Lots of stuff changing lately. At the end of one day job and beginning of another, moving up in the world somewhat in the process. I get to run a movie theatre now (which I should specify. I’m the manager, so I run operations, there’s still a director above me doing booking and handling the Hollywood calls). Been really really beatin me down as I finish out the chef job but I’ve got five shifts left counting today. Crazy to be that close to the end of a chapter in my life.
Woke up this morning to being nearly deaf in my left ear. Very inconvenient and annoying lol. I’ve had lifelong issues with my ears and earwax. Last time I saw an ENT (many years ago), I was informed it was apparently because my ear canals have a fucked up, very abnormal shape. So every few years, I inevitably end up having some sort of earwax related issue. Apparently, I’ve failed every hearing test I took when I was younger lol. May or may not be related… I might just have slightly subpar hearing…
Been trying my best to treat it myself rn, which has been helping a little bit. But hopefully I can get it actually treated soon, I’m probably due for an appointment. I’ve had a dull tinnitus in my other ear for a while that may or may not be related. For now though, just continuing with daily life but now with temporary hearing loss
(And no, believe or not there is actually no connection between my choice of username and this lifelong earwax curse. It’s just a cruel, cruel coincidence)
It was a great sunny day. Went exploring and doing some BULLSHIT in the forest with my girlfriend. Climbed some trees and photographed some goats. Need to do that again someday.
Feeling incredibly fulfilled today. Busy, busy, *busy* day at the movie theatre but it went without a hitch. People seem to be very happy with what I'm doing to the place and that leaves me feeling really happy, just in general. Went out for a nice Sunday dinner afterwards and that left me equally satisfied.
All in all, pretty great week. Now I brace myself for three shows (and seeing most of US dG again!!!!!!!) over the next few weeks. :~)
sure do love staying up late til 4am for a fucking math exam :)
and then i have 2 more exams in a row after that :)
with extra periods on 3 out of 5 days every week being used for finals preparations extending the time i spend in school
:) :)
this year is gonna suck bruh how tf did yall deal with 4th grade highschool
Overall quite alright!
Nothing much of anything has been happening except us finishing 2 samples for one small Instagram brand and trying to prepare some of our stuff for sale hopefully (but thats not really a today'''s thing but more of a in general what has been kinda happening in the past few months).
Also drawing the webcomic and finishing my MASTER THESIS which am writing on a relatively cool topic which noone in my field even considered before, so I have potential to publish it later and already got support from one professor who wishes to help me to edit it for journal publishing.
There are some bad stuff too, but I don'''t tackle whats outside of my control!
I’ve been traveling since 4am. This message is sent from like a billion feet in the air and I think the world we live in is pretty cool. Totally thought I’d be able to sleep on this thing but I have now learned otherwise lol
got off the phone with financial aid at uni to figure out what i'm supposed to about all the student govt. loans i took on by mistake, having basically been instructed to do so since i didn't know any better and was just doing what it seemed like i was being told
they said "yep not our problem anymore lol sorry nerd"
Readjusted to normal life again. Workin' on a buncha stuff for the movie theatre and I'm excited to get the ball rolling as we head into the really fun season here soon.
I fucked up my 5th semester at my uni by holing up in my room for a month and my parents had to take a flight and drag me out and convince the professors to let me take the end sem exams so i can pass onto the next sem
so instead of preparing im just roaming the internet
today went well generally. i finished an art for a thing and submitted a thing for another thing. i have been sleeping better than other times and i look forward to doing more things for other things tomorrow
Today I was originally going to spend the day at home working on stuff but I decided to go on a walk and get breakfast, which ended up being probably one of THE breakfast sandwiches of all time, seriously it was so good.
Rather than walking home thereafter, I’d chosen to browse the area, and there was a
Place nearby called “The Insect Asylum” which I’d been told about before. Notably, I’d been told there was an opossum there. I can confirm there was, her name was Opal, and I got to pet her and she was very sweet. I also got to hold a leopard gecko and TWO stickbugs, and spectate several other cute critters. Hit a used book and CD store after that, then bought some skincare supplies at TJ Maxx.
Pretty solid day. I’ll probably work on stuff for real now.
