    I think this has quite literally been one of the worst weeks of my life. lol

    But I’m coming out the other side.

    Is there some English word for “Ok so far, but I expect a huge pile of problems in the nearest days that will last for years. And while those problems are avoidable, I don’t avoid them because of the chance of them leading to something good”?

      Feel like elaborating? Sounds like there’s something to tell there

        Just life: I’m from Ukraine so finding a job by my specialty is difficult, so I have found a job at a local factory. Job is far from my dreams and the salary is just enough to keep me alive. But there is a perspective of a more interesting position in this factory after a few months of working as a machine operator.

    Pros:

    -Roof repairs almost finished (but it just started raining dammit)

    -Got Tempest Rising & Oblivion remastered, two shadow drops of highly anticipated games

    -Ordered a new videocard because my six-year old one can’t chug it no more.

    Cons:

    -Ran out of weed, will have to wait until next week for a fillup

    -Work is boring, as always

    All in all, not too shabby.

    Ok so far. School’s started again which I’m not thrilled about, really. I got to SLP school and went to an apprenticeship for four weeks and had three weeks of a semester break afterwards. Three weeks is pretty much the longest time off I’ve had since I started the apprenticeship, so it felt really good to have some time off, but I don’t really feel all that relaxed.

    The stress of filling out our schedules with new patients has immediately kicked in in class, which I’m usually not that affected by but certainly has its toll on me. Our final exam next year is stressing people out, exams that are due soon are stressing people out even more. It’s difficult to tune things out for oneself, but I’m doing what I can to not let things get to me too much.

    Thjngs could be worse for sure, though.
