This break seemed to go by really fast. My classes start tomorrow night, and I still have various odds and ends to take care of before then. I'm taking a romanticism course focused on Coleridge's conversation poems and a general Victorian literature course. I don't expect them to be too difficult as long as my mental health doesn't take a nosedive this spring. *crosses fingers* I'm used to taking classes on Zoom, but the ongoing pandemic is still wearing on me. I hope the classes will help take my mind off of it.
I've been much more social on DW and elsewhere this year, which is important because I really miss social interactions when I'm not in class. I hope to keep in touch with people more this year. Still, I am an anxious introvert and all this attention can be exhausting. I may choose to slow things down a bit. I think I have responded to most of my comments on DW and will try to get to the others soon.
I don't think I'll do challenge #9 for
snowflake_challenge, but we'll see. It's a little out of my comfort zone (even though I think I did it in a previous year), and if I were to rec some of my writing, it has been so long since I've thought about it that I'm not sure where I'd start.
I also signed up for
getyourwordsout. I pledged to write 120 days this year, so I hope that can help to kick my creativity back into gear. I did almost no creative writing last year, and that felt like a mistake for my mental well-being. Somehow, I need to find a balance.
