welcome to the weekly how’s your week going thread

this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special

on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i’ll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire

    I stayed at an Airbnb for a friend’s bday last night and had a great time singing along to Road to El Dorado (and kept everyone up with my snoring). I’m back home, cleaning myself and the apartment and will shortly be taking a Tears of the Kingdom break.

    Adding that to my TBR. I got back into reading 2 years ago, it’s helped my mental health so much by replacing social media. Hope your week calms down＼(- )

    I’m doing pretty great. Spent all weekend volunteering at pride events and meeting lots of amazing people. Been having fun hanging around beehaw too so that’s been a positive as well 😊

      So far Beehaw seems like a chill place to chat, I’m interested to see how things go in the next few weeks!

    Oof I’ve hit the under two week deadline for my final portfolio in school and I’m permastressed. I’ve been finding myself spending hours playing The Long Dark as the unforgiving canadian wilderness is easier than just working on my school work 🫠

    idk, i’ve been stuck between a rock and a hard place for awhile but this weeks been rougher than usual. Weirdly I’m feeling hopeful for the future though, maybe it has to get worse before it gets better.

    I was just approved in the community, so still exploring.

    My university exams are going on so I have been busy with that and only 6 days left before my college life ends (temporarily at least) and it’s daunting for me how adult corporate life would be. I am already making a list of things to do in vacations like joining a gym, starting to read a book that was pending since past several months(any readers of Red Rising by Pierce Brown here??), learning guitar and so on…

    I am over all the place, but happy.

      Oh man I remember that feeling.

      Every time my life has moved on to the next phase things have just gotten better. That doesn’t mean there aren’t bumps (sometime serious giant bumps) along the way or the stuff that came before wasn’t great too but I feel that each new part of my life just enhanced everything that came before. This is a feeling that I know is shared by most people I know too.

      I hope that’s the same for you and that everything goes well as you move into “adult corporate life”. Try to turn that daunting feeling into excitement as the new bit starts!

    Think I’ll have to share in calling this week total chaos as the last few days I’ve been moving across the country to pursue an internship at NASA. It’ll be my first week at work there so here’s hoping it goes well. I also have a class I’m currently taking with an exam tomorrow. Very stressful indeed.

    I’ve had better weeks. One of my guinea pigs who has been sick for a while got sick enough that she had to be put down, with the added bonus that this became obvious about 15 minutes before I had to go meet my new landlord to pick up the keys to my new apartment. On the plus side, moving into the new apartment has been easy, I thought I would need to do a lot of back and forth to move stuff before the movers come to take the big things, but seems like that’s mostly done. Also, my other guinea pig is doing well despite the loss of her friend, so that is good also.

    I’ve had great fun working through Crafting Interpreters (in Haskell and Zig, which were both new to me), and discovering a lot of new music (underscores, ethel cain, xiu xiu and more). Other than that, life’s been rough, but I’m lucky to have quite a bit of free time recently at least.

    Woke up at 3am and couldn’t fall back asleep, but it’s a freaking GOOD day, got some caffeine, not a lot of meetings at work today, and the Lemmy community grows, I’m loving it here
