Literally *hurting* again on how hard my brain has to work on this assignment oh god

Seriously it’s like suddenly doing a 12 hour kayak after months of no exercise at all

specifically kayaking, too, because unlike other exercise where you *feel* your limit during, if you have good technique and rhythm you don’t feel the impact of the kayaking until you stop, and then it’s like, ohhhh what did I do why did I do itt

On the one hand, I think: if it feels this bad now I absolutely *have* to keep studying professionally at high level all my life because clearly my brain is not getting the exercise it needs!!!

on the other, I think: oh man this hurts in ways that there aren’t even words to describe the sensation I don’t know if I can take this for another 9 units over 3-8 years

#I complained about this w the last assignment too #I ended up getting 92% for that so…worth the hurt…#but also I just don’t have a ‘scaled down’ way to do this. Either I get the topic or I don’t and getting it takes effort #I lack half-arsing-it strategies with which to approach study if I don’t get the topic #I’ll happily half arse what I know but when I’m totally new to a thing this effort hump is the issue #Have to do all this work to even be able to know what to half-arse…
