But it’s nice that your school will dedicate the day for a uni fair and at least educational films, still better than maths tests like we used to have I think they are having a film and a few actual classes, I am sure none of them are going to write a test on that day ... they can also volunteer with the presentations for the primary schoolers who will visit our school. 10 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: Well I’m enjoying the fact that some of my extra small jeans are getting too tight, so that should be a motivator to keep at it. One of these days I may even hit my pre Covid golden age weight and have a healthy BMI And I am here with my jeans which are getting decidedly too tight - I had to buy a size bigger than usual the last time I went shopping. I gained some weight in the past few years and I don't like it. I am trying at least to eat less sweets. 10 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: yay for a productive day! There’s nothing like going to bed with fresh linen on..! Just feels and smells so nice. Oh I need to buy a new bed linen set as well (I accidentally shrunk a duvet cover in the washing machine). Hope the weekend’s been going great! The weekend was fine, I met with some friends whom I haven't seen in a long time. One of the friends finished his PhD and celebrated, so we got together. Just a short week in front of us ... but then I already got a class to substitute for somebody tomorrow, so well, some extra work again. Oh well.

In the past four years I just couldn’t put on weight for my life no matter what I did, some shit or the other hit the fan and I lost the couple pounds I gained over months overnight. Really really determined to put on at least 5 more pounds this year. Sweets are the most difficult to eliminate, I feel you there.

They are just too rare these days. 30s, I guess… or I don’t have enough friends who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supposed to be when I started, but that book is very old and manky looking. I'd expect part 2 to be the cleanest least worn book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 *pokes thread* So how is ... anybody still reading this thread? I am this close to finishing my dissertation. Really stressed about that whole thing these days, but I am finally optimistic about finishing this whole ordeal. I just need to get feedback from my advisor and the commitee, I hope I won't have much to redo and correct at this point. Work is obviously stressful as always, but I am handling it. I guess. Spring is here too and it is unbelievably warm for the beginning of April right now. RhaenysBee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are slaying that dissertation, I’m sure it’ll be finished for good soon. How will you celebrate? spring is the same, in that it’s essentially summer. I’ve never been a huge fan of the heat, especially its coming on so suddenly and since hormone therapy, I’m even less so. But I really enjoy the sun, the birds chirping, the blue skies. I’m doing fine, I’ve been back on a reading streak and had luck with picking some really lovely books too. Took a little Easter trip to Italy with my dad and his new crew. It reminded me that I actually love traveling I just can’t really afford it anymore I also got through a very stressful work period and now the back pain it yielded is beginning to subside as well (at least I’m hoping the back pain was stress related, not anything else - but just in case, beside the hoping, I’m awaiting a CT scan too). And so the whole ordeal yields more than extra trips to the doctor’s, I’m hyping myself to ask for a raise. Which I don’t expect to get, but it should at least train me to be braver in life. I also regularly swim now, and i don’t get how and why I lived without this thing for 17 years.

Don't talk about it too quickly, first I have to actually finish the thing and then think about celebrating.

Mostly, I am on the "mandatory reading for my students" reading list. We only had Easter Monday off, so no real chance of a longer trip. Maybe in summer I will manage to travel some - hopefully after I've finished the dissertation. Work is stressful here too, as always. Good luck with the raise! Fingers crossed you get it. And congratulations on doing more sport. I should do that too. At some point ... as I keep telling myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
