How wonderful to be alive!

Hi! I'm Jess, I'm 22, and technically I study Liberal Arts and Sciences, but my major (is that what you call it? here we call it "main direction") is in math, so that's what I'm focused on.

Currently trying to get back on track with my studies after recovering from being seriously ill for a year. But I'm slowly making progress!

I'll tag original posts as #my stuff, and diary entries as #diary entry. All of my tags on this post to make sorting easier.

Hobbies: sewing (by hand), playing piano, reading, knitting, drawing, swimming

Today I went to see a friend :) We hung out and cooked pasta.

In the past few days I kinda forgot to post, partially because I've been having little mental breakdowns about some social stuff in my life. Not relevant to this blog though, so I will not be getting into that right now.

We had a really great thunderstorm on Wednesday!! We haven't had many in quite a while so I was super excited :D

Other than that, I've had a productive few days (except for today which was a dedicated friend hangout day). I've been cleaning my room and studying and making progress with the student housing organisation. I have an appointment on Monday for the organisation to get to know me, so hopefully I'll hear more by then about when I can expect to be able to move out by. Exciting!

Achievements:

- 2 hr studying Wednesday, 2 hr studying Thursday

Today I had my first meeting with my new autism mentor. She seems nice enough, but I of course still really hope my old mentor gets better and is able to come back. Communication with the student housing organisation continues. They've been really quick to reply, so hopefully we'll get some good news soon!

This morning I went for a swim. It was nice, I haven't been in the pool in a while and I definitely missed it. Afterwards meeting with my autism mentor. Then some studying, and I cooked dinner for my family, chicken pot pie this time.

Today's achievements:

- Went swimming

- 1 hr studying

Today I got started on my catch up work for Calculus and Linear Algebra. And I went to the gym in the morning. Other than that, I didn't study for very long, and not too much else happened today. Tomorrow I have a meeting with me autism mentor, so hopefully we'll be able to make some progress on Project Moving the Fuck Out then.

Today's achievements:

- Went to the gym

Today I went to the birthday party of one of my friends! We had a picknick and got Korean food afterwards. I got to meet some of his friends, and also got some sewing done while I was there. Other than that not a very productive day, but they don't all have to be. Hanging out with friends and enjoying the summer in a park was great :)

Today's achievements:

Yesterday and today I didn't do much. Today I woke up late, saw Project Hail Mary in the cinema (for the second time), and hung out with my mom and her friend when I came back. We played some card games and ate pasta, it was fun. This evening I also managed to work on repairing my pyjamas pants just a little.

Today's achievements:

Today I contacted the organisation that will (hopefully) help me get a student housing placement. I got a reply, and found out that I somewhat misunderstood the rules about the placement, and also might not have all the required proof to apply. So that's not great. But I've sent an email back with some questions, so hopefully I'll hear back from them by Monday.

Other than that, I practiced piano today, and cooked dinner for my family. Red curry, it was tasty :)

Today's achievements:

- Contacted the student housing organisation

Today I made a plan for catching up in Calculus and Linear Algebra, and set up my Notion study pages with everything I'll need to stay organized while I catch up.

I also finally qualify to get placed in student housing! So I will be sending an email about that tomorrow. Really looking forward to hopefully moving out soon and not having to live with my abusive dad anymore :)

Anyways, this morning I enjoyed some coffee in a cafe and made some progress reading Song of the Cell. This evening I also tried to practice piano, but I was way too tired to focus.

Today's achievements:

- Read some of Song of the Cell
