october is such a slow month rbo. your mind is filled with the upcoming hmmt, pumac, tamu, bmt, amcs, mmaths, arml power, etc in november or late october, but theres no actual competitions in the majority of the month. its really just a long slog to the last weekend of the month, the first half of october is also really stressful because its the end of the grading period and its when everything is due :sob:

this week will feel like the longest, im going to arml power on oct 26 but meanwhile theres all this school stuff to do and nothing to get your mind off it, the prospect of all these comps just makes the remaining week longer... ig this is why fridays feel so long.

i could prepare for all of these competitions but theres just so much work in the past week i havent had any time at all to do so. hopefully the workload lightens at the start of the second quarter so i can actually get my math done; but even today when theres no schoolwork im not motivated to do anything, i just want to rest :sob: and this is probably not healthy because i havent really done math in the past two months either other than doing a few woot problems here and there and the occasional problem writing. (btw hopefully vmamc 2024 releases soon, i should really write more problems ive been procrastinating oop)

i just want this week to end quickly and i actually have some comps to get my mind off school,,;

however i feel like the week after is going to be even longer, no amcs that week to prepare for or discuss, just a bunch of schoolwork to do and i have zero motivation to do anything because i just want tamu, amc, hmmt to arrive and i can actually do math for once

time will pass....
