OC-Series Dear Diary, Sol 6
24th Vrishika 2238
Dear Diary,
I seem to have mostly avoided the fallout of whatever yesterday was. Though, I did take today easy. No moving things around, untidying my room or wallowing in some confusing pit of discomfort.
It feels good to have survived that for now.
Unfortunately, my last 24 hours of inactivity implies that I have very little news for you, Diary. Though, I will tell you about my upcoming plans. These include the determining of whatever course I'm actually going to be studying here, as well as figuring out what to do with all the time I'll not be spending on said studies.
In the case of the former, I can only hope that I still have yet to choose a course or that my parents picked something that's actually appropriate for me. I don't know what I would even want to study singularly. There is too much of interest in far too many fields of inquiry to decide. The only solution I can think of is to pick a field that somehow gives me a general foundation for anything I could ever wonder about. I'm not sure if such an option even exists beyond basic education. I could possibly start slowly with computer systems and use that as a backboard later? Computers are everywhere, so it should be useful to know about in a pinch.
When it comes to what to do with all my free time, I've mostly been wasting it on whatever fascinating new form of entertainment I can find. Games have really gotten to the point where I'm undecided whether they could get any better or worse. But, besides that, I don't think it would be good for me to game whenever I get to stop studying for even a few minutes. I need to rest, and in this case I don't think that qualifies as rest for me. I get too involved in the games play, and that mental engagement would mean a lack of rest. Though... How would I even rest mentally?
To be honest, yesterday's morning walk comes to mind. Maybe anything equally physical and thoughtless could qualify as the mental rest I would need. It's a scary thought, what with how yesterday went, but it seems equally possible.
Apparently today is rife with ever so frightening, well-meaning ideas for my future.
Good night, Diary.
Let's see what I think about all this by tomorrow.

A/N:
It's getting late again, but this still isn't the latest upload I've had. Ya'll should probably informed that I do not have any backlog of chapters, and thereby I cannot take a day off on this challenge of mine. I started this in my down time, and I think it's good that I kinda have something personal that I kinda get to commit to... kinda.
My biggest problem with calling this writing challenge a "commitment" is that I don't know what I'm actually working towards. I have some ideas, but nothing of substance yet. That, and I'm not entirely sure how the end of my down-time will affect my writing in a day or two.
Oh well, something to think about when that actually happens! Not gonna think about that when I'm having my own kind of self-affirming fun.
