(no subject)
I am going to be spending a lot of time working alone on repetitive, tedious tasks, and I only have so much music that works in the situation. I actually only really listen to music under those circumstances and have been doing so for a number of years, so any thing I do have is getting pretty stale. Anybody have good recommendations for music to work to? I mostly like to listen to really loud upbeat music while working, but i get into a sort of quiet folk/blues thing at times too. I'm thinking I might actually (for pretty much the first time ever) want to actually buy music.
I have also been thinking about why I don't take writing in this thing seriously anymore. I guess it must be because most of the people I know don't read it, but maybe it happened the other way around. Also, most of the things i want to write about are depressing and pathetic or they are about how irritating/great my students are. I don't think I'm supposed to write about my students in here, and I would feel bad if all i ever did was complain about being a grad student. More importantly, complaining about being a grad student doesn't help anyway because it is all totally in my power to fix, and it gets pretty boring after a while if i just write about all the things I need to change about myself.
If i were to write about my students, it would just be looking for reassurance that I don't have the characteristics of a member of this millenial generation that feels so entitled to everything in the world. I'm running around with every variety of guilt because nothing i've ever done has even remotely earned the lifestyle I have now. The funny thing is, I am finally at a point where I can earn it and it's got me shitting bricks. Maybe I am a millenial.
well, that was my lunchtime. talk to you later.
