fuzzyred | Weekly Update. Ish

Let's see if I can make a coherent post. I am currently veryyyyy high on caffeine and have jittery/bouncy amounts of energy so my brain might be all over the place. If so, I apologize in advance.

This week has been a whole lot of non-productive. I had a great (very fun) weekend that helped reduce stress levels, but I have proceeded to stay up too late and sleep forever so I have gotten very little done this week other than work. Oh well, I shall attempt to reset over the weekend and try again next week. I do have a social engagement this Saturday, and a plan to avoid excess drinking, so it shouldn't kill my whole Sunday (unlike last time, where I over-indulged). Fingers crossed I get get my motivation and planning together and get some more stuff done before the end of March, but we'll see how everything goes.

There is something that's been on my mind for the last few days, because I'm reading a fanfic for the second time and it is very engaging and intriguing. It's set in the Harry Potter universe and involves time travel back to the Founding of Hogwarts. What caught my interest was how the author focused on the language issues someone from 1995 would have had in 990AD, and the perceived lack of details of education (magical and not) of the "modern day" Hogwarts. It makes me wish I didn't have to work 8 hours a day to pay bills and live, because there are so many things I would love to learn if I had the time, and this story is reminding me of that. Unfortunately, I have not yet won the lottery and thus do not have enough free time or spare brains for the kind of exploring/learning I'd like to do. Perhaps someday I will have the time, but for the moment, I shall steal what learning I can, where I can, and enjoy the fabulous stories that inspiring me to keep that yearning alive.
