everyday gets better

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome back to meeee joining my own studyblr again. I'm just starting the huge prospect of writing my thesis and am looking for the motivation and drive to keep on it. I've often struggled with self motivated work and doing an entire Masters thesis during COVID is kind of ... A lot of that. So I'm planning on posting here, connecting with others working hard on school and see how we can all lift each other up! Hoping you all are having a wonderful Tuesday. Today I'm working on getting all my files organized, my document set up for lit review and having Zotero running! 💛

"Since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"

Starting to focus on what I can get done in the rest of the year!!!

1) Finish thesis proposal

2) Run a 5k

I want to stop fucking up so much. And just smarten up and live.

Eat good food.

Exercise.

Be a good worker.

Focus on learning.

AND feed my social self. But learn to be self-sufficient. Look to others as enriching and joy-bringing. Not as a light to stave off darkness and anxiety.

Feeling stressed about underachieving lately, and I think today is the time to turn that around.

Energy and persistence conquer all things. Benjamin Franklin.

Peace is our gift to one another. Elie Weisel.

I live in a fog cloud, but I have my coffee so it's all good. 💛

Meetings, training, paper topic selection.✨

I love perusing libraries and finding all the strange nooks and crannies that exist. Spent hours here today.

Received some disappointing news, but I'm am invigorated and excited for other opportunities. Failure leads to more drive and more willingness to put myself out there and succeed.

Counselling practice, class, hosting office hours, trying to have a social life and visiting with family. It's official. Deeply considered naps multiple times today. Bless the weekend coming. 😍

My audition song is, appropriately, stuck in my head. Six hours of class, one hour of work, two hours of studying and ramen with friends makes this a perfect day. Time to memorize my monologue before I go to sleep. 💛

"Be present." - My friend giving life advice 💛

Filled out employment forms, chose my monologue and song, and read my book for book club. Also, made a card for a friend who is coming back into town. 💛

I spent some productive friend time today at this super cute dessert cafe! We planned some events and caught up about life. Feeling like a bit of a mess though, with lateness. Being so busy I feel like I'm always running madly from appointment to appointment. I'm starting a no-lateness challenge today, which I'll track along with productivity. 💛 Hope you're doing well!
