I should stop any of the scrolling activity. I feel like I was doing injustice to my students because I can’t spend all my time preparing for lectures. I want them to get something out of this ev...

So a little change of plan, because I cannot just keep spending so little time on actually preparing lectures. So here goes: -15 minutes lecture slides -15 minutes lecture notes -7 minutes emaili...

So lazy, so tired. Must get up still. 8:18 am make bed. DONE. I should clean and cook on Saturday rather than Sunday. Alright, please just get to work, please. I have lectures and grading to do...

Okay, yesterday was long. I don’t have enough time to do all that I have an obligation to do. It is so sad. Early morning, not prepared for lecture yet. I’m so dead already, I have to do somethin...

Should have been at court today but instead I was in class. Really fun class today. I have prepared very carefully. Okay, keep going with the productivity: -10 minutes essay prompts -10 minutes l...

Now is the time for working. I should know that. I should make little progresses. I must prepare for lectures so I don’t just scramble to finish them RIGHT BEFORE CLASSES like that. It’s not fair...

I cannot go on. I’m just in so much despair. I’m just so stressed out. I’m just so depressed. I don’t want to do anything. Spare me any lecture. Why does it have to be so much work? Why does it h...

First day was fine. The students were polite. Those who knew me before I began teaching weren’t awkward seeing me AT ALL. Weird. I really hope I don’t disappoint. I know it doesn’t count much for...

-Get up early, exercise, shower. Tomorrow morning I will come early to the library: -Print out my class list. -Check to see if my classroom is open. -Remember to bring a water bottle into the cla...

I feel like I’m having an anxiety attack. I’m just so, so nervous. Two more days. What if things don’t go well? What if I’m late and technology breaks down and I don’t know what to do? What if I ...

How will I even know that I will like law better? Oh my life, oh dear me. 1:31 am and I can’t sleep without writing this down first. I think the point of Gorgias is for Socrates to point out ho...

August 14, 2019

Okay, I’m going to finish a translation project this morning. No other option. 8:32 am start 9:52 am finished. Well this is pretty anti-climax. I have FOOD, yet am too lazy to EAT it. Can’t under...

I think Operation Bed by 10 has worked! I’ve been up for more than an hour though… Geez. OK, 6:16 am wash face and then change to work out clothes. 6:28 am I’m staggering. 1 French lesson. 7:1...

6:43 pm Pomodoro and cooking! Let’s do this! It was okay. Cooking and cleaning wasn’t at all bad, but I was watching too much YouTube. I need to resist this. Operation Bed by 10 needs to be launc...

I was out for 7 hours with some girls yesterday. I’m not really sure which crowd I click with, really. 9:35 am have breakfast. Here’s the pomodoro plan: -25 minutes preparing lectures day by day....

The day is counting and the clock is ticking. The inevitable is going to come. But I should remember what a nervous wreck I was when I started working in the Admission Office at my college, and I...

August 7, 2019

If I want it, I should go ahead and work for it. I’m talking about law school application. That gate is too loud and the ceiling too thin and the AC makes a ton of noise. Think I’ll bring this u...

August 8, 2019

Going to bed at 2:30 am might not be the greatest life decision. It’s 10:22 am now! I need to change. Where is my operation Bed by Ten? I think it’s unrealistic anyway because my roommate will be...

Cannot fall asleep for some reason. I searched my memories but no I didn’t drink any coffee or tea today. Last two times I did and I couldn’t sleep at night were both with Emma. Funny. I need to ...

I did have more than 8 hours of sleep. Hence, no reason to not be productive. I definitely need to wake up at 6am in order to have time to exercise. No doubt about that. During the school year, ...

Look at how much time flies! It’s August already. Soon I’ll start my first day of teaching and I’m so so so so not ready. I’m just not good at public speaking. My conference went as expected. Wh...

Time is just not on my side… Well, that isn’t a very nice thing to say. I just don’t count for the times when time IS on my side. Like when I ran into someone in the gym whom I’d rather not see, ...

I need to stop submitting abstracts for papers that I haven’t written. If it’s a good conference, it’s a sure rejection for me (at this point in my career). If it’s not a good conference, … well ...

Good old Prosebox. Here we go again. Another day. Let me give up any attachment to results and just do things. I have to finish this paper but I just cannot do this. How do I know, since I absolu...
