Aside from answering the reflection questions, I'd like to talk about other things.
The usual, I've been spending the first 2 hours in the morning at the library, as I secure a parking spot for my car at work (Hospital), and walk to the library. There I've been reading and taking notes. Some of you might remember, I've published a book last summer and is now available on Amazon. Although I haven't had any sales yet, I've been gathering free reviews through a site that is approved by Amazon. And to earn "points" to get my own book reviewed, I can choose to review other authors' books. So, I've been using my mornings before my shift, in the library, reading books and taking notes.
Of course, I'm the first person to get up and leave, and along the line of cubicles I'm sitting at, I'm the only person who takes notes with a pen and paper. Everyone else either uses a laptop or iPad. There I am, with my pencil and eraser. Which it fine, as I like to write. Which makes me think, in the new age now, where it's all about technology, are people's handwriting becoming messy? I heard even in elementary school nowadays, kids have iPad to use. No one seems to actually use a physical writing tool to write anymore, everything is done by computers, mobile phone..
Anyways, I'm going off-topic again. It feels good to pick up reading again. I can choose any subject I'm interested in. Sometimes, it'd be a children's book, a wordsearch or even a coloring book. Maybe it can help broaden my knowledge, for when and if I meet new people, there's more topics to talk about.

Hey lovely Jae! hows it going? thanks for joining the checkin this week,
That sounds awesome that you have been spending your mornings in the library and enjoying the time reading and learning. lol I too am a note taker with pen and paper! typing is so slow and it just feels so much better taking notes with paper. don't feel self conscious about that, I too seem to be the only one in my classes that doesnt use a tablet or computer for notes, welcome to the advances in technology. I would think that peoples handwriting not as good if they dont have to practice it. Anyways friend I hope that you enjoy your tie reading and reviewing, I wish you luck on your book sales, and I hope you have an awesome week ahead (:
❀ How are you doing? mentally? physically? spiritually? ❀
Hi, I am having a pretty hard time, trying to study for my finals for our short semester next Monday, but they also slammed us with lectures this week that are on the final. I also just feel so lonely and feel like I have nobody to talk to right now. My counselor canceled this week, so I didn't get support from her, and I am really struggling. I really wish I could just have a hug or something.
❀ What is one thing that you would like to learn more about? Inside or outside of school.❀
I don't know. I want to take more theater/improv classes, but the places near me I used to go to have shut down unfortunately.
❀ Do you have any plans for self care this week? ❀
I really have no time to do anything but study for finals until next week. Sometimes I do quick breathing exercises, but that's it.

Hey lovely dream, Thanks for joining our checkin this week, its lovely to see you as always.
Im so sorry that things have not been going well lately. Exams and finals are always such an overwhelming and stressful time of year. no matter how much studying or preparing you do, there's always all-nighters and cramming, and feeling like its never enough. There never seem to be enough hours in the day. It sounds like your professors are not helping by pilling on more lectures, kind of last miuute aye. its a whole lot to deal with, and our mental health always seems to go down the drain. it even harder when our normal supports are taken away like your councilor. we are always here for you friend, you can message me in pms or we can create a form to talk in, You do not have to go through this alone okie? *holds you in hugs if okie* one step at a time, I belive in you. I hope that you manage to get some time to do your breathing exercises and even if it five minutes to recharge or a nice shower. those little things can make small differences. always here for you friend
