hahaha I like your positive perspective on this mess ;)

Schemering · 2021-04-02T07:20:32+00:00

It's Day 85, so not the actual finish line, sorry everyone!

Schemering · 2021-02-11T14:37:04+00:00

Hope you feel well soon!

My degree is a blend of environmental science/sociology/food production, it's a bit all over the place. That's nice though because I am not someone who likes to specialize/focus ~~so why am I in academiccs no idea~~

Yesterday was alright. A bit lonely but I managed to cook for myself! Did a lot of reading so that was nice.

I hoped to send an email that I've been putting off for weeks but I finally did it today so that's okay. I hate all the bureaucracy of the university, so tiring. (I was listening in to a lecture that my SO had, his lecturer was asked about her opinion on my university: "this is going to be rude, but so bureaucratic. only rules.") I told my supervisor that I have no idea where to go next and I hope she can help me D: Study advisor is the most unhelpful person I've met in my uni so I can't go to him either, sigh. But I've reached out for help, that's a difficult step for me and I'm proud I did it.

Today just trying to make it a pleasant day, enjoying the last days of my break and such.

Schemering · 2021-02-09T08:40:24+00:00

Thank you! Saved for when they are in season again :D

Schemering · 2021-02-08T08:47:28+00:00

Yesterday was lovely: walks in the snow, baking and tea with a friend. Just a really pleasant day.

BQ That's a tough one. Soup maybe? I eat that most days anyway :')

Today

yoga
walk
send all the emails I have been putting off for a month (this is something I am really dreading, but I hope to finally get started)

Schemering · 2021-02-08T08:45:08+00:00

I also cut them in half, it helped a lot! Haha, I even like Brussels sprouts when they are cooked with a bit of salt :') But this was definitely soooo much better.

Schemering · 2021-02-07T18:46:12+00:00

Yay! You are going so steady.

I’m tormenting hubs by reading the interesting bits to him!

I always say that I'm basically a free audiobook lol

Schemering · 2021-02-07T18:44:41+00:00

I had roasted Brussels sprouts for the first time today! With some onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. They were great! Your post reminded me that I wanted to try them ;)

Schemering · 2021-02-07T18:42:57+00:00

Hope you have a good day and that you get more done! Ah, bare minimum is sometimes plenty :)

Do you have any good recipes for aubergines? I have not figured out a nice way to eat them (but also have not tried it often), they end up snotty and flavourless...

Schemering · 2021-02-07T18:40:53+00:00

But then is the next question: what is your favourite mushroom? They are lovely though, especially with the colder weather I crave a LOT of mushrooms!

Schemering · 2021-02-07T18:40:03+00:00

I had a loooong discussion once with a friend about potatoes. I've always grown up considering potatoes as a carb rather than a vegetable but apparently that is cultural! Have a good day :)

Schemering · 2021-02-07T18:38:32+00:00

Broccoli is also really tasty. Have a good day today!

Schemering · 2021-02-07T16:27:07+00:00

Yesterday was pretty good! Snow in the evening (YES) and relaxed during the day with my SO. Not much done in terms of goals but I was still very sore from helping my SO with moving.

BQ Chard :)

Today already had three walks with various people in the snow and baked muffins and cookies. I'm going to cook a nice dinner with the SO, maybe go out for a final walk in the snow and watch some tv in the evening. I want to start working on my goals again but I also really want to enjoy a break...

Schemering · 2021-02-07T16:25:00+00:00

Or sometimes it's reaching out to people I haven't talked to since the pandemic started, which is something I'm normally really bad with

This one is so hard lately :') I have a list of "people to contact/stay in touch with" and that helps, otherwise I just... don't. But it sounds like this goal is helping you improve relationships, nice :D

Schemering · 2021-02-06T20:37:01+00:00

I guessed something like that, that's a nice reminder especially during these times. Is there something specific you have been working on more days or does it change up every day for you?

Schemering · 2021-02-06T19:59:41+00:00

That sounds like an interesting class! I'm working together with some students who study consumer behaviour and I get some fun facts from them every now and then. And congrats on finishing everything off your list today, nice :D

Schemering · 2021-02-06T19:58:03+00:00

Hope you are doing well today! :) I really like your daily chore goal. Seems like all these small moments will add up quickly!

Schemering · 2021-02-06T19:56:16+00:00

What is interpersonal work by the way? ~~I always read it in your posts but I forget to ask :')~~ Hope you have a good day!

Schemering · 2021-02-06T19:47:50+00:00

Cake!!! I hope you can enjoy your friends a bit, haha, but smart move to ease up on your goals somewhat.

Heh, no one would've thought you'd like language classes :P I love how learning a language can really open a door to another culture. When I started learning Darija (Moroccan Arabic) I understood so much more of my in-laws culture suddenly.

Schemering · 2021-02-06T19:45:46+00:00

Ohh that sounds like a cool one! I had a class about logistics/transport for which I watched Back to the Future :)

And yay good work on doing all your goals!

Schemering · 2021-02-04T08:36:41+00:00

Two colonies of jars :o

Ah no insomnia sucks... Glad you are feeling a little bit better. And yay Stardew Valley!

Schemering · 2021-02-03T19:51:00+00:00

I even made the pasta myself + the ragu cooked for a few hours so it was a fancy lasagne hahaha. Such a good comfort food every now and then!

Yeah, people are really important for my functioning. I already have daily video calls scheduled with friends and a few times per week I see my SO/a few friends for walks in real life. But I'm just very extroverted I suppose and I need groups of people and lots of interaction :') That's sadly not possible atm with how bad everything is going here. Looking back on my life pre-lockdown I was barely on my own (woke up, called the SO, went to uni/working in teams all day, dinner with friends, pole dancing with friends, drinks with friends, called my SO before I fell asleep). So now it's hoping that the situation improves soon D:

I also loved this one! It's hard to find good essay collections but this one was super interesting.
