperial palace at chang’an #which would imply the emperor at the time (emperor xuanzong of tang) trusted the ppl there #yet historical accounts vary so much on emperor xuanzong's view on li bai and even li bai's attitude towards his position #i am going to sleep... i started at eight pm and it is currently three am

the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.

🗒 second day of productivity:

31 jan 2024 | wednesday

↳ entry;

i got such a low score on my pre-calculus test--but to be honest, i thought i was going to get a zero. at least a forty percent is better. not the best, obviously. ah. i think what i have realized is math will always have to be a subject i study on the daily. today, i studied from eight pm to almost 12 am.

hopefully, i can raise my overall grade to a c or b percentage. i still have a month and a few weeks of march left of the quarter. i can do this!

also, i was surprised my peer in intro to lit, on tuesday, remembered my pencil i let them borrow last week's thursday. it was such a pleasant surprise (⌒‐⌒)

to-do list:

pre-calculus :

✓ assignment: homework problems, chap. vii section i-v

✓ review: quiz on chap. vii section i-v

✐ᝰ.ᐟ what is something you want to learn more about?

personally, i want to learn more mathematics. i know it seems strange--considering my current grade and my constant bitching （─.─|| . but, truthfully, i do wish i was better at math. i want to be better. it would be that or understanding the composition of poetry clearer (i.e. rhymes, meter, enjambment, etc.)
