The election (and general state of the world) is increasingly taking its toll on me. The term “fatalistic suicide” by Durkheim seems to feel more and more relevant to me over the course of the past year...
Today, I sat in class (zoned out a lot) for about an hour and a half, then had a phone call with my supervisor. We touched base on some of our ongoing projects. I took my partner and sibling to the pet supply store and have a lovely conversation with the manager, who gave me tips on how to introduce a new cat to the resident cat. The rest of the night was semi-productive, with additional scoping review progress (collecting more articles and continuing on a figure draft). I played some Valorant and had a few good games but lost steam by the 3rd or 4th match.
