Being A Student Of The World

I’m ending on a great week despite some sadness, hangover, and food poisoning; I really have enjoyed it. I’ve been in a good mood, and when I’m not, I’ve been challenging myself to reframe or take advantage of the time (e.g. oh I’m sad/sick and can’t go to the tour/baseball game/see friends – I’ll do an online course or journal like I’ve really been wanting to).

The greatest insight that I’ve had is – I really enjoy being a student: whether taking Spanish classes at a uni, reading books, going to dance classes, or doing online courses. I love bringing people together and fostering connections while leading, teaching, or being an example. At heart, I’m an emo nerd, and I’ve been coming to terms with that archetype more than being something else that I’m not

I am meant to be a professor or coach 8-)

(I’ll keep this in the back of my head as I figure out my post-school life)

Actions

• Finished audiobook of: Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal – I started this 2-3 months ago, and I’ve been listening to 10min bits of this nearly every morning to practice my Spanish listening. This is the 3rd time overall that I’ve attempted to listen to it during my life, and I finally FINISHED IT! In the beginning, I had no idea what was going on. NOW, I can understand almost every word (and I look up new words). I feel super stoked to have completed AND understood my first real book completely in Spanish
• Completed all homework
• Completed first section for a self-development course (goal set by my friend and I) – read/watched all info, took notes, and journaled all exercises
• Messaged a bunch on dating apps – 2 dates scheduled and taking the rest slow for the moment
• Ate better overall in my informal diet – I’ve lost quite a bit of weight, but for the time being I’m feeling really good from the diet/weight loss. I’m officially within a “normal” weight range for my height. Now obv this doesn’t mean much, but I’ve technically been overweight my whole adult life – a mix of a lot of muscle yes and too much fat. My body hurt and ached from the weight, but now, less so~
• HOUSE PARTY tonight! Super excited to have friends over
