“how’s the semester going?”

[medicallybl0nde]

My brain has been ADHD fog for like a month straight, I literally had one assignment 2 weeks overdue & one due earlier today that I hadn’t even started. and I somehow just smashed both out in 4 hours and emailed the prof with some serious explaining & possibly fixed this semester that I thought i’d killed (taking my future career in medicine with it). Now I’m up to date and can work on attempting to kind of, in some way, salvage my actual learning and get through as many missed lectures as I can.

(also non study related, I finally went to my GP today after 6 months of meaning to go & I got a new prescription for birth control, a referral to the plastic surgeon I want to do my breast reduction, and a referral to a dermatologist for some issues that have been bugging me for the l o n g  e  s t time that I didn’t think were fixable until today when I mentioned it to my GP and she went “Oh I can send you to a dermatologist for that! I know one that specialises in this” and I was like bitch are you telling me I could have sorted this out ages ago. So then I went home and told my phone anxiety to screw itself and phoned to book an appointment straight away.)

Such a productive day,

phattest sigh of relief coming out this mouth rn.

“I will always want myself. Always. Darling, I wrote myself a love poem two nights ago. I don’t know where you get this from but I am whole; woman who grows flowers between her teeth. I tend to my garden. I dance myself out of pain. You think women like me crawl for pity? You ever seen the offspring of a lion eat grass? This wanting of myself gets stronger with age. I host myself to myself. I am whole.”

How to deal with the new normal

Accept your new routine - the measures that were put in place are here for our own good and anger won't bring back our old lives, it will only make us less happy

Catch up on news two times a day - although it is important to be informed, it is very important to not get overwhelmed and panicked

Take advantige of opportunites you have - take online courses in something you have always been interested in (coursera has a ton of free courses), learn a new skill or brush up on an old one, workout, read books you haven't had a chance to

Relax - although a lot of still have a lot of obigations regarding work and school, we still have more free time than we would otherwise and there is apsolutely nothing wrong with doing nothing with it

Connect with family - a lot of us are back home or surrounded by our loved ones more than we would be otherwise, talk, have movie nights, game nights, cook together...

Connect with yourself - spend some time everyday on your own, without any distactions, meditate, journal, write down your feelings, thoughts and wishes

Find a new purpose - for a lot us our day's, week's or life's purpose was going to school or work and we can feel lost without that. That's why it can be beneficial to find a project to put more energy in and that's going to get you out of bed in the morning like running a blog, writing a novel, getting in shape..

Be grateful - you are still here, you are alive and breathing. Make sure to think of at list 3 things you are grateful for every day

71/100 Days of Productivity

03/12/2017 || clean desk, clean mind

Thoughts sort of sorted and already excited for tomorrow’s art/Art studies exam!

[medicallybl0nde]

I wanna travel the world and volunteer and do research internships and go to med school and get a PhD and win awards and write novels and do things and it feels like I have no time but I have all the time in the world, it’s just the pressures

[medicallybl0nde]

I can’t believe I wrote this and then 3 days later lockdown started and now I really do have all the time in the world apparently

I used to be so jealous of people with pretty notes because I thought it was an indication that they were smart and knew everything 🙃

I am now aware, that they are in fact, just the same amount of idiot as me; but with brush pens.

after a summary observation, I have concluded that most elements of the periodic table combine to make two types of potions you can consume:

-potion of kill you (slow)

-potion of kill you (fast)
