This! This is actually so important and we often overlook it and puss ourselves over our limits, which isn't bad overall, but dumb if we aren't careful
Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary. Take the time to prioritize your well-being.
I love my career choices, I really do, but having more than 5 ten page essays in Arial 12 is going to end my mental health, the good thing is that like three are in groups, still with all the work load and everything is quite slow, and more with all the information I need to make a good presentation.
It's ok to not finish books.
It's ok to be a quarter way, half way, most way through a book and go "you know what, this is not working".
DNFs are nothing to be ashamed of.
I'd had to suffer through to the end a few too many pieces of literature that I abhorred with every ounce of my being during my school years, I'm not one to judge anyone for not wanting to do that.
Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.
Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth
But have you seen the costume she's wearing??
It's gorgeous, obviously.
But that texture! It's *crochet*
And some knitting
Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.
Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.
Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire
The good thing about studying my career is that I'm reading a physics book at the same time that one about the mayas and their history. The duality of college.
I kind of like to multitask since it makes everything a little bit easier for me

5hrs on forest today !
2/30 days of productivity.
Today I'm back in class, and I had to speed run in order to keep up with my class, but the teacher has been totally chill about my absence and even told me that I'm having a very good progress, so I'm happy about it. This class is also introducción a la forma, or drawing.

Okay, so this week has been intense, in the worst sense, and it's only Tuesday. First of all on Sunday I had to stop working because I fucked up my wrist, I'm a butcher, and cutting/hitting the piece of meat wrong can lead to a sprained or broken wrist, lucky it is just sprained, and today I had to go to class because of some important assignments I had to show my teacher and I got a major panic attack, which ended in me in my towns hospital and some medication that made me drowsy, so I didn't go to class but I got some sleep I actually needed.
Probably the rest of the week is going to be better, but right now it has been like a loony toons episode.
Please state your emergency in ask box
