rs at a senior citizen for literally no reason at all... why did i want to do that? i dont even hate him i dont even know him—is that weird? i think it might be because i havent slept more than four hours a night since the semester started and my eyes were burning from looking at the computer screen so much... being 52 and trying to get this degree is way harder than i thought it would be and the professors are all so young and they look at me like im a dinosaur when i ask how to use the online portal... then my daughter calls and only talks about herself and her boyfriend and my mom is forgetting things and i just feel like im being pulled in every direction until there is nothing left for ME...
