Hey Mom!

Hey Mom! So this week everything went off the rails... my room is a disaster, my backpack is a disaster, the counter is a disaster, the floor is a disaster, my notes are a disaster,  and my desktop is a disaster. This is just what you can see from the door way but it's pretty much a minefield. What you can't see is the pound of crumbs that cushions all my books with greasy tenderness Please note to 2 dozen minimized windows. Basically I'm like a slug except I leave disaster in my wake instead of slime (although I've been sick all week so that's not untrue either). Now, I know what you're thinking: Mack, how can you live like this?  Well, sometimes I walk around with my eyes closed so I don't have to deal with egregious nature of my mess making. I know it's weird but sometimes I find messes comforting, it's like an extension of my internal stress. So I take a look at the mess and think Yep, that's how I feel... finally a clus

Hey Mom! So if you don't know, I've been in the process of rehabbing my back (again? or lately? or more differently? I don't know). I've been getting better at doing the exercises... which is great. My back has been feeling really good and I'm not limping as much as I used to.... also great. Until today.

Now I know what you're thinking Mack, please stop talking about your bodily fluids on the internet! Fair enough but I'm going to get a bit preachy here in a second and if you'd like to check out now is the time. While doing homework lying on your back is difficult and lying on the floor is uncomfortable. My friends offered to take notes for me so I could go home.... which is gr

Hey Mom! Happy Thanksgiving! That time of year where we eat too much, take naps and wear wool socks. You know, I sat down ready to write this and now I've completely forgotten what I wanted to write about... OH YEAH... ok I've got this... ok. So there was no update last week because of long and boring reasons that neither of us care about BUT this past week I've been feeling really introspective which is Mack-Code for kinda sad and very tired. If you don't know, I am a highly  emotional being but I'm the weird kind of emotional where I'm also fairly private about it (I realize how hypocritical this sounds given that this is my blog where I talk about my feelings but bear with me here): I was watching a movie with another mortal this weekend. Firstly, I was in a weird mood because I was grappling with the fact that I really enjoy one of my classes but I had a begrudging attitude towards it on Thursday and that wasn't fair and how privileged and ungra
