Dealing with issues and seeing two different films

So classes have been over for a few weeks. I originally planned to just take one class for the fall but it fell .5 credits over the minimal needed for financial aid, so I took another Writing Portfolio class. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I was looking forward to doing less work. I even said goodbye to the professor of it. Ah well. I’ll have to email him that I’m taking the Writing Portfolio class again at some point. 

Still struggling with not getting distracted while I write, whether fanfiction or original fiction. I keep going to twitter or putting around on other sites and then I get sucked into things there. I try to put my laptop into a position where I would remain focused on writing but it doesn’t always work and my current headphones are very sensitive – I have to loop them around the wing of the chair to keep the sound from going in and out. I wonder if the place for my headphone jack might be flawed. When I use it for my phone, the sound comes out fine. Either that, or the headphone wire is shorting out from days of bending and curling. Anyway, I’m going to try finding a way to keep focusing on my daily writing again. I’m only getting one or two pages done a day now, and I should fix that. At least the fanfic chapter I’m working on it relatively short, around forty pages, so it won’t be delayed too much hopefully but it sucks I can’t get through it quicker.

I’m thinking I should socialize a bit more. I’m introverted, so I’m comfortable observing quite a bit, but it means that I rarely interact with people and I can be very cautious when I do so. This can mean I don’t speak up when I should. This leaves me feeling “bleh” some of the time when I’m scrolling around the Internet. Mind you, that might be because I’m often not writing as much during some of the days. I’m taking a break on some of the usual writing and reading time most of the week and the fun and the satisfaction of doing those things isn’t there. Maybe I should find more time to do those things. But aside that, maybe I should talk a bit more with some of the people I follow, not every day but every few days. I’m starting to get more politically active, calling my congresspeople and submitting emails/comments to people and agencies to do or not do certain things. That has led to some satisfaction but still, socializing a bit more in other matters might be needed.

That’s all for now. At some point I took a walk while editing this and posted this at the last minute. Until the end of June, see you!
