Got off my ass and worked out even though I wanted to do literally everything else instead. (I absolutely hate working out. I've been doing it for ten months and I still hate it. But I want the results.)
Im proud of myself for convincing my mum to wear a tuxedo for my schools formal. Its a step in the right direction for me to feel more comfortable
Not today, exactly, but yesterday I completed my last A-level exam! So I guess I'm proud of not dying or collapsing during my exams. As for today, I made sea-salt and Nutella cookie bars. They taste pretty good!
Since I hadn't done it the previous couple days, a combo post: - Went out the other evening after work to celebrate a coworker's birthday, it was the first time hanging out with certain coworker's. Despite the noise [it was Dave and Buster's...] and feeling a bit awkward, ended up having a pretty good time considering I didn't know what to really expect or do. - Yesterday should've been an incredibly stressful day at work yesterday, mainly because I kept getting wrangled up in various odd-jobs within my dept. and couldn't take a fifteen-minute break [since it was a half-shift] 'til it was nearly over. Granted it flustered me to talk about it afterward, but in the moment I felt more... tired- than stressed-out or deeply angry. - Will be going to trivia night at a local winery with a close friend of mine and a friend of his this evening. Already hung out with him last week, first time since moving back, so it's: 1) nice that we're getting together again so soon and 2) feeling included. The latter especially, given some doubts I've had about other friendships lately. :/
I edited some clips in GTAV to make some neat videos I was pretty satisfied with. It feels good doing something creative even if it's fucking stupid.
Did my sociology exam today Watched Harry Potter "The philosopher's stone" for the first time whole way through. Currently reading the second book so I can watch the second film.
Packing about 4000 cups in a 10 hour work day. It was a wild ride let me tell you. I also recorded the cutest video of my pet cockroaches imaginable. It was one of those times where the unexpected happened in what would otherwise have been a boring video. XD
Stayed safe even though I had thoughts of self harming for the first time in years. ...And ate properly during the day? Not super fantastic but it is to me
- [The other evening] I contacted my crush about making lunch plans sometime next week. Hasn't been finalised 'cause she didn't know her work schedule at the time, but seemed open to doing so. Looking forward to that, partly 'cause I'm planning to be upfront about what the status is between her and her (possible) ex. - Got to talk with a coworker before leaving today who I've been trying to create a friendship with; mainly difficult 'cause she's an admitted "loner" and we have few chances to chat these days. Enjoyable conversation and fairly balanced, I thought, she even asked whether I was working tomorrow and suggested getting together for break/lunch. Unsure if it'll happen, but that she brought it up felt encouraging.
I'm just proud of getting out of bed and talking to friends and being grateful that I have loving parents.
Just finished formatting the 'References' chapter of my master degree's dissertation. I am crying blood, but it was totally worth it.
