Did not do these yesterday as I did indeed stay for a double shift at my job, so these are my todo for when I get home from work today, 9/29/24!
To Do Today 9/28/24
I was supposed to work a long double shift today at my normal job and then a kinda side job task that involves talking to a ton of people and being out late at night. I've decided I'm going to tell my bosses I can't do it, because the anxiety I've felt about doing it has made me thrown up already π
so here's the stuff I am going to do today:
pre lab 24 chemistry
pre lab 25 chemistry
chemistry lecture quiz
catch up on chem lecture notes
catch up on psyc lecture notes
catch up on accounting lecture notes
complete other intro to business assignments
study japanese
study for TEAS exam
It sounds like a lot, but honestly, it should not take me all night to do all these things so I'll be fine, as long as I get then done!
see you in the update later, lovelies π©·
Daily Check-in: May 14, 2024 π
Tuesday was a slow day turned long day. I was supposed to go into work from 10 to 2 and then they asked me to stay for the night shift so I needed up working 10 to 7:30, with an hour break. So my 4 hour shift turned into an 8.5 hour shift. I was so tired when I got home last night that I showered, did skincare, and fell asleep.
π©· What I Accomplished
completed a 7 min abs workout video, an 8 min ans and arms video (did not like it), and half of a 5 min abs video. so about 17 minutes of a workout overall.
read and annotated like, 3 or 4 pages of Atmoic Habits
had a really yummy "snack box" breakfast (it was 41 grams of protein and uggghh so yummy)
did my morning journal and morning skincare
walked over 11k steps (I didn't check the exact number but my watch notified me)
worked an ~8.5 hour shift
did my full night skincare routine
π Good Things That Happened
checked my final grades and I passed my classes with all A's! This is the first spring semester I've ever done that!
my GPA also went up a little bit so that's exciting!
I tried some of the potatoes they were serving at my work in the evening, and they were so delicious
my dad told me he was so proud of me for how hard I worked and my grades this last semester, I could've cried
π Stuff For Wednesday
study Spanish!!! I have an italki lesson on Tuesday the 21st at 9am so I need to get on my study grind!!
read and annotate Atomic Habits a little bit
wash my comforter and other blanket
wash my laundry and put away
finally cook my meal prep dinner (chicken, mashed potatoes, and brocooli!)
perhaps attempt to bleach/dye my hair again (I tried on Sunday and the bleach didn't do much so I need to do it again, I'm trying to dye parts of my hair pink at the moment)
do my morning + night skincare
I woke up sore today (wednesday), which I think is partially due to the 8 min abs and arm workout that I did not enjoy. Like it's a more painful kind of sore, so yeah, taking that video out of my rotation.
π Song of The Day: NewJeans - Super Shy
I love summer time kpop music. that super girly, feminine summertime bops are everything!! I should make a summer vibes playlist omg.

π Goals for May π
Well, I'm two days *late* but it's the beginning of a new month and I figured, why not set a couple of goals for this month? My spring semester ends next Friday, the 10th, so I want to have some things to focus on for this month before I travel to Colorado in June for work <3
π©· May Goals π©·
have 1-3 more meeting with my italki teacher
study Spanish for some time every day
get daily movement (either 10k steps or 20+ minutes of a workout, low impact preferably [i love at home mat pilates])
read 10 pages of a book daily
keep up with my accountability buddies (if they still want to!)
maintain a consistent morning and night routine (journaling, skincare, etc)
prepare for my work trip (suitcase, plane ticket, buy my necessities, etc)
start modifying my current food intake (I don't like the word diet) due to a new health issue I discovered with my doctor
not too many goals, not too stressful. I'm going to habit track some of this as well to help keep me motivated, and hopefully continue working with my accountability buddies to keep me on track this summer! here's to another beautiful month of life π

Day 26: 90 Day Challenge π
Yesterday (Monday) was my 21st birthday and I honestly actually did nothing. I ordered myself food, revieved flowers from my boyfriend, and stayed in bed all day. I didn't do any skincare, I was in sweatpants all day, and I actually cried for an hour in the morning because i typically don't like my birthday and tend to get emotional every year.
Not much to really talk about, so consider this my day 26 update.
I will update on today either tonight or tomorrow.

π Summer Stuff π
I had no idea what to title this, but this is a comprehensive list of my goals, habits, and "dailies" that I am going to accomplish this summer (before I head to Colorado in mid june for 8 weeks of work!)
π©· Overall Goals/Habits
Daily movement - morning workout AND/OR a hot girl walk (5k to 10k steps a day is my goal for daily steps)
Spanish study - 20+ minutes a day, have a couple italki lessons (already have one booked!)
Daily reading - 30+ minutes daily, nonfiction and/or fiction
Consistent morning routine - hydration, movement, journaling, skincare, etc
Wake up at the same time everyday - debating between 5 and 6am right now (I'm a morning person!)
Try some new things - watch new TV shows, maybe self learn some kpop choreo, dabble in creative writing, try new classes, etc
Consistent night routine - unwind, read, shower/skincare, journal, etc
Go to sleep at same time every night: 10pm or 11pm
Incorporate more wellness into my days - stretching, meditation, yoga/pilates, fruit smoothies
Keep up with all necessary appointments - doctors, therapist, etc
Maintain a healthy diet - high nutrient (fruit and veggie), high ish protein, moderate carbs, moderate fats, lots of water, limited caffiene, highly limited added sugar (loosely track food intake to be more mindful of my choices)
Consistent cleaning and reset routines
Daily affirmations and work on Law of Attraction/Law of Vibration to help manifest my dream life and cultivate my new identity to live my healthier, happier, desired life <3
I am so excited. Something about this summer feels different. This summer feels like the one for me, like I'm seriously going to have my "that girl" summer that I've been hoping for. Lots of rest, recovery, and renewal.

April 7th, 2025 π
My brain did not let me study or do much this weekend and it was seriously bugging me, but I'm trying not to beat myself up about it because it was that time of month and lately it has been messing with me hard whenever it's that time of month. Plus, work was really tiring this weekend and I've been a little stressed out about some things.
What I Accomplished (April 6th) π
completed and passed a quiz for one of my online classes
worked 9am to 3pm
took a 40 min nap on the couch
worked on my study guide for health psychology for ~10min
chatted with my roommates for a while
Not the most productive day yesterday, but it was not a bad day. I was super tired and anxious yesterday, but I had a decent day regardless.
Todo Today (April 7) β¨οΈ
study for exercise physiology exam π
make study quizlet for health psych π»
work on study guide for health psych βοΈ
work 230pm to ~930pm βοΈ
double check on classes before registering for next semester π«£
skincare before work πΏ
skincare after work π§΄
make to do list for tomorrow π‘
Not an extensive list, but just stuff I need to get done. My health psych exam is Thursday and I believe my exercise physiology exam opens on Friday. I have a couple of small projects coming due next week, and some assignments that need completing later this week. It's lock in time now that the semester is almost over.
