I hope everyone is having a fabulous 2025 so far! I got into a Shakespeare sort of "showcase" and we also just finished shooting a short film for a festival!! exciting start. At the same time, my friend has been struggling hard and as a result I think my mood is lower and stuff, kinda crappy. I'm going to include a list below of non-immediate tasks I need to complete bc otherwise they will not get done.
middle term tasks for me include
getting. a. job.
hair cut (it's tragic atm, damaged as hell)
eye test (incl glasses that change indoors v out maybe?? I get migraines)
(speaking of migraines) getting off migraine meds (they're actually beta blockers and they decrease the efficacy of my anti-depressants AND make asthma worse and they don't do anything???)
filling in all the documentation for exchange (which is why i need to call them bc (despite going to the brief) I am so confused)
Decluttering my belongings (can't move overseas without getting rid of everything I own xx)
go to vet
okk!! hope everyone is enjoying their lives lol, remember to schedule in breaks in all your study sessions etc etc
Sorry guys, fell off the planet (you know how it is)
just a quick to-do while I get back into things today:
run (?)
call exchange people (guaranteed? what is the process?)
check mail
check essay instructions
print poetry sheet
reshoot shovel scene
finish Luther doc

trivia hopefully
well hopefully tomorrow I can do more than just a to-do list. I haven't not been productive, I just haven't had the time or energy to post things because I've had a fair amount on so... anyway I should think of another "challenge" to do
I am so sorry for going AWOL, I've been v depressed and wandering aimlessly with no assessment to do, which I theoretically should be grateful for but lollll
