     The .plan updates have not been so frequent.
     I haven't really been lazy.

     The .plan isn't as necessary for me right now
     as it was over the summer -- I needed a channel
     for my creative energies and the Soapbox wasn't
     doing it with the weekly updates.  Needed daily
     mental exercise, you know?

     But school is rough right now.  Not demanding
     or challenging, just TIRING.  It's the war of
     attrition, especially Latin.  It gnaws away at
     me as I try to remember all the idioms and
     exceptions to the hard and fast rules.   It's
     exhausting.  I'm ready for the end of the
     semester.

     I think I always feel like this as the semesters
     dwindle down.  I get run down and bored.  The
     classes reach such technical levels that they're
     no longer useful or relevant to my education
     (well they are, but not at a practical level).
     I lose interest and enthusiasm.  I start showing
     up to class a bit late.  I never skip class,
     though. ;)  Good student.

     So the .plan won't be updated as often as
     usual.  I know of only one person for sure who
     would read this regularly if it were updated
     so, and I love her for that aspect of her
     love for me, and with her is the only place
     I want to be right now.  The only fucking place.

     I don't know -- it feels kind of good to write
     this right now.  I just finished translating
     ten English sentences into Latin and this helps
     me relax.  Maybe I will update more often after
     all.

     Just don't expect much from me.  I'm terribly
     busy with two billion ongoing projects.
