“Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.” —Robert Jordan
I was busy with assignments all last week, so I worked through the weekend. As of today, I’m still behind in one class and have some more assignments on the horizon.
Despite the strong odour of eschatological anxiety this creates, I’m focused on doing what I can. I did classwork for eight hours, plus two hours of studying for the LSAT with only one question wrong on a timed section of analytical reasoning. I did laundry. I exercised. I took care of myself. Lets hope I didn’t get too close to the sun.
My mind is fucking with me again help

@ wheel of time fandom y'all are great holy shit.

in honor of like 10 people reblogging and enjoying this oldass post lately, i have great news:
I FINISHED THE WHEEL OF TIME‼️
the day before yesterday to be precise. i sat on my porch reading the last 100pgs of aMoL and wept when it was done (and then immediately wrote my review on bookworm). what a journey it was!!! like any WoT fan i have some problems with the series but overall it was such an exciting ride. it took me abt 4 years to read all 14 books bc i read them during college so of course i never had time 🗿 i would love to reread them all in much quicker succession some day! but for now i am taking a break from long series and will eventually return. 💖

Welcome to the great Wheel of Time POV poll!
