Every half-term break I say to myself that I’m gonna actually leave the house more and see my friends. And then every half-term, I stay in bed and watch too much Netflix while drinking too much wine and eating copious amounts of food covered in cheese. I did this yet again, and avoided all work that had to be done until the last minute. Now I’ve got three days to type up work that I should have done at the beginning of the break. Another pattern I find myself in—always telling myself to get the work done immediately so I can chill out for the rest of the break, and then doing the work with only hours left until the deadline.

This doesn’t exactly paint a good picture of me, but then again it’s 14:55 and I’m lying in bed after eating a box of Turkish delight, so I can’t exactly vouch for my own well-being at this time. I haven’t left the house in over three days and I haven’t changed out of pajamas in that time, so I think it’s safe to say that I am in a rut.

It’s time to get out, but that might take a while. ♦
