“Overwhelmed” by Royal & The Serpent pretty much bescribes how I feel. Behund, stuck, left out. Even though I’m better off than a lot of my peers. Comparing myself to others never was a problem for me, but it won’t bail me out of this emotional rut either. Most of my plans crumbled under the weight of burnout and unexpected work tasks. Maybe I’ll be able to figure this out and het everything together, fix my life. Maybe not, we’ll see.
Oh well, the usual. I made some plans for the summer, that didnt really work out. In part because some extra work was required in lab, in part because I’m young and have no idea what am I doing and where life is headed. I decided to take a whole week off, away from my computers and even laptop. Maybe it’ll help me to calm down and see the forest behind the trees.

Well, that sounds like botched vacation plans and some anxiety mixed together. Either way, not good. Take rest and take care of yourself. Getting a burnout as a student is not exactly a good start. There’s one thing I always tell myself in rainy days: whatever this is, I know perfectly well, the sun will shine on my head again soon. It always does. Eventually.
Thank you for your support and for a new word (to botch). It does shine, indeed, if you survive long enough.
I have just sent the last piece of code and plan on writing and playing guitar for the rest of the day, with maybe an occasional walk around the place.
@academicalnerd What’s going on? Sounds rather negative there…
