I Wasted My Entire Week through Binge-watching
Here is what I learned from my watching spree
I am starting my teaching semester this upcoming week. Therefore, I have had to make a ton of preparation for my new semester. Almost all teaching went online, which means I need to rethink my entire teaching materials. I have a ton of deadlines, responsibilities, tasks, and never-ending to-do lists.
Yet, in the midst of all this busyness, I managed to waste almost my entire week through binge-watching.
Drowning in Binge
I watched “I am not OK with this”, “I am Thinking of Ending Things”, “Ratched”, “Misfits”, “Enola Holmes”, “The Adaptation”, “Tenet”, and “My Octopus Teacher”. In addition, I watched two Turkish dramas, each with a heavy emotional dose: Kirmizi Oda and Masumlar Apartmani. I feel a bit heavy now — and I must also admit this is deeply embarrassing.
My Brain is a Sponge Now
My brain now feels like a sponge — it feels as if I have sucked all the characters, stories, quotes, adventures, colors, emotions, struggles, paradoxes, and miseries. Layers and layers of storytelling are now messing up with my brain.
