I felt a lot better and stopped taking my meds early. That came to bite me in the butt in the evening, so we're back to the meds :')

I did manage to go on a little walk tho! Motivating myself to go for walks is a lot harder whenever I visit my parents because my home town is located in a very hilly area. The city I live in now is mostly flat (also because it's, well, a city and not a small town) and so simply going out (and staying out longer) is, for some reason, easier to justify in my mind. I do, however, love the nature surrounding my home town, so walks are usually worth the exhaustion.

Positive things I did today:

finished literature review for the Hamilton essay and made a writing plan

went for a walk

Hours slept:  ~8hrs Screentime: ~6hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~4.400

This has turned from a getting my life together challenge into a 'How can I fuel my Cillian Murphy obsession most efficiently?' challenge. Needless to say, I continued watching Peaky Blinders with my friend (daily Tommy Time, as we like to call it). But that's okay, because this Tuesday was rest day and now I am rested and shall try to get back into the groove.

I also recently found out about the Magical Readathon hosted by Book Roast over on YouTube. I doubt I'll actualy finish it, but I'll at least try to make use of the reading motivation I got from it. So far I've read the first 60 or so pages if Im Westen nichts neues (All Quiet on the Western Front in English). I really like it so far. It's sad (obviously) but I like that in books. And once I've finished it I can also finally watch the movie.

Positive things I did today:

kept the duolingo Spanish streak going

cooked two warm meals

went for a walk and read at a café

finished season 1 and started season 2 of Peaky Blinders with my friend

Hours slept: ~9hrs Screentime: 7hrs 30mins (how did I spend 4hrs on WhatsApp??) Steps taken: ~5.600

Ah, the good old taxi driver. I get that one so frequently as well, especially since I dropped out of the teacher-trainee program in favor of a "regular" BA in English. Wether it's linguistics or literature, people struggle immensely with understanding what language might possibly be good for and how anyone might be able to monetize it. (I hate that everything is always about money)

visited a museum today that shows you how blind people navigate through their everyday lives (very interesting btw) and this one lady wanted to know what i'm studying so when i told her linguistics, she honest to god said "what can you do with that except become a taxi driver" 🤡 idk maybe work on those text-to-speech systems that we just learnt about?? yk for blind people??

"fck you my child is completely fine!" M'am your child is reading gossip about dead authors from the 19th century at 3am

*pats your back* it's OK, sis, it's OK. We'll just change our phone wallpapers to pretty skies, change the layout and then we'll gently purge our phones outside the windows and start using it for less than 2 hours a day, we'll also eat more fruits and soups, touch the wall, then the floor,the carpet and the door and before we know it, we'll reach the grass and plants waiting for us all this time,and then we'll look at the sky, look at it some more and fall asleep, we'll then take a nice refreshing bath, wash our hair and sit on our desk, smile and then take our books to sit on the floor, and sis, that's when magic happens because you don't need more, you need less. You don't need plans, you need space, to be, content without those mfs.

Managed to have a really, really good Sunday!

It was a nice combination of productivity and leasure. Went out to get coffee with a friend in the afternoon and managed to get some work for my essay done. Very, very minor things, but I managed to come up with a working thesis for now. More research will show if I can use it.

We also found these Sailor Moon sodas! Our little weeb heart jumped at that.

My friend also introduced me to notion. I'm still a bit overwhelmed by it but managed to set up one page and it's a lot of fun! Maybe I'll show it off once I have more to show

Positive things I did today:
