An Open Letter

Tomorrow is now my rest day, and so I’m going to be pretty upset as I won’t have the gym to keep me sane. Today is the deadline for the month-long nightmare lab for this course, and I do feel pretty upset. E seems like they’ve put in less work than a regular person in this course, and I’ve anyway had to do the entire thing myself. I’ve been doing this with 20 units of classes, along with all the other things I have to do. I wish I had a partner for this class.

I had therapy today, and I learned of some direct actionable things I can do to help me. So going forward – here’s one of them.

Relax – done I guess? IDK what I’m supposed to write

Examine – I feel upset because E is to blame in my eyes for this situation and as a result I’ve had to do so much more work and go through this struggle all with a massive workload.

Set an intention – I don’t want to be a vindictive person, but I do think that this is unreasonable. I think I’ll try to talk to the professor tomorrow briefly after class or send an email.

Take action – After tomorrow’s lecture I’ll go up and briefly talk to him to figure out what to do.
