I often catch myself spacing out during the busiest of days. I’m not really surprised, it’s something normal to me.

On some days, I space out while listening to another person talk. I have developed a way of trying to piece together fragments of the conversation just to follow what the other person is saying. It’s sad, really. It feels like my brain automatically shuts down.

But not this year. 

I can’t afford to make mistakes. My mind can’t just go blank whenever it feels like doing so. I have thesis, dammit. I need to fix this. Asap.
