Trying really hard to get in the groove again. The anxiety and dread that comes with my approaching deadlines is not helping in that regard.
Positive things I did today:
kept the duolingo Spanish streak going
cooked a warm meal
went on a walk
literature research for one of my essays
continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front
Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 3hrs Steps taken: ~5.700

Another late update. I hope I get into the habbit of posting these before bed again, it rounds off the day very nicely.
The exam went well! It took me a while because I struggle with staying focused a lot, but I believe we ended up with something presentable!
I didn't do too much besides the exam. In the evening I went for a walk and got Young Mungo. I wanted a Mieko Kawakami book but I want to read her writing in German and they didn't have the German editions. So I went with another one I've been eyeing for a while!
Positive things I did today:
kept the duolingo Spanish streak going
took my history of witch hunts exam
went for a walk
got a pizza (as a treat)
bought a book I've been meaning to read for a while
continued watching Peaky Blinders with my friend
Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 7hrs Steps taken: ~4.300

I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.

I felt a lot better and stopped taking my meds early. That came to bite me in the butt in the evening, so we're back to the meds :')
I did manage to go on a little walk tho! Motivating myself to go for walks is a lot harder whenever I visit my parents because my home town is located in a very hilly area. The city I live in now is mostly flat (also because it's, well, a city and not a small town) and so simply going out (and staying out longer) is, for some reason, easier to justify in my mind. I do, however, love the nature surrounding my home town, so walks are usually worth the exhaustion.
Positive things I did today:
finished literature review for the Hamilton essay and made a writing plan
went for a walk
Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: ~6hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~4.400

And, just like this, we are back in the groove.
After a slow start to the day i managed to get some important tasks done. No progress on essays I need to write, but I've made plans to meet up with a friend at the library tomorrow, so I hope I'll make some progress then.
I edited an essay for my professor and nearly went crazy over it. I enjoy editing a lot and I am very grateful I get to take part in a project, even if it's just in a really small way. But got damn, that one was not pleasant to work through. It used a citation style I am not very familiar with and then didn't even use that one consistently. I had to ask the other student assistant for help. He's been doing the job for a while and he's being very patient and nice, but it was quite anxiety inducing. I am very grateful for his help, tho, and I hope I'm not causing him too much of a hassle.
Besides that today was just more of the usual. Watched Peaky Blinders and am currently getting some reading in before bed.

for those of you who don't know "we should write a paper on this" is equivalent to "we should start a band" in academia
