Further follow-through:

Another week, another bunch of BSed work, exactly as predicted. I got all the work in, some of it actually looking reasonably convincing. I took a midterm without reading a single word of the textbook and on common sense with a side of google, got 84. (Woulda been 86 if I didn't accidentally click the wrong thing and hit submit on one question.) I found a good website with simple googling skills to fulfill a research requirement and summarized some of its key points, then halfheartedly replied to others who had done the same. And then there was my cover letter. Sent it in, in spite of knowing it's utter trash, because some points > no points, especially when your grade is a D.

...Yeah, D. I did tell you I was on the verge of failing that class; I really wasn't joking.

In somewhat more pleasant news, there's a figment of a song I once tried to write, "Paranoia and delusion" (sharing the same tune, I just now noticed, with "I'm so sorry"; fitting, given both are songs that I cooked up in some of the darkest periods of my life and the slow, slow nature of them makes this abundantly and painfully clear), that I just now created, either just before or after the "Paranooooooooia, and deluuuuuuusion" part, which goes,
"_ Destrooooooooooooy(y)a, better lose it". (Or 'em, not sure, depends.)

So vague songwriting progress today, too.

But mostly playing catch-up.
Lots and lots of catch-up.
