I am so so tired…I have no motivation for school whatsoever π I have 3 more weeks left after this week is over, not including finals week, and I just can’t wait for summer! It was genuinely so hard to get out of bed today, and even now, I can’t stop thinking about everything in the entire world other than my responsibilities. I just sent an extremely long email to a professor at my school last night asking if they could connect me to a sensitivity reader I need, and I’m obsessively checking my inbox to see if they replied, even though I sent it at 9 pm on a Wednesday and it’s now 8 am on Thursday, so there’s no way they’ve even seen it yet. I really need to start making reels to reach more sensitivity readers! I want to make good use of trial reels to get to non-followers, since believe it or not, I’ve never posted one before. Also, it’s safe to say that the Earth Day video will once again be very late, probably not until school is over for me. I have so much footage and so little energy for even the bare minimum – I’m so sorry π But, on the bright side, I’ve been posting a bit more on Instagram recently, ever since my burst of energy during Earth Week! And my grandparents, who are flying all the way from China to visit for the summer, will get off the plane within a few hours. I’m so excited to see them and had to stop myself from constantly texting for updates – not that I’ll actually be able to see them until tomorrow, because I live in a dorm during the week, but just the thought of it is keeping me alive.
