✨️ Daily Card: IV of Pentacles 🎵 Run Rabbit - Mollie Elizabeth 📖 Swordheart - T. Kingfisher

My new term started yesterday so it's time to lock back in. I'm having such a better time on my new medication it's actually crazy. I've had such a rough time with meds that I was starting to wonder if any anti depressants would work for me.

I only have 8 classes left in this degree, and when planned out I anticipated taking 16 weeks out of my 26 week term. However, for my first class, I'm already through my weeks to-do list in one day. So my timeline may be too long. I think when I finish, I can just request to graduate then but I probably need to ask how that works.

So excited to finally graduate this year after starting college as a junior in highschool back in 2018.

I'm gonna try to post more frequently but we will see how that goes.

I also have a book idea/project planned. Though I'm sure my timeline plan for that is very ambitious. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to work full time or in my field (disability) but maybe I could be an author. Despite it not being in my field, I've actually had a lot of time self managing for this degree since it's online and self paced. Interesting how all the experiences and learning in your life feed back into each other like a web.

Degree Countdown:

I haven't been posting here but I've still been making good progress. I was suffering through my back-end project for a while but I passed it as of today!

So I am 7 credit hours down so far this term. (3 classes out of 14 down!) My goal is to finish my next two classes by the end of this month to be on pace to graduate in this term. Next up is a linux class and a QA report type project.

I also really like how my monthly turned out ✨

New/old med is really working at this dose and I'm just trying to get into a rhythm. I think structure is the theme for my month as I'm trying to build up routines and systems and things.

Literally nothing has changed but things are working again so it's time to cram!

I went for a walk today, finally finished and submitted my advanced java course, and worked 3 hours on OS. I'm going on a trip for my birthday this weekend, so I'm trying to close out what I can of these courses that I've had open for over a month.

I wish I knew why things work when they work, and why they don't work when they don't. But I do know that I gotta just lean in when it's working and trust that progress will be made.

(see more things magically working, yesterday on my birthday I spent so much time on hobbies. Caught up my reading journal, did some new year spreads + a letter to myself next year, read a bunch, finished the crochet project I was stuck on, just all magically possible)

Also contemplating creating some spread dedicated to making lots of art and lots of types of art. Like poetry, writing, crochet, watercolor, video games, etc etc. Some of that is captured in my bingo board for this year, but I want another type of spread. Maybe an art log? or something? I don't know yet

below is my bingo for the year for anyone curious 😊

Year-end wrap-up challenge

✨️ Daily Card: Page of Cups 📖 Read: 22 pages of Annihilation 📚 Productive: DMV appointment to renew my license

I had to go to the dmv today to renew my license and that took most of my strength. It was just emotionally really draining because I was really nervous, and then had to wait like 1.5hrs while nervous. But I survived and now it's done.

also included is the prompt list I curated. I did pull a lot from one list, but softened questions to be less personal so we can share, and also added around 10-14 questions.

Prompt of the Day: something I'm excited for...
