Fatigue

"Sweet Leaf" - by goatshrine @ deviantART

Another quarter down.
As always, I feel like I'm not done. Like I have homework to do over the weekend.

A week and a half isn't much. That's barely any time for me to recuperate mentally. Fortunately, spring quarter shouldn't be too bad; I'm taking only one illustration class, Computer Art (a 100-level course) and Italian Renaissance Art, which should be quite enjoyable considering my intense interest in the subject. 

I will say, though, that I'm not entirely happy that my godfather is here for six more days. It's nice to see him for a little while, but he has freaking nothing to do here (he was taking apart a rubik's cube last night?), and both my mother and I feel obligated to entertain him, which means something along the lines of board games. And board games tire me after a while - especially when I'm in school.

On top of that, the little things are starting to bug me: he leaves the toilet seat up; he can't be bothered to change a roll of toilet paper even though there's a new roll directly under it; he doesn't seem to know how to put dishes in the dishwasher, etc. It's almost like he's getting... comfy here.

But once again, I'm giving him a break, because I know how miserable he is back at home, having to take care of his dad, who seems to be getting more difficult to handle as time passes. However, as much as I love him, I still do need my introvert time... 

I'm feeling very fatigued today. I'm not sure why. Yesterday wasn't particularly draining - I even got to leave 45 minutes early. But I feel... lethargic and slow-moving. The first word that came to mind this morning was exercise. I feel like I really need it. My mom's been talking about walking recently, so I guess she's just waiting for a warmer day to do it (a cold front blew in yesterday). I'm going to go with her because I really do need that exercise. I owe that to my body.

I'm not planning on an entirely productive break. It'll probably be filled with GW2. I was thinking about at least doing one personal artwork, but I'm burnt out. Maybe I'll try to incorporate some writing, instead... but I don't think that will happen either, honestly. 

Let the gaming begin.
