Journal #21 2/03/2026 - Lalitha
Today moved in slow motion. With school cancelled again tomorrow, the whole day had this quiet, in‑between feeling. I still knocked out my requirements like usual, just kind of drifting from one thing to the next. I even made some progress on an essay, which honestly felt good to clear off my plate.
Most of yesterday’s snow finally started melting, so everything looked a little less frozen and a little more slushy.
I also had a mentor session (THANKS MASTER WEEKS :> ) and later helped out with the Senior Tigers. Leading the kicks definitely snapped me out of that autopilot haze.
The rest of the day stayed pretty chill (SORRY I HAD TO I BETTER STOP LOL) :>
Hope everyone’s staying warm and pushing through. Good luck with the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
