Life is really fscking confusing.

N+1 hours, days in the Regenstein library with words swimming in front of me and it is unclear exactly what I have accomplished. Or why I am reading it.

I really want to read Sacher-Masoch again. I also wish it wasn’t winter, I want to hang out with some seagulls.
I am desperate to say something here, but there is nothing to say.
I’m back in the same old position as ever. Shit.
