It’s been a hell of a two weeks since the last Field Notes. In that time, Bwog did its best to simply survive.

Bwog survived the election:

• Watched six straight hours of Star Trek to distract myself from the election
• Spoke with my ex to distract myself from the election
  • (Still not sure how I feel about this decision)
• Yelled and celebrated out of my window after the Associated Press called Biden’s victory 
• Stress-baked many things
  • Tried to check the cakes in the oven instead of checking the news
• Wanted the best for Steve Kornacki
• Briefly went online shopping for a new citizenship

Bwog survived fall break:

• Made a dress out of tissue paper and packing tape for Halloween
• Walked crosstown through Central Park with my girlfriend at night
  • It felt magical
• Met a truly incredibly fat cat named Bijou
• Did not do really any of my work
• Switched to my flannel bedsheets because it’s fall, I guess
• Failed to do work
  • Paying out the ass for that now
• Made a pen pal
• Got some homework done ahead of time???
  • Will probably never do that again
• Ignored every single one of my responsibilities like a goddamn ADULT
• Watched horror movies on Halloween
  • Regretted it because I am a wimp
• Worked for far too long to produce exactly one page of writing for my thesis. I am already sick and tired of thinking about monkey vaginas

Bwog survived, full stop:

• Just kind of… managed
• Had many thoughts and feelings while driving
  • Totally forgot I was driving
  • Almost ran a red light
• Got drunk in the bathroom while hiding from my mom and contemplated my life choices
• Yearned and also longed for things that are now part of the past that I didn’t think would be part of the past
• Wept
• Slept a lot
• Sat in a dissociative state for four days straight
• Contemplated relocating to the Appalachian wilderness
  • Goodbye
