Fleaball and the paper wars - please don't eat the kittens.

[fleaball]

I was going to come up with a theme but then @zenLara gave me this amazing title and I couldn't not use it. Although there is kind of a theme if you squint. It's the last month of the semester and I have five final papers due between now and the 28th. So the whole time management-don't stress-take care of myself thing is kind of important. Otherwise I'll be sitting here screaming into the void at 2am about how screwed I am. (lbr I'll probably do that anyway.)

 

So goals!

 

• Eat 1 vegan meal per day
• Do PT/strengthening/whatever exercises they give me for my sprained ankle at my appointment on 4/5.
• Come up with some kind of scheduling system/time management thing/and stick to it. (This one courtesy of my therapist.)
• Go outside for at least five minutes. Every day. Because I can easily spend entire weekends inside being miserable. Doesn't matter whether it's taking a walk around the block or sitting on the porch at home/quad at school to read or maybe possibly going for a run if the ankle gods smile down me. Just don't spend the entire goddamn day inside.

 

I'm coming for you, finals!!

I am honored 

 

But now you're fated to receive thousands of kitten gifs, mwhahaha!

 

Good luck with the challenge! I especially love the going outside goal. Outside good.

Oh no, however shall I survive? D:

 

Also I swear I will do better at following people this time. The last few challenges I slacked on both friends and random Rebels I'd dropped in on exactly once. >>

I'm here....Love the challenge

[fleaball]

Welp. After a slow start I was super productive today. (Tax stuff submitted to accountant lady! Laundry and dishes done! Bathroom scrubbed out! Entire house vaccumed! Yay adulting!) Except for the fact that I totally didn't do the research I was supposed to do. To my knowledge no one in my group has done it yet either, but that's not really a good excuse. I am proud of myself for the adulting thought and I'm not going to talk myself down from that. 

 

Tomorrow I get to get up at stupid o'clock to drop off my car for service. Not related to the bullshit from a few weeks ago, but other stuff that needs to get done. I was thinkng about parking my butt at a cafe while it's getting done, but I have no idea how long it's going to take AND that would mean showering before I go, which means getting up earlier and also fighting my roommate for the bathroom so meh. I do not like this part of adulting.

 

[fleaball]

I cannot stop laughing at the thread title. 

 

So I washed my sheets today, for the first time in far too long. And I realize I've committed a gross error by not also shaving so I could enjoy the fresh sheets/smooth legs combo that so rarely presents itself. Because I am both lazy and part gorilla.

I'm so tired. D: Woke up at 5 for no reason, eventually got back to sleep, then alarm went off at 7 because I had to take my car to the car doctor. Tried to take a nap when I got home, but my roommate kept texting me about hideously expensive German classes, and then I started googling them, and now I'm ready to curl up and sleep forever. But I can't because work. Also I'm bad at napping. So today will probably not be as productive as I was hoping, but so long as I get done what needs to get done (most of which is on the easy side anyway) I will be happy. 

 

There's a Supernatural convention in DC this weekend. I'm half tempted to see if there are still tickets for tomorrow night's concert so I can be there on the off chance my favorite makes a surprise singing appearance, but a.) it's actually out in Virginia and a pain in the ass to get to and b.) the people who go to conventions scare me. Womp womp.

Why yes, I did spend the last 45 minutes essentially coloring and inhaling Sharpie fumes. Fight me.

I'm so mad at myself. I posted that pic in the Study Hall thread with this comment:

God bless the internet. Totally emailing my roommate a gift certificate to a fancy mediterranean store for her birthday tomorrow. 

 

Y'all I haven't done shit today. Aside from my adventures in coloring, nothing is done and I've been awake for 12 hours already. Okay that's a lie, I've dropped off and retrieved my car and half-finished two of the three things that were supposed to be done today. And found my roommate's gift at the last minute, because I am roommate of the year. But that's not really where I need to be right now. Rawr. 

 

Every time I hear a noise outside I worry about my car. D:

[fleaball]

Welp. Still haven't gotten anything done. Got my critique of a classmate's draft half done. I hate giving feedback, plus she didn't even finish the paper so ugh. Bleh. I've been trying to power through it but I'm failing. Good thing this is zero week and I don't have to stick to my schedule yet.  I'm glad I scheduled tomorrow kind of light assuming there was going to be something happening for her birthday. 

 

Roommate has a friend staying for the weekend who didn't know it was her birthday til just now. Whee. They were asking if I was going out with them. Yooo you can't give me such short notice I am literally in a ratty old tank top and sweatpants I need time to prepare for this shit. But I have to go out tomorrow for her birthday, with this friend, several other friends, some of whom I've only met once and some I've never met, and oh, apparently not her boyfriend that she's breaking up with tomorrow before we go out? Awkward. 

 

And they're talking about relationships and sex and I'm just like "yuuuuuuup" I should probably leave the room but I don't want to be obvious. Like there's no way to casually be like "I feel like I should not be here for your conversation but if I gather up all my shit it will be super obnoxious."

I am in love with passion planner and/or habitica.com for time management. Both have free options on their websites.

I'm in love with bullet journaling for time managment. Or the 3-priorities-method (i totally just made that name up). I hope you find something that works for you. The coloring looks pretty but i can't read what it says on my phone.

I tried Habitica before and didn't like it much, but I see they have an app so I might play with it and see if I can make it work for what I need. Thanks!

Tbh I would spend way too much time just setting up the bujo and not doing the things in it lol. Maybe when the semester is over I will play with one. I think when I edited the image it made the writing a little fuzzy. Each color is a different class, basically, and they just say things like "do readings, edit paper, write lit review," etc. Probably wouldn't make much sense even if it were legible.

It's so fluffy!!!! This thread is possibly going to be the cutest place to hang out for the next month.

I hope you don't feel uncomfortable with a little bit of stalkerage?

 

 

[LadyMonk]

I hope the birthday party thing goes OK today. Look for other people that look like they don't know anyone and make friends. Maybe they will be nerds! (Maybe not, but it might be better than being bored!)

Also, as an alternative planner this is the Facebook page for passion planner. I'm seriously in love with mine! https://m.facebook.com/thepassionplanner/ Its great for color coding, and they've got lots of example planners in the pictures area, to show off how people use it differently.

Anyway, that's my last recommendation, I promise

Stick around long enough and you'll see there's very little that makes me uncomfortable. Welcome to the insanity!

I will definitely keep it in mind when I need a planner for the new school year. If I bought one right now it would drive me crazy having three empty months in the front lol. It does look really awesome though. 

 

My fear was that there would be a giant group going out to a bar/club and I'd just be like "fuck, now what do I do?" But as of right now the plan has become hang out at her boyfriend's (whom she's now NOT breaking up with) apartment, because there's at least 8 of us and would have been a pain to coordinate going out. Or something. I'm just rolling with it at this point. There will be alcohol, so I'll live haha.
