I've been in a strange mood, where my mind preoccupies itself with melancholy thoughts although I don't in fact feel anything except lassitude. It's a bit early for the yearly 봄바람 (literally "spring wind" but translates better to "spring fever") to set in, and this current state is too apathetic to be the usual wanderlust that strikes just when the weather starts getting warm.
I feel like I ought to be depressed, but I'm not. I was wondering if I was going through an early burnout this semester, but I would feel more upset and frustrated if I was actually burning out. Instead, I'm just paralyzed. It confuses me to no end.
I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to articulate what I've been thinking about, but I can't find a good way of explaining it even to myself. It's at moments like these that I try to write fanfic, because I must admit that I've always thought of fiction as a good way of not-saying what you want to say. But writing-wise, I'm at a blank.
Eh, maybe I'm just tired.
Yours &c.

TRUE. I got in so much trouble sophmore year when I handed in a History essay I'd finished in fiction!writing mode. It pretty much refused to state anything directly, all its main point were implied and worked around. That sort of thing is good when you're in short stories, horrible in academic papers.
