Sent in the final draft… this time at a much more godly hour - it’s now down to the last round of very minor edits from my supervisor tomorrow and freedom is around the corner!
Evidence of how I’m clearly done with this is that for the first time in my life, I am actually under the word count (310 words even below the 10% margin) without even having tried to cut any words out. And I can’t be fucked just babbling on about anything else extra. I truly look forward to never posting about this ever again in the near future (I guess I will check my marks when they come out)
good luck 🍀
more mental health bullshit
My twin sister is working a full-time job, has a mortgage, and is productive each day. She has a degree that’s viable and going to get her somewhere in the world.
But unfortunately, my first degree was in an interest area, which funnily enough, she started in it too. I did this degree with the plan of doing further study after, as it’s not very useful on its own unless you have a fuck ton of experience, and someone takes a chance on you from the beginning.
I just wish I was a functioning human being. I’m so sick of feeling everything x 1000 and being exhausted from the second I wake up. Yeah doing a masters degree is supposed to be tough, but the level of stress I’m experiencing is unjustified. I think during my next therapy session, I will speak to them about strategies for tolerating discomfort.
I am so lucky that I get to do this course, especially in a time where there is such a bigger focus on highlighting and solving inequities in this country than there has ever been.
I understand about the sibling situation. Mine was the golden child and I was not to put it mildly.
You can only compare yourself to who you were yesterday. I think that’s the way it works best.
I guess that makes us the silver children then. And I personally like silver better than gold 😀
I absolutely agree. Am trying not to compare myself.
I’m a participation trophy lol
Me too
In high school, I came last in a walking event, but I got a first place ribbon, because I was the only girl in my house group who did the event.
I never compared myself. What I did was let family members define me ( and it was never nice ) I listened to them because I trusted them like family.
it took me a long time to figure out to trust myself and not them.
Bronze child checking in!

so many hugs
just keep working at it and it should work out

I eat berries straight out of the punnet, no washing. Am I a savage? Maybe. But the raspberries I just ate were particularly delicious.
I wash raspberries…then quietly eat them one by one while they are drying so they never usually even make it to the fridge
Yeah you are.
I dunno, washing is a good opportunity to check for needles
I only wash strawberries. There’s no logic involved, it’s just what happens. Haven’t died yet.
You’ll most likely be fine. Just don’t think how many people handled them before consumption.
Definitely not a savage.
It’s important to wash your fruit and veg because of 2 words. Dick hands.
Shudders
I think arse hands are far worse, but valid point.
Something got caught in the chain of the new bike and bent the derailleur all to shit. Never happened to me on a bike before.
I knew I should have gone belt drive
They normally have a sacrificial hanger where they attach to the frame. They’re not too difficult to replace either though.
This ones’s bent pretty bad so I hope it’s an easy enough switch over
Youtube’s got your back.
Work so far has not destroyed me, but there is still time!
Mine is trying today, but We Continue.
About to watch season 3 of The Bear. S1&2 were amazing, 3 was good, so I hope it’s back to amazing for season 4.
My stomach is still being a real piece of work but I am stubborn… I want my health back.
From limited options and aiming to get more vitamin B12 I’ve invented dairy free “Doritos”.
What is a dairy free dorito
I accidentally put my Myki card in the wash with my jeans. Need to take PT tomorrow, do you think it’s going to work?
possibly
I used to accidentally wash various cards over the years (is this money laundering? har har) and nothing happened, so you should be fine I reckon
Yes, no problem. The washing machine will not affect the chip embedded within the plastic of the card.
I felt we were really cheated by autumn this year which is why winter feels much more miserable than before. It’s not even July and I’m already over this shit
Put the blinds completely down last night to get a truly good night’s sleep and it worked a bit too well, I’m struggling to get out of bed. But there is more reading and writing to do, and crucially, a presentation at 2 (that I have yet to rehearse)
At least I’m not feeling anxious like I was last night. I’m giving myself until 9:30 and then it’s action stations! 🦾
I was just thinking that this morning, I felt like we didn;t really have a nice or decent amout of autumn this year.
I go by 2 seasons. Good drying day and inside drying day.
100% agree with autum.
It was too warm and then straight to winter.
No chance to enjoy the coolness for a proper amount of time.
I could tell because I went straight from summer clothes to rugging up like an Eskimo.
Same, didn’t get much of a chance to just wear long sleeved clothes without additional layers or mid-weight jumpers etc. Just went straight from t-shirts to puffer jackets it seems like.
Went from shorts and t-shirt to trackies and hoodie, without the usual shorts+hoodie combo.
Turned the heating on very early this year.
Dream:
Friends with people running a Christian school. I have no fucking idea what was going on lol
I remembered my dream which is rare:
I inadvertently touched a coworkers boob with the back of my hand when moving past her in a crowed room. Turned back to her and apologised, thought that would be that.
Few days later my manager tells me that I’ve had an HR complaint by this person that I intentionally punched them in the boob violently.
Ended up meeting with one of the top HR people to try to explain myself.
That’s about all I remember but it was stressful 😬We need a book based on your dreams. Or an Inception type movie.
It’s funny. When I used to listen to white noise going to sleep I wouldn’t dream as vividly, or even remember them.
But now I sleep in silence, the dreams are wild lol

damn, up an hour earlier than I thought again
Good morning. It’s dark.
Here in this universe it is still rather bright outside. I have yet to remove the sun.
Where are you?
Where the sky is never dark
Bacon has transcended our reality
Probs chilling in the deli fridge with the rest of the bacon.
They never turn the lights off fully
You are the sunshine in our lives.

aww, Ted’s such a cutie, he won’t start his brekkie until he’s had lots of pats.
