- I have a copy of Genevieve Cogman’s new book Scarlet.
- It’s nearly time for my exams, and then there will be a glorious three months of freedom from studying.
- Past me remembered that three month gap and signed up for an extra class last year, meaning I can start studying after two months’ break, e.g. a month earlier than the course actually opens. That should spread out the work a bit more!

- SGQ: I set a timer for meditation yesterday instead of just going until it felt good and it made it easier to let thoughts go: I’d been holding onto worrying about meditating for too long, which then made it feel frustrating and made me meditate for, realistically, too short.
- Work wasn’t too arduous today, and a big project that’s been rolling out seems to be going well.
- Rainstorms yesterday were perfectly timed to make it cloudy and cool during yardwork, drive everyone away from the neighborhood tennis courts, then clear up just by the time my wife and I went to play!

- self-gratitude: i’m grateful i managed to be so thourough and diligent about my beeminder tasks today! i think this might be a record, actually; all goals that can be green, are green! i worked on almost all my goals today! (i wanted to work on the last one as well, but ended up not really being able to, so i resigned to my fate XP it’s already green anyway!)
[i sometimes wonder about the meaning of “grateful.” am i really grateful about the aforementioned thing, or am i simply proud? when a good thing happens, am i really grateful, or am i just happy about it? but i think i am both, and i can absolutely count these things as gratitudes, even if gratitude is maybe not the first and/or most prominent feeling i’m feeling when i’m thinking about them.] - i’m grateful my flatmate tried to look for a [little phone thingy i can’t be bothered to look up the name of]. he didn’t find it, but he looked (and said he’d look more again tomorrow), without me even asking, which surprised me and was very nice!
- self-gratitude: i’m grateful i sent off my last uni assignment for the semester today. i don’t know if it’s enough, maybe the prof wants me to change or rewrite it (fingers crossed that no, though XD), but if it’s enough that would mean no more direct uni responsibilities for a long while! :0 and being actually finished with everything except my master’s thesis! :0 (well, after the grade is in.) which would truly be wild and amazing and wonderful! (and even if i have to change the assignment a bit, that probably wouldn’t take too long … i hope!)
