It's my first funk of the new semester. Surprising? No. Inevitable? Yes. Annoying? Very.
It started with the realization that I'm kind of bored out of my mind right now. I just came off of a SUPER exciting and fast paced summer, and now I'm back into 3 hours a day, not much going on mode. And with this being my last semester + taking filler classes, I have little to no homework to speak of. So yeah, I'm pretty bored. Sure, I've been doing my best to keep busy - dinner with friends, catching up on TV shows I previously had no time to watch, the usual things people do when they have down time. The problem is, I have SO MUCH down time that I'm running out of things to do and it's driving me insane.
The funk was continued when I decided to absolutely 100% pursue my idea of writing an honors thesis this semester in order to A) have something to keep me crazy busy and B) graduate with honors. When I went to talk to my advisor about this, I was informed that I don't "qualify" to write one because my GPA is .2 lower than the requirement. I'm just a little confused as to why I'm paying thousands of dollars a year to be told I'm not qualified to write a paper (silly me for actually WANTING to write a 60 page paper for fun). Anyways, I'm not going to dwell on it because it's not something I can change, as frustrating and annoying as it is.
On top of that I've sat down to blog 3 different times this week and couldn't finish. Writing is one of the few things that has the constant ability to bring me OUT of a slump, and here I am, knee deep in it. I have 3 unfinished drafts and nothing to say. I don't know what the problem is, but I have a feeling it's just the same problem I usually have after any sort of excitement. The thing I like to call THE ANTI-CLIMAX. And it. is. a. bitch.
So I'm looking into possibly getting another internship this semester or volunteering somewhere so I can actually feel like I'm doing something important with my life. Other things I would like to do? Start running again, read more, do yoga, learn how to cook, and search for potential jobs in multiple places for after I graduate.
I feel like this post was pointless. Again, slumping and funking (read it right, people).
