12/05/20 — I have been working on my novel again (finally!) after a long period of writer’s block and it’s been great! I completed the timeline, came up with an explanation for the one thing that didn’t make sense yet and wrote a couple pages. Apart from that I’ve been reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy and I need to note again that Tolstoy is one of my absolute favourite authors. The preparation for the architectural program I’m starting in October is going well too, so with the exception of my frankly quite terrible mental health everything’s going really well!

April 8th // I finished reading The Secret History today and the ending was expected, yet unexpected in some way. Now, as always after finishing a book I’m left without a clue what to do next.

April 19th // There’s been an unforeseen change of events. It’s apparently rather unlikely that I’ll make much money at all during architecture school because the university that offers the program is so expensive my potential employers probably won’t pay me (much) during the seven semesters of studying because the policy is that they pay for the university. I’d much rather have my parents pay for university (and I’m very blessed that we’d have no problem affording it) and get payed by the employer instead because one of the reasons I want to change to architecture school is my wish to move out and be independent. I’ll have to talk to my parents about this. They’ve payed for private school for me before and it wasn’t that much less than this so maybe we can figure out an arrangement. But this is not how I expected/hoped for this to go since I was really hoping to not have to rely on my parents anymore. On a more positive note, I might go to work again tomorrow if I want to and I’m happy to have something to do other than reading, watching shows on Netflix/Prime and studying for history and psychotraumatology (which is an elective I chose this year to learn more about my own brain and the treatment options of ptsd and trauma-induced disorders),

April 5th // I had a great day today. The Secret History is keeping me occupied and I don’t ever want to stop reading again. I’ve posted about my application for architecture school about a month ago, today I realized I missed something with the application and didn’t actually apply back then so I applied today. I’m a bit stupid, I dare say. But I noticed so wish me luck again lmao.
