Happy Ides of March everyone. This morning getting up was a struggle. I am still having some problems with my anxiety rising up out of nowhere but it was better than yesterday. The thought that plagued me is a rising imposter syndrome anytime I am in class for a protohistory lecture. I am the only historian in a room full of archaeologists and the more I go the more I feel out of place. Everyone knows each other, and there's some technicalities I don't know about that are triggering anxiety for the second half of this course. I know this is all in my head but to be honest I don't know how to deal with it at all. To end on a bright note, I finally got myself a new journal, and I am very glad I waited, because I found the one. It's so cute with smiley fried eggs on the cover, it will definitely motivate me to pick it up more now that I am struggling. I also really like the layout of the pages, there's a premade spot to write the date and to track the weather.
