napping

2026-04-27

i have been waking up before 7am recently because i have been trying to book an appointment to get a root canal done at a local hospital, and appointments are released then . i have yet to be successful . i didn't prepare well for class today, and my teacher told me i need to, and that she will set extra homework from now on . the thing is, i checked, and i had studied the content, i had just somehow completely forgotten it in the two hours between my last review and turning up . it was as if i'd never seen the hanzi before, which was strange, as usually it's that i remember its meaning or its pinyin, but i really couldn't even recognise them . i returned to my dorm, realised i'd lost my headphones somewhere on my ten minute cycle ride, and lay on top of my bedsheets . i checked on my laptop whether i had studied the hanzi i forgot -- i had . i sent some voice messages to a friend about an operating system i no longer use, and to another about her reinvigorated interest in academia, and accidentally slept for almost three hours . i need to work on a speech for my midterm in two days . i will probably write it about an interview i watched on c-span whilst i ate my pasta for dinner
