rare day that i'm not in room 4

so much burnout

Posted by jasonzeng124 on February 8, 2026

The captains wanted to add sundays. maybe they will next week, but one of our mentors told us not this sunday b/c of the superbowl.

isn’t this a bit absurd?…


Mechies think they’re better than design. that they’ll get everything done in a week. well, where is the intake?

I also think I’ll get everything done in a week. :pensive: perhaps it’s best if I change that. At least I’m not telling everyone that i can get everything done in a week tho, unlike the mechies.

Maybe if I stop coding swerve myself it will be done in a week. but thats no fun. If it comes to that i’ll do it tho.


It’s funny how every monday I have a good idea of where everything’s going. And as the week goes on I just like give up on trying to change it, because nobody wants to change anything.

And upon weekends with some time to think I realize how much harm has been done in waiting.

Why am I still waiting? this is insanity. something has to change. nothing has changed yet.


The best way to agree on a decision is to not involve everyone who will disagree.

Well I guess I will have to make the decisions all by myself…

Hopefully only after it is all done will they realize that a decision has even been made.


Anyway it seems like over the past month (month!) my life has been like basically only robotics. Something like go to school, school (and skip a class or two for robotics), then robotics until 8, then go home and do some hw and write blog. and then get not enough sleep.

On weekends I’ve either been busy with like usaco or shovelling snow or something. That is when I’m not at robotics for another 6 hours.

And the very few days that I’m free (e.g. today) I burn on… i don’t know??? they just pass like they were never there. (what did i do today??? ???)

I’m suffering from a ton of burnout right now. And a bit of sleep deprivation probably. I lowk need a break but I don’t think i’ll get one.
