Mood disorders journal entry

Tuesday

Today feels like one of the better days.  I don't know. I have things to do, but it's sunny outside and I'm thinking of going for a run.  I haven't slept in a few days. I don't feel like I haven't. I feel good, great. I want to go jogging. I haven't run in a while. I wonder how far I could run, or how fast. I think I could be pretty fast. I haven't been to bed in a few days.  That feels good, I guess. Yeah, it feels good. I finished my homework today, and the day before. I feel like I could do all the chemistry I wanted. Maybe I should become a chemistry teacher. Yeah, a teacher would be cool. Or maybe a doctor. I'd be a good doctor and a good teacher, I know I would be. Maybe I should just teach medicine. I'd be good at that since I'm a good teacher and a good doctor. I should start tutoring kids in chemistry or biology, or English. Maybe I should be a writer. I'm thinking about taking a jog. Maybe I should be a fitness instructor. My mom's been mad at me lately, we fight a lot. It doesn't matter. I don't belong here. I should apply to universities today, I'll get accepted, I know I will. I'll go jogging, I'll go jogging.

Thursday

Slept all day. I'm useless.
