Yo, it's that thing you did a year ago and forgot about.

Dear FutureMe, Hey, dude. I am so totally procrastinating on prelims reading right now. I guess you've gotten through that one way or the other by now. At this point, I hope you make it, but it's not your fault if you don't; it's mine for doing this shit instead of prelims reading. Writing to my future self is kind of strange because I always hope that I will have improved. As of this writing, I am rather in a rut, which I recognize. I've never been a particularly happy person, so it is probably vain to hope that I would be one year from now. But if you're still basically in the same place I am, you should try doing all those things that you're always putting off, like exercising and getting your shit in order. Let's see, I might as well remind you that at present, you (I) just broke up with Gavin. How's that working out? Right now, I somewhat regret it, but think it might have been for the best in the long run. This would be a lot more useful if it worked the other way around. I would be a lot more inclined to follow advice from a future than a past self, since my past self would basically just be me minus a year of experience. So maybe (hopefully) you've got it all figured out in the future, but I sure as hell know my past self didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Which is probably the situation you're in now. There are a couple of problems that I am thinking about right now that I am not going to talk about, for fear that somebody else will read the e-mail or something. Do you remember well enough to figure out what those things are? Okay, I'm going to bed, and then waking up to read about Liberia. -PastYou (Me)
