Seeing Stars
I finally finished up my third semester of grad school yesterday, but it was a rough ending.
Sunday, I pulled my first legit all-nighter, finishing my paper at 5 am, then needing to format all the references until 8:30 with just enough time for a quick shower before I went down to campus to hand it in at 10. It was not pretty.
I probably couldn’t have made it through that last push without blasting Coheed through headphones. I ended up listening to their Neverender 4-disc live album from front to back.
So now what? It’s silly how wrapped up I always get in work, to the point where I ultimately have no concept of why I’m doing it. Just get it done. It ends up being a checkmark off the bucket list. This time I around, I especially feel an uncomfortable numbness as opposed to relief.
I’m heading home to Ottawa for the holidays. Perhaps I will figure it out.
