First Day of School
Aug. 21st, 2017 10:30 amFirst day of school today! I was up early this morning and out of the house by 9:30 and was very proud of myself. My brother starts going to college very soon, so I'm getting up earlier and earlier to train myself to go with him to the university because he has 8 AM classes. I finished reading chapter 1 of my social and behavioral health textbook this morning which is awesome. Only one chapter to go and then I'll be all done with my readings for the week. I mean, as soon as I have my classes I will have more readings but - this feeling of accomplishment is allowed to stay for now.
I got feedback on my new American lit review from two new Americans, so today I'm going to edit that. I'm also going to email the conference guy about finalizing my travel plans and email an HIV stakeholder. Hopefully he will email me back.
I'm trying to eat healthier! This morning I had toast with tomatoes and some basil that's been growing in our kitchen. It was really yummy :)
Journaling my life has been so nice. It's a fun time killer, just getting some thoughts out. It also really makes me consider sharing the positive, because I want to keep things to look at them later? Kind of brightens my mood to look on the bright side of my life.
The stories I'm writing keep not grabbing me. I am pretty stressed, so I know that's kind of why. I think I need to write something more fun. I hope an idea for a story like that comes soon. It's not even that I don't like my current projects because I very much do and I want to finish them. But I might need something more. . .uplifting. Not something that doesn't have a dark sense of humor (because that's just me) but maybe something with a little kick to it, a story about . . .I dunno, romance or a humorous situation or something. I have some good candidates for longer-form more fun character studies and stories but lmao I might also just troll the fandom again to crack myself up. There are more MacDennis tropes that definitely need skewering.
Update: reopening my troll fic was an awesome idea. I'm cracking myself up in public.
