I’m fairly certain I’ve reached the end of my academic motivation. This is a slightly terrifying realization, as I have approximately two months until I defend my thesis. But the motivation is gone nonetheless.

Today I worked 8 to 5:30 in Ethnology with a 20-minute lunch, and I had the most phenomenal day. I worked on six different projects, accomplished all sorts of things, and my head is filled with goals and plans for Thursday when I get to work again.

I want to do this for the rest of my life.
