RnR

Two weeks tomorrow since classes ended and although I am combining a lot more rest into my activities I still feel dragged out much of the time. I suppose as I get older it takes longer to bounce back from sustained intense output (bolstered by caffeine, which I have been weaning myself off of, today being my first attempt to go entirely without). I still have an essay to write for another class, ‘Social and Cultural Implications of New Media’, which will cover some angle on documentary new media, so I am going to keep writing in this journal as part of that process. I will go back over some of the course materials, from both classes, now that I have more time and mental space for contemplation. I also have to get started on my thesis project, but I am still catching up on a backlog of household chores and administrative tasks.

The best part of having no classes? Leisure reading! Currently, Jonathan Lethem’s Girl In Landscape. I’ve read most of his novels, but this one eluded me for a time. Oh, and the cats are noticeably happier having me home more.
