Today I played some Dungeons and Dragons. I had forgotten what it was like to take time out of all things stressful and just hangout. We rolled our character sheets and started fleshing out characters. I even got to bring my dog along. This past week was very stressful and I had a hard time. It’s hard to manage so much at time. In Dungeons and Dragons I’m playing a necromancer alien. It’s genderless and it’s race doesn’t participate in names. It has given itself a name for the purpose of this journey and it’s Aspidischie. It’s goal is to collect genetic material and also find good sources of resources for it’s species. The other characters are a cleric Aarakocra, a fire Genasi bloodhunter, and human ranger. Our Dungeon Master (Campaign Keeper) has done a pretty good job of setting up map and getting us into the story. Even the enemy’s have been set up well and the pacing is going well. So far we’ve taken down a necromancer and helped a little girl get her flute back.

I didn’t do so well on my midterms. I sometimes still feel very lost. Like I’m still in the bad place that I used to be. I think I’m just having a hard time managing stress and trying to keep positive. Medicine only helps so much, you know? I’ve been trying to keep myself on track as much as I can. It’s just hard to keep focus and keep motivated. Maybe it’ll get better. Maybe the struggle is what makes our story.
