30.9 - halloween eve + rabbits :)

Today was a pretty chill day at uni I had one lecture at nine, then some online stuff and directed learning. There was a rabbit talk happening at my uni to do with rabbit surgery and medicine so I stuck around for that - they were offering bagels. Apart from that today was very chill I was able to talk to my mum and some really good news my laptop will be available to use in 4 days :D

To do list:

- ICA PSQ (formative)

- BOC essay

- ICA PSQ (summative)

the first real experience I've had of being fascinated by technological developments in adulthood is getting on a bus that has charging ports in the seats and a screen displaying the route with an announcer.

everything that runs on electricity has refused to cooperate this week. the self check out machine shut down as i was scanning things bc its cameras became convinced that i was trying to rob walmart of a two dollar bag of instant mashed potatoes while i was scanning them. IT installed a new computer in my office that i did not want nor ask for and naturally it's horrible and i spent hours messing with it to make it tolerable again. the program i use all day every day for work has had server issues so just keeps crashing or refusing to start and IT's response is a shrug emoji. the new computer does not like my printer and the whole thing had to be reinstalled. one of my apps was glitchy on my phone and nothing worked so i uninstalled and reinstalled it only to discover that i made that account under an email address that no longer exists so i lost my account and had to rebuild from scratch. my own laptop decided to update and i wasn't fast enough on the postpone update button and so spent an entire evening undoing all the AI and bloatware nonsense it installed. the update also fucked up my audio drivers so i've been trying to fucking fix those all night. i am so close to spending the rest of the week just reading by candlelight to avoid anything that runs on electricity right now.

It’s really cool and sexy to leave for work over an hour early, have one bus be outrageously late, and end up having to take three buses for the low low price of being half an hour late : ^ )

Me seeing everyone posting their selfshiptober things like how do you manage to crank out something new every day😭 /nm Meanwhile I don't even find the time to sit down in peace to read them🥺 I hope I can eventually but it will probably be more or less belated

I started my master's programme a few weeks ago and most classes have been really fun and interesting so far! But I'm also trying to keep up with assignments from the beginning on, so my hobbies get pushed back a bit🥲 (Plus I still have my bachelor's exam to do at the end of this month so yay that'll probably be some additional stress too) Unfortunately though my usual train route got completely fucked over in the floodings last month (and the repairs will likely take literal months which sucks massively💀), and although they finally set up a replacement bus line it doesn't help that much because the times are super inconvenient for most of my classes, because I'd either be late every time or like almost an hour early (but not enough to actually use the time productively) and it would just waste so much time - same for going home because the bus usually leaves like <10 minutes after my classes and and that's not enough time to walk to the station. Unless I want to waste a lot of time I have to drive on most days now and although I can manage it just annoys me because it was usually much more comfortable to go at least part of the way by train before all of this (plus more driving = more fuel usage = more costs💀).

At least I think I'm starting to get better again with my time management though; I struggled quite a lot with it during the past year which I believe was mostly caused by my overall mental well-being not being great, mostly due to stress, and that kind of spiralled a bit because the less I worse I could manage my time the more stressed I became🫠 Now I started again to write time plans for every day, like the evening before I sit down and think about everything that I need to do and time-block things (eg from 9:00 to 11:00 I'm working on my compositing assignment, from 11:00 to 13:00 I have time to draw), and it's been helping me so much like holy shit?? I actually already used to do this like 2 years ago or so and I honestly don't understand why I stopped because when I did everything kinda turned to worse. I try to not overdo it though, like sometimes I'll also just write something like "free time" or "chilling" so I can decide more spontanously depending on my mood, but overall it just helps me so much because otherwise I'm way too stressed thinking over all the things I should do or could do, and I just sit there thinking about doing things but not actually doing them. But having a prewritten plan where these thoughts are actually sorted and that I can also look up anytime just makes it so much easier, plus it's very satisfying to click that little checkbox every time I'm done with something :)

Hm I've been having a hard time lately with my art, I feel like I'm asking something of it that it can't quite give me, at least not through the processes I usually articulate it through. I don't know what style I need to push for, or what subjects, I rather only know the themes or sensations I want to express and hazy at that

two days in a row has my bus not show up, and there wasn’t an alert on cancellation whatsoever and i was late to work. Like, a bus just did not showed up and i’d have to catch the next bus that comes 25 min later.

it’s so frustrating…. i guess i’m lucky the route i take has a bus every 25 min and not 1 hour????

Now, I'm not saying the doctor I'm seeing today has a reputation for eye-watering long waitibg room times. Or that Germany has very odd ideas about what efficient rail plans are once you leave any given metropolis.

I'm not saying any of that.

I'm just saying, this felt like the right book to start reading today.
