hello! i’m sick. we are currently in our 3rd week of surgery outside rotation and it has been good. there were good times, but mostly there were bad times. what a thrill to be here. i am rotating in an orthopedic center and we see a lot of dislocated, broken, and crushed bones but we mostly do history and PE, gram stain, ordering of xrays, not suture which is bumming but we love it here. there’s always free food and the residents are so nice! it’s tiring but really really worth it.

You should never have shame about your academic journey. It's a journey. You're growing and learning. You're going to face challenges alone for one of the first times in your life. Shit's hard. It's ok to struggle.

I haven't had a pretty journey at all. I'm graduating with a bachelor's degree at 25. I've been in college nonstop since I was 18. I've failed a lot of classes and had to go part time. So many things have happened. But I will have the degree. And that degree is worth the exact same as someone who got it in 3 years. The knowledge I have is mine to keep.

How I got here doesn't matter. I'm here. I am going to graduate in a few months. I have won this chapter of my life. And to those who try to shame me for how I got here and how long it took, I pray that you never experience the things I have that have made it take long. May you live a life of comfort and luxury and have hands soft as silk until you die. And hopefully I will get the same grace from the universe eventually.

First day of slowly getting back to my studying routine. Today was mostly organizational after my first week of lectures, but I accomplished a few things on my to do list. Tomorrow I will focus on fixing my notes, and maybe start planning everything I have to work on in the next couple of months. I am starting with small steps to get back into the habit and not to go from zero to a hundred and burn myself out again.

some things I did today:

read first thing in the morning

enjoy some good music

planned my to dos for the rest of the week

downloaded a bunch of materials for my class (which is technically a laboratory on modern history)

wrote down the calendar with relevant info for each lecture, and annotated some useful infos for the exam

spent the afternoon with my brother to finish our lotr rewatch and we had such a great time

practiced Irish on duolingo

112 Days of Uni [32/112]

🌒18/04/24🌔

Spent the morning at the mall today and then ran some errands after lunch. Started to work on my thesis at around 15:30 after cleaning the bun's bathroom and didn't stop till after 18:30. Also got the itch to chop off my hair again into a long-ish bob so if that happens in the next week or so don't be surprised. On another note, bought a mirror that may or may not be haunted at an inka market

Traits I’ve Noticed in Confident People 

Disciplined - if a target is set, it is achieved 

Speaking - Can speak multiple languages. Can express thoughts clearly even if vocabulary is limited. The listener understands their point. 

Strong extroversion socially - can approach and talk to new people with ease, but also make them feel comfortable. Good at following up, asking questions and inserting little stories about themselves without exposing too much 

Strong general knowledge / industry knowledge. They know what they’re talking about 

Hard to please but not arrogant about it. They won’t readily accept a fact or opinion, even if the majority agrees - they’ll debate with it, think over it, play the devil’s advocate

Good posture

Strong set of principles and self control. There’s no shame in wanting to say, help someone, choose not to drink socially, buy a coffee for a poor person on the street; they don’t hesitate to do good deeds 

Hygienic. Clean, groomed, well dressed, well maintained. 

Observant and proactive at the same time. Can pick up on body language relatively easily - can sense discomfort or unease in someone and do something about it. 

Have a strong sense of self identity. Can be opinionated but open to challenges.

you're smart enough to know the difference between resting and rotting. you'll be happier when you choose to spend your time off restoring your energy and preparing for the next busy day instead of oversleeping and mindlessly consuming content.

friendly reminders:

you don't have to be productive every day

you are worthy even if all you did today was get out of bed

there are people out there who care about you

your existence makes a difference

if something bothers you, then it bothers you. no one has the right to tell you otherwise

you are allowed to take up space

there is no 'right way' to grieve

you cannot put a time limit on emotions

your likes and interests are valid and they matter

it's okay to take your time in doing things. not everyone can do everything at the same pace

why would you settle?

you know you can change your hair color to your ideal color, right? have an s/o that looks exactly like your celebrity crush, bro you could literally have your celebrity crush, you know this right?? you know this, have the knowledge of all of this but you're settling for the dollar store version?? why?? never ever settle for anything less than what you want, because I promise you that you deserve every last bit of what you want, you deserve that life, you deserve that love, you deserve that comfort, all you really need to do is trust and believe that you have your desire that is literally all you have to do and everything instantly conforms, you don't need to change anything just sit back relishing in the emotions of having your desire no lie no nothing that's it, never settle for anything less than what you want.

hello, loves

i've got a coffee by my side as i write this and oh my has school been busy. i've only been back three days so far and i have mountains of homework already. luckily, i know what i have to change with my study habits to be more efficient.

since i go to school pretty far away, i have to leave home at 6:55 each morning. this morning is an exception-- i don't have to take the bus since my dad is dropping me at the station. hence, today's morning post.

i hope that my posting hasn't been too boring while i've been inactive. i have a magazine post scheduled for saturday. issue one!

yesterday i got my immunisations done (i can't remember what they're for). both of my arms are so horribly sore and i don't know how i'm going to manage with training this arvo. i also feel incredibly exhausted. last night i passed out (to sleep) at 7pm.

anyways, i should probably get going--start getting ready for school.

i hope you all have a wonderful day.

❤️ joanne
