Done With Scheduled Classes
Having finished my presentation in my poli-sci class today and made it back home, I was struck by the realization that I am done with all my regularly scheduled classes for the year; my time will become much more my own. I celebrated by going back to bed.
I'm not sure if I'm sleeping a lot more because of the medication, or because I'm letting myself acknowledge sleepiness and act on it rather than being too anxious over work to be done. I've been chronically short on sleep for months I expect, so maybe the 14 hours I've gotten in the last 24 isn't too out of line. I'll keep an eye on it.
I still need to put together: a presentation for my research design class on Monday; a one-page NSF-style grand proposal for the same class on Friday; and a 5000 word paper on an urban social justice topic of my choosing, also for Monday. I have not started on any of these, though the first two should be quick. Then I just have my poli-sci paper, which the professor graciously let me take an incomplete on due to mental health issues; that's due the 30th.
I'm still ignoring my RA duties right now. I'll have to apologize to my advisor and offer to make it up later. For now, I'm just going to work, sleep, and eat *completely* on own my schedule while I get these things done. When I get tired, I'll stop and sleep. It's amazing how good that feels.
