Now that I've gone through all of my commissions, I'm taking the week off from streaming so I can spend more time focusing on schoolwork. You might have noticed how my journals have gotten very terse lately, with me giving the bare minimum info every night.

It seems like every day most of my time is spent focusing hard on something, whether it's a book or a TV show or music or a computer program or a class schedule or homework. Everything has to be studied and remembered and reacted to; there's no more coasting and just living in the moment. As much as I don't want that, though... I also do want it. The short-term gain of tuning out and relaxing ("recharging") leads to long-term struggles to get back to schoolwork and studying. In the middle of a semester, no less, when I'm not even ahead of the curve.

That's enough of a ramble for now, I have to get some dinner. I spent too many 10-minute breaks already just collecting my thoughts for those two paragraphs above. So much I'd love to write and discover in myself, so little time.

TL;DR: I'll be back next week.
