Apathy.

So, I’ve noticed that during the past few months I’ve developed that habit of suddenly becoming struck with these debilitating moments of apathy where I can’t continue in a current quest. Usually as I near the point of helpless frustration.

Most of the time this reduces me to dropping onto the floor no matter where I’m located and curling up into a ball until it passes. Much in the way this cat does:




These episodes can last anywhere from ten seconds to half-an-hour.

As finals week approaches, I find myself having more and more of these quick depressing episodes, the last one occurring just a few minutes ago after I couldn’t locate my calculator. It was relatively short, only about fifteen seconds and occurred near the sink by the door.

When I stood up, I immediately located my calculator on the desk nearby in plain sight. I feel like these moments have become a kind of “reset” button.

College is a funny thing.
