I thought being on my 3 week Easter break I’d get to the gym loads but I’m just being lazy.

In about 2 months I will have finished the taught part of this course. I guess I should start thinking about what I want to do my dissertation on soon 🤷🏼‍♂️

You know in gym there are machines that say starting resistance? Do you add whatever weight you add to the starting resistance or when you add your own weights does that go to zero?

Did a (fake) presentation today. Usually I’d read from cue cards but I didn’t this time - I think this may be some sort of growth?

My new favourite thing to do is set a 5am alarm to go to gym, wake up with said alarm and just lay in bed but not go to the gym.

I was chatting to the other people on my course today and realised* I’m closer in age their parents than I am to them 💀

*we said out loud that

Is there anything more scary than starting at a new gym and not knowing your way around?

Last night of hols tonight, day to catch up on real life then back to uni on Monday and back in work Thursday 😭

At least the central heating works now so I can just dry my clothes on radiators

Now the drying bit of my washer-drier is broken 😞

Add companies that only go as short as 29”/30” because they’re still super long on me

Crossed leg, part of laptop screen and sleeping dog with text that reads ‘just here doing an assignment at almost 11pm on NYD! My study pal has given up - she’s no help at all’

Back on my assignment bullshit. Should get this one finished tomorrow though 🎉

It really annoys me. They should label it ‘now and then’ instead if they can’t change the picture order

1st term ✅
Assignments in progress*
4 days of work to go then I can chill out for three days

*some mostly done some not even started

Got my first result back from one of my group presentations and got 70% - I would have been happy with a pass but I’m over the moon with that. The imposter syndrome has subsided…for now.

After that I have three major projects to hand in in the first 10 days of January. Then start over with 4 new modules in February. FML

One thing I haven’t missed about studying the is deadlines. I’ve got 200 words left to write by Friday 🤓, a 20min group presentation to hand in the following Monday (4 of us in group and 2 don’t have a clue what’s going on) and another 20 min group presentation the Monday after that.

I’ve been thinking about dying my beard but I feel like I should have been doing it since it first went grey and I’ve left it too late now purely because people will definitely know it’s been dyed.

Yeah I use Hevy when I actually make it to the gym - it’s my favourite app so far

That’s just really fucking rude!

1st (induction) day ✅

Completed it mate! I’m definitely the oldest person on the course so far.

Thank you. I think I’m just getting in my head a bit because it’s been so long and I’m not sure what exactly to expect. I have all intentions of not leaving everything until the last minute like I did in my last degree 🫣

After my previous career went to shit I decided to go and do a masters at 43 - so I start next week and I’m really anxious about it. I’m already getting in my head about it because I think I’ve forgotten how to study. Anyone got any useful advice for me?

Is this a bit excessive?

I’ve seen my degree certificate and transcript at least once a year since I got it 14years ago. Do you think I can find it now that I need it? 😑

Oven broke last week so had to order a new one because I couldn’t get the part to fix it, then found out yesterday that a ridge tile on the roof had slipped so had to have that fixed today. I could really do without anything else needing repair or replacement for at least the next few months.

I don’t trust any exercise with a place in mind it’s name

Thank you. I’ve downloaded it, got my 7 day trial and I’m gonna give it a go tomorrow
