• late august, last days of summer, new semester looming in the distance…. I can feel the autumn in the air.

25th of december,

Update from me! I’ve been busy on the upper GI surgery placement at the hospital, I’ve gotten more comfortable taking comprehensive histories from patients and practising my examination skills. I changed my wallpaper today to signify a change in myself. My driving theory exam is in 17 days and I’m so nervous but trying to study for it and pass on the first go! Very exciting. Also, all the checks are done and I have booked my first shift for my HCA job, I really think it’ll facilitate my learning as well as money! 💗

First of all, happy new year to everyone! I’m sorry I haven’t posted for the past few weeks, I’ve just been tired and overwhelmed lately T-T. Like, I’ve turned in all my college apps but the wait is literally destroying my mental health more and more every day. Ugh, I can’t wait until it’s over.

I’ve been working on my mental health lately tho, and I think I’m (slowly!) getting a bit better! Yesterday was a bad night (I stayed up until like 3 am listening to sad songs and writing fanfics ;-;) and for like two hours this morning I couldn’t even get out of bed, but I encouraged myself to get up and I lowkey just romanticized everything I did, from brushing my teeth to washing my face and it just felt super peaceful. I’m definitely gonna start doing it more often.

I also moved back into school on Sunday! We started out virtual last week bc of COVID and moved back in this week. We have J-Term, so I’m taking a course called Encounters with Trees rn where we basically learn how to identify trees and walk around nature parks and all for a few hours each day. Even though it’s extremely cold and my legs are really achy by the end of it, I’ve really enjoyed them because they give me time to just let my mind wander and think.

I’m also slowly chipping away at my New Year’s Resolutions! My main ones are to lose weight (which I’m currently doing!), work on my mental health and reduce my screen time. I’ve realized that the main reason why I spend so much time on my phone daily is because I read on it, and I’m thinking of asking my mom for a kindle instead of an IPad so I can reduce my phone usage :))

You know you found the right topic for your master‘s thesis when you‘re so hyped about it that you do research on it on semester break, long before you‘re supposed to start working on it :‘)
