Updates and stuff
Jan. 8th, 2019 03:39 pm I've been kind of not going to sleep when I should and sleeping away most of the day to my family's worry. I felt like I had to call a press conference to let everyone know that I'm not worried or depressed in any way.
I was knocked down a bit on my ass when the IB results came out due to me predicting better grades for my student and they kind of fell short. To be honest, they are decent grades and she can still get into the universities that she wants, but I felt like I had failed her somehow? Until I got it through my head that I did as much as I could for a first year teacher and to come in to fix a mess already in the making that could have sunk her, yeah.
I then just stayed up too damned late reading. Someone wrote this gorgeous German Wars of religion Quiobi and I had to finish it. It was worth it.
The problem now is that I am getting sick. I should have gotten my flu shot! I've got a sore throat, sniffly and just exhausted in general.
But I had to do some paperwork after my friend texted me about going into Malaysia without her work Visa. So I stayed up to do that. It's a relief to get all that stuff sorted out and my CV and Cover Letters as well as references and certificates uploaded and scanned. It was weighing on my mind, tbh.
I promised myself a break before I really went to look for work in earnest, but I wanted to have all my stuff prepped and ready to go just in case I found the break a bit too long and I saw something good in the meantime.
I also did some correspondence and am writing to try and unsnarl the fact that I got knocked on my ass last week and it took a bit to get over it again. So far so good.
I do need to put in some work on my WIP. I did some art stuff earlier. Ahsoka has become my muse for all these pinups I want to draw with her.
Reading-Working through Sepulchre too slowly for my taste. But I finished two books. The Mortal Engines and The Secret Place. Both were just meh to me for some reason. I can't put my finger on why I didn't find either of them as satisfying as I had hoped.
So that's it for the time being. I should be going to bed soon. 200 words is all I can hope for today.
