Early October and…BURNOUT!!

Foundation of Integrative Thinking (FIT) is definitely my favourite class: the prof is incredibly engaging and the material is incredibly interesting. However, part way through the lecture I had this feeling come over me of: “I DON’T CARE!!!!” Even though I normally would have found what we were discussing quite interesting, I realized what happened- I hit the academic wall and burned out!

Yes, it took only about 6 weeks and there I am. It was probably a testament to the insane workload mentioned in earlier posts. Thankfully though, if there was any time to burnout, now was the time. Part of FIT required reading the book (now movie as well), Moneyball and write an essay based on the themes in the book. So with the essay handed in and the quarter nearing end, a bunch of us (including our prof) went to see it. A welcome brain vacation!!

And on top of that, thanks to some very excellent planning, I don’t have much work to do this weekend- a long weekend at that- so I can just chill and take a mini school break. I am definitely going to need it because exam crunch time is fast approaching!!
