I'm trying-ish to make myself finish a paper for one professor and take an incomplete in the class I have done nothing for all semester (can that stop being one of my lesser --much, much lesser-- recurring nightmares now that I've done it?) in order to salvage some small shred of dignity as I begin my 'year off' from grad school. How...incredibly depressing this is is at least backing my decision to go with the 'year off.'
Went to campus mental health a couple times just to help make myself stop panicking/wallowing completely in despair and guilt.
Doing okay now, interrupted my staring ineffectually at overdue unused library books to go see Iron Man: Awesome!
Heck, even my parents loved it, and my dad's certain that he'd 'already stopped reading Iron Man by the time Vietnam became a thing' (Daddy also thinks that Wonder Woman was an Avenger and that Ant-man was bitten by a radioactive ant.)
Why is it that nearly every song in the world seems to be in one internet video or another except one I desperately want easy access to? I'm going to have to look for old Glenn Miller albums at record stores until I find one that has 'Faithful Forever' on it.
