highlyeccentricI’m counting therapy prep as my post for the day.
Meanwhile for *no reason at all no sir*, an anecdote:
I did not get a job summer after first year uni. Did some initial seeking, but mostly I read books and learned to drive. Went into a sort of depression, but not really depression, I wasn’t unhappy just low activation. (In hindsight it might have been the driving practice sapping my exec function).
My first lecture back was Anglo-Saxon Norse and Celtic Studies: intro by the formidable Margaret Clunies Ross, then three rapid mini-lectures so we could choose our language stream. Two hours.
I took verbatim notes. By hand.
I emerged shaking like a leaf and high on adrenaline.
Those two hours and the following high decided a lot of my subsequent life, I guess.
At the time I took the switch-flip for a sign of vocation, not a Symptom, but: whynotboth.gif.
