Sunny-downpour - Books, Bands And Bad Decissions

A flawless plan, as always

One of my favorite hobbies is thinking about the fucked up implications of this fantasy world map my parents got me for christmas

Another not so great day. Sometimes bad days, unproductive days, days that make you feel sad and lonely, just pile up. Sometimes you have four, five, twelve of them right back to back, and sometimes you have none for months. But regardless of how frequent they are, eventually they'll pass and you'll go back to calm days, to productive days, to happy days.

Positive things I did today:

kept the duolingo Spanish streak going

called my parents

did the laundry

tried baking cookies (and failed horribly)

played minecraft with a friend

Hours slept: ~7hrs Screentime: 6hrs Steps taken: ~900

More literature review and spending lots of time outside.

Building and keeping routines has always been a struggle for me. It works during the semester because I build my personal routine (when to get up, when to have food, when to do chores) around my classes, but during the semester break it all falls apart :') So for the past week I've been making an effort to get up at a reasonable time and head outide right after getting ready. It's done wonders both for my productivity as well as my mental health

Positive things I did today:

kept the duolingo Spanish streak going

continued literature review

continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front

went for a walk

Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 5hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~8.900

It was another inside day, so I can't offer you pretty pictures this time. Instead, enjoy these screenshots of the massive basement farm I've been building in minecraft for the past couple of weeks :')

Monday I absolutely have to get into the groove again. Essay deadlines are staring me down and I wanna make progress before the anxiety kicks in.

Positive things I did today:

did the dishes first thing in the morning

cleaned the bathroom

whiped the floors

washed the sheets

played minecraft with a friend

Hours slept: ~10hrs 30mins Screentime: 4hrs Steps taken: ~700
