University is going as well as can be expected in circumstances. The previous semesters, I crashed and burned hard in week 5. This semester, I only took three units and started booking appointments etc early, so that if I clagged out mid-semester again, I had measures in place to pick myself up much faster.
Except then I crashed and burned in WEEK 2 and the resulting brain funk hung around for two weeks, dragged out all the appointments and the massive anhendonia came back in a semester where every assignment requires me to be interested and enthusiastic about things. I'm a bit peeved at the ol' meat-shell.
It's been a while since I wrote a public post, because I every post I drafted, like the above, comes out as 'everything's the same except just that little but significant amount worse' and it gives me the shits.
Something odd happened in the last few days, though. Realising I've gone off games enough that I'm unlikely to buy a new console or a decent PC in the foreseeable future anyway, I looked up NieR Automata spoilers out of curiosity, and it reminded me of an over-ambitious NieR (original, not Automata) fan project I started years ago. I tracked down the old files and yeah, what I had going was over-ambitious and a bit crap in places and really enjoyable to read? Enough that the idea of leaving it on an old backup drive forever actually bothered me!
So, in between scouring the house for my lost student card and staring blankly at assignments, I'll see if I can bring this thing to life. I still get Kudoses on the regular for a Nier snippet I posted on AO3 (a rewrite of a scene from this project) so at least a few people will read it, and it's a good candidate for learning how to finish what I start.
