100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day  34 of 100

Today’s intentions:

》Steps 5-8 for paper

》Driving Lesson for my Brother ✓

》Fix the family dropbox ✓

》Read a senior thesis comic I forgot about (I’m sorry) :/    ✓

Hey there everyone, welcome to the beginning of the week, the beginning of the month, April Fool’s, and Easter Sunday! I ended up helping a friend go dress shopping and hit up a Mexican restaurant after. Then I ate binge-ate candy. Surprisingly no sugar hangover the next day, but I’m definitely sore from my first day back using gym equipment again.

I’m eating not too shabby today, drank a lot of water, washed my face. Taking care of my small to-dos and now I’m onto my bigger one. I’m just saying I’m definitely off to a great start this month which is great, because I’m off to do good things this month.

Edit (4/2/18): So for the first time in a long time, I manage to concentrate and get work done on my paper for about 3-5 hours (I didn’t actually successfully keep track of my time, but that’s good in this case because I was just gettin’ ‘er done). I am happy that I was able to grind for so long and really only hear my voice in my head and less so the really awful ones that prevent me from working long before I burn out for the next two weeks.

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day  19 of 100

Just wanted to celebrate me hitting 100 DAYS ON DUOLINGO! A small victory, but it proves that if one keeps trying. they can get farther. I kept CONSTANTLY getting close to 30 days then messing up. Then last year I hit 30 days…then messed up again soon after….and instead of getting disheartened, my vet heart to this situation went for it again and….here I am. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, I have kept going. And thus, I have gotten farther than before :)

If you haven’t noticed….I’m here for one thing, doing this challenge for a paper. I’ve been having a really rough time emotionally getting it done. This paper is a dead end. I’m squeezing blood out of a turnip.  So my intention today is to kinda get back to that. Currently it 10PM my time. And I’m at a starbucks because there’s no such thing as getting this paper done at home. But I have to get home soon.    

So….we shall see if I actually end up getting this done.

Today’s intentions:

》Read an article and make notes on it 

》 Get to 100 words   

I’ll update later.

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day 57 of 100

So I definitely got my battery pack from my friend ONLY to leave my phone charger at their house. Wow, I just can’t resist needing an excuse to see my friend :’D

Feeling REALLY good about today. Les’go

Today’s intention(s):

》Work for 4 hours on paper

》Prepare for trip (laundry, clean car, clean room, pack, make medical call)

》Workout/shower

made myself a loose-ish schedule:

1pm--->Find other phone charger

       ---Respond to literary chat

2pm outline paper(better

3pm call medical insurance

4pm  continue outline on paper

5pm laundry | make bed

6pm clean car | charge phone

Let’s see, I feel very confident in my ability and have eaten much better today for my energy levels so we shall see. Also I think I’m going to finish Spanish duolingo within the next month, so that feels pretty good. From there I’ll just continue leveling up these crowns.

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day 55 of 100

I just wanted to let y’all know Duolingo is my wingman (not that I will EVER say these things to people. Maybe like a significant other I’ve known a long time >>)

I just called the mental health hotline, not for myself! But for some poor soul outside of a Starbucks screaming at the sky. Apparently he was there several hours before they finally called the police. I talked to the police to tell him he just seemed really sad, and maybe had a mental health issue or a very bad day, but mostly he just needed someone to talk to. Police officer had a chat with the person and the person seemed to get better. I hope the person feels better.

Today’s intention(s):

》Data Citations

》Work with “blistering intensity” on edits for 1:30

》Edits

So, that schedule yesterday got blown out of the water, but I did end up becoming productive at the very end of the night, so....?

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day 54 of 100

Flower petal pressing today. It’s been awhile so I’m excited and documented accordingly. Yay me.

Today’s intention(s):

》Small description for all my figures 

》Data Citations

》Work with “blistering intensity” on edits for 1:30

》Vacuuming

》Apparently planning a staycation for next week

I remember a couple of days ago I mentioned anxiety medication. So it’s only been like three or four days but I actually started taking anxiety medication prescribed to me back when I had a safety issue (it was no bueno and the psychiatrist concurred it was affecting me pretty bad). So there’s that. I also took my vitamin today. There’s....no affect that I can detect yet from the medication but we shall see. I remember what happened the first time around so I will see how it affects me.

I’m hoping to get my figures done and citations so I can send out the second half to my friends tonight

weeee

Also it felt good to be able to vacuum. I need to step up my rehab game though with my hand. So maybe less vacuuming. Ahwell.

Ideal Schedule today(Will update on progress later):

4pm | Work on Figures

530  | Work on Data Citations

6       | Go home if people are home

7       | Data Citations

8       | Pimsleur, stationary bike.

9       | Work ass off on edits

1030 | Goof off relentlessly.

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day 53 of 100

Firepit fire. Mmmmm. Much warm.

Today’s intention(s):

》Bonfire day.

Not going to lie, I was actually very frustrated I got NOTHING done yesterday. My morale gets very, so very, BLOWN apart, when people in my life come in and mess up the schedule  set up for my day. This sucks.

But, I did schedule this bonfire day. And having this bonfire day was good to have. It was a bit strange with certain people (haha) but definitely enjoyable. I also really appreciate my friends who offer, but don’t pressure me, to smoke some of their weed. I have never tried and am just not compatible with weed (I can get MASSIVE migraines from it, so I stay downwind. Which is ironic because one friend smokes for his migraines...but I digress). Either way, morale slightly raised because at least I got my main intention for the day done! Woo!

Also I’m picking up steam in Duolingo! Getting used to this “crown” update and I quite like it. It means I’ll finish the last of the lessons (I’m predicting I’ll finish the entire course, after ~6 years, by the end of May). From there, because I’ve already built this habit, I’ll continue raising the crowns for each Spanish topic, but at least now I’ll be done, which is cool....I’ll just be deepening my Duolingo practice. My friend just told me she can listen to Spanish speakers just fine, perfect understanding, she just speaks slow. I’m hoping to be like that by the end of this year. Here’s hoping.~

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day  47 of 100

Hm. Wow, I’m definitely not....uhh...where I want to be. Aka done. Please writer gods let me be done. Also plans with my family are always being rearranged because my grandparents are always doing not great. It’s not easy.

Today’s intention(s):

》Stretch ✓

》Laundry✓

I ended up not doing anything writing-wise today. A bit too exhausted, mentally. Which is very frustrating considering how I used to be able to jam out much longer study sessions than this. It’s hard combatting the occasional mental-assertion that I am kinda...as useful as a small potato). Good news is I did my Duolingo a lot today. Slipped up twice this week so no bueno.

Also the book is Artemis by Andy Weir.

100 INTENTIONAL THINGS: Day  46 of 100

Me, ‘shocked’ that I’m once again picking up another book after I just returned three that I didn’t finish getting through(though for yoga purposes), and I’m already reading another ebook from my library. All da books. I get around.  I love this National Library Week, libraries have been involved in interesting points of my life, man.

Look at the beautiful sunset from last night after I got out of Zumba!

Definitely slowing down on my paper, but...there’s also less to do now???

Today’s intention(s):

》Fix Figures (1.5 hr)

》Data Citations (1.5 hr)

》Doublecheck/Fix Citations (.5 hr)

》Schedule oil change, schedule wax, schedule l. consultations, fill out credit card fraud alert

》Stretch

I got blisters from Zumba last night and my inner thighs (adductors, yay me learning muscle groups) are pretty sore so maybeeeee no zumba today. We shall see.
