Blogbending

I really should have seen this coming.

I have a pretty good history of running myself into the dirt to finish things. A number of times in my last job I'd work very stressful days for weeks at a time, well past my limit, and crash hard. Not in the cute 'I stayed in bed all day' way, but in the 'my immune system shuts down and become incredibly ill' way. It used to take way longer than normal for my body to catch back up, and the entire time I kicked myself for not being able to do anything. I dislike not being able to do anything.

Despite my insanity with the MA project and massive miles travelled, I've avoided the debilitating illness, for which I'm puzzled and immensely grateful. I've still crashed, though, and true to form it's not going away quickly. Though I've more or less adapted to the local time zone and sleep pattern, I still wake up like I did last Tuesday when I came home: sore and jet-lagged. I've been pitching in around the house but that minor activity exhausts me.

I'm selling a few things on eBay soon, using an exercise we did early in the year to help boost sales. My hope is to earn enough money to get a new phone and to clear a few cobwebs. Can't crash forever, no matter how many games Squaresoft puts out.

I am now Blogworthy

So it's been almost a week since I got back to my motherland. I can just about trust myself around people again, though it seems I've developed a tendency to mutter obscenities of a varied nature. I'm pretty sure it's a tenacious symptom of jet lag combined with coming down from the anxieties of finishing the MA. Everyone that's noticed seems to believe it, so we'll stick with it for now.

I'm watching the Tenacious D movie right now. It's about as mentally challenging as I'm capable of dealing with right now, that is to say I can see this used to pacify three-year-olds and recovering trauma patients. I like their CDs, but their cinematic prowess does not match, I'm sad to say.

The future of this blog has come up as a concern for a few people. First let me say that I'm thrilled and hope more people express interest in my writings in the years to come. Secondly, this being a blog about my adventures in Falmouth, it's not really appropriate for me to keep it going. I'm going to keep it up through graduation in November, and then I'll transfer to an all-new blog. Or maybe change the name of this one, I need to figure out what this set-up can do.

Blog Home AGAAAIN In Indiana!

I'll make this short, as my mind's still kind of wonky. I have arrived back home! I'm happy. Later!
