~✧°+* 40/100 days of doing better*+°✧~

While my sister started school again yesterday, my brother only started again today. Obviously, I am just as proud of him as I am of my sister! He also graduated earlier this summer but will continue to go to school for 3 more years in order to get his Abitur (secondary school diploma which enables you to go to university in Germany). He's actually going to my old school now, which I am probably more excited about than he is!
Because it was the first day I drove him to school and because it was only 3 hours long I killed some time in the city before picking him up again. I got breakfast and then did some shopping. I also managed to finally finish Swimming in the Dark! I really loved the novel. It's close to a 5 star read for me (and might have been a definite 5 star if it hadn't taken me this long to finish it). I'll definitely keep an eye on Tomasz Jedrowski for any future releases. His way with words, his prose, was one of the best things about the story in my opinion. Maybe I'll also get a German edition of the book to check out the translation.
Positive things I did today:
went out for breakfast
did some shopping
finished Swimming in the Dark
went grocery shopping
prepared lunch for the next day

today a fascist won an election for the first time since 1933. here, in germany.
i don't care if it's just one (out of 16) states. björn höcke is a fascist. a court decided not long ago that it's allowed to call him a nazi. bc he is one. not "far right" or "conservative" - he is a nazi.
here. in germany. and he just won an election.
it hasn't even been 100 years.
i am scared.
that image that goes i want to do this. do it. but im scared. do it scared. changed my life
saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as "girl math" ......why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop

Not the greatest day, which becomes evident when you take a look at my screen time. But that's alright, because sadness is temporary and there are a thousand things that make life beautiful.
I cheered up a bit in the evening and started watching Peaky Blinders with a friend. Needless to say, Oppenheimer has impacted us in a certain way.
Positive things I did today:
kept the Duolingo Spanish streak going
finished history of witch hunts revision
did the dishes
Hours slept: ~8hrs Screentime: 11hrs (actually mortified at this) Steps taken: ~220
I love you people going into "useless" fields I love you classics majors I love you cultural studies majors I love you comparative literature majors I love you film studies majors I love you near eastern religions majors I love you Greek, Latin, and Hebrew majors I love you ethnic studies I love you people going into any and all small field that isn't considered lucrative in our rotting capitalist society please never stop keeping the sacred flame of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and understanding humanity and not merely for the sake of money alive

I felt a lot better and stopped taking my meds early. That came to bite me in the butt in the evening, so we're back to the meds :')
I did manage to go on a little walk tho! Motivating myself to go for walks is a lot harder whenever I visit my parents because my home town is located in a very hilly area. The city I live in now is mostly flat (also because it's, well, a city and not a small town) and so simply going out (and staying out longer) is, for some reason, easier to justify in my mind. I do, however, love the nature surrounding my home town, so walks are usually worth the exhaustion.
Positive things I did today:
finished literature review for the Hamilton essay and made a writing plan
went for a walk

(this post was written several days in retrospect)
This is the day birthday preperations really kicked in, so a lot of cleaning was done.
I also attempted to be productive in the morning and looked for internships. I have to do one mandatory, 8 week long internship as part of my undergrad programm and it's the main thing holding me back from finishing my BA. I innitially wanted to do the internship around this time but wasn't able to find a spot, so I'm pushing it (and writing my thesis) back a whole semester.
Positive things I did today:
helped clean
looked for internships
Hours slept: ~8hrs 30mins Screentime: ~9hrs 15mins Steps taken: ~700
