I forgot how much fun it is writing analyses. Admittedly, couldn't ever really appreciate the joy of writing them while writing because I had so much to say that just wouldn't fit into the 90 or 180 allotted minutes during highschool exams, so I was more stressed about putting all my thoughts in while keeping it all coherent, but afterwards I always found myself saying "Actually, this was fun". Just didn't feel like doing them at home, too lol. But now that I've started writing some of them again when I feel like it, it makes me notice how I end up appreciating the work some more or even less in some cases and also that it's actually relaxing if you aren't writing them under pressure lol.

Got an email from my university that I was nominated for a special jobs event with interviews with companies and stuff. Can't believe my eyes. Hard work does pay after all. They're gonna send more emails with details later for sorting out who would get actual opportunities and who isn't, so it's a bit early to celebrate, but it's still a good thing and may be a step in the right direction. Can't wait to see how this would turn out. I really hope I get something out of it and finally stop being a NEET and get money at last, I need it for health concerns, to get more nutritional food, to get furniture for my bedroom, and to pay back all my family members who helped me out when I needed it most. And so I can finally get a car, driving lessons, and a driving license.

I feel a bit silly for relying on chatgpt for this, but there is just so much anyone around me can say and do right now.
I suffer from pretty severe exhaustion, the doctor literally prescribed me antidepressants and "plenty of rest and fun activities" but as someone that struggles with settling down even at home because I feel there is always some chores to do (shelves to dust, meals to plan and cook, litterboxes to clean and cats to brush, beds to make and sheets to wash, etc.) and too autistic to fully recognize certain signals my body is giving me, I've needed som help navigating it all. Chatgpt has been a great help in this. I don't fully believe in it as a part of a good support system, since it will just validate anything you say, but it feels nice as a current support in something as normal as being burnt out/exhausted. Especially in trying to accept that I need to rest and that I'm not lazy just because my body is fighting against me at times.

I think I just bought a pair of dr martens for insanely cheap. The go for 1k+ where I live and I think I bought it for a tenth of it. Bought it on an online second hand store, but not the depop kind, more akin to fb marketplace maybe? Anyway, judging for the picture it was an older guy selling it, maybe he's a clueless boomer that got it as a gift but didn't like the style or didn't find it comfortable. Let's see once it gets here, they are (supposedly) the same model as picrel

I never thought about it until now but I guess I didn’t see bumper stickers when I went abroad. What about water bottle or laptop stickers? Is that an American thing too? Personally I’m of the opinion that the number of stickers correlates to how unhinged the owner is, so I don’t really view it in a positive way kek

I used to get really frustrated when my job would be inefficient, but I realized a lot of it is just because of people coddling moids and moids being dumb. people taking up extra work covering for slow and lazy ones, arrogant ones making assumptions and not communicating properly down the chain of command, dumb ones doing and saying whatever despite lacking knowledge. they pick up corporate jargon without actually understanding what they're saying, but just want to sound smart and cosplay corporate. ping them and never get a reply. I often question their reading comprehension.

I ask a guy a question and he mansplain something, create a side meeting to "discuss" with somebody, and come back with a conclusion to a problem I wasn't having. I just say,
> Okay, thanks. <repeat question>

Women, wow, they're so efficient and thorough. And can clearly read and understand, and problem solve. I spend days waiting for moids to respond/decide what takes a woman in minutes.

instead of frustration, I guess I feel the same as when you see Down Syndrome people with jobs

He actually is pretty cute despite not being my usual type at all. He has curly hair and really striking blue eyes. I guess I'll meet him some day, yesterday just wasn't the day.
I got two little bows on the back of my shins, they're disgustingly cute. And the tattoo artist asked 100 euros less for them than what I was willing to pay so that was a nice surprise. She's always so nice too.
