life update

 I think I'll just continue disappearing into the void for approximately a year, then coming back with all the stories. why not? let's see what's up:

1, business college update

2, teambuilding event at work

3, I found a new show I like

4, did I accidentally walk away from the love of my life (this IS clickbait)

 

I. Business College Update

So, it's the end of my first year here. Exams are still ongoing, but I have a reasonable estimate for grades and I'm also planning to retake some to get better results.

Last semester: I completely failed a subject called Leadership. I didn't submit any homework (we had 2 assignments) and I also utterly failed to show up for any of the 3 available exam dates. One was reasonable (I was ill, had like 4 days of continuous fever that I had to keep taking paracetamol to not burst into flames) but one was utterly stupid. I was working, but I saw that I could attend the exam date before work. Tell me why I completely changed my mental model of it all and remembered that I would be attending AFTER work? 

This semester: we're getting feedback on homework assignments only after we've actually taken exams. so, basically no way of calibrating the second homework based on feedback for the first one. Amazing. Also, subjects have gotten significantly harder, while last semester was "intro bullshit and some math", this semester has accounting, business law, and the only professor who (in my view) treats us like adults but the rest of the group is convinced he's unreasonably strict and also weirdly aloof. So far, I've gotten passing grades for everything, so that's good.

There's a whatsapp group for our "class" (what do you even call us? class is school :))) that is only good at triggering my inner snob. All in all: business college is going more or less as expected.

HOWEVER

I had plans to get a double degree with a certain partner university found on the website. Turns out, I was too naive and that specific program isn't available. I've already grieved it, dramatic as that sounds, but I guess I can explain it in more detail sometime.

 

II. Teambuilding

(to be updated :))))

So i'm on twitter

and everyone is talking about this stock thing they are doing, good for them; and someone says "the scariest thing in the world are people with nothing left to lose. especially when you realize you have EVERYTHING to lose" and oh damn!, that is exactly my issue. i was in therapy yesterday, and i've been very slowly realizing that i am so deeply afraid of failure, of rejection, of having anything to lose and then losing it - that i don't even want to start. and i was told this is childish, and sure, whatever, it is. but this is where i'm at right now and i donxt know how i'd get out of it. i literally only have about 2000 dollars to my name, and i have given a loan of about 300, and that is all i have, all i am working with, and i'm scared to have more because then i stand the chance of losing it. and failing from the start diesn't scare me nearly as much as failing from some higher avhievement. of course there's the saying that failure is a bruise,...

EMMH part four - Overeating

 I've got to say, it really sucks how exercise and a routine and eating well can help so much with mental health - why, you might ask. It does sound counterintuitive. After all, wouldn't a mentally ill person do anything they can to get better? Well, yes - but when I personally am feeling down, I have no will to do what I need to. With the utmost honesty, I think it was the solstice that helped me get back into some acceptable stuff. So, we're here to talk about overeating, right? Well, since I was small, I used to eat all that was given to me, then seconds, and then the dessert. I don't actually recall this conversation, but my mother does: when I was really young, my grandparents would tell me how good a kid my cousin was, because she would eat a lot, and she was such a puffy child and so on. Well, one day, the story says, I ate eight wiener sausages. Eight. Not even as an adult would I eat that many. But ever since I can remember, it had been like that. When someone ...

Exercise and (my) mental health - part two

 part two: a book review (content warning: dark. depression, potential sui ideation) This part is not really a review, more like a recommendation, relating my personal experience to what I read. Well, it did start out with Krav Maga. The more I went and trained, the more I would hear about bettering our coordination, and through that, our self-confidence, and isn't that what we all want? I did get a bit interested in biomechanics, the effects of exercise on our nervous system, and, of course, bettering myself. And because I also got an instructor diploma in early 2018, I feel it's my duty to learn more and more about anything that might be related to my field - especially since I want to teach one day. I did get the opportunity to teach, in the fall of 2019, a mother contacted me and asked me to teach her kid, privately, so of course, I threw myself into the thing. Coincidentally, I also had a friend visiting Budapest at that time, and she asked me what souvenir to bring. That...
