gymncpdie: 03.28.21 | I’m posting this a little later than usual but that’s because I’m having my weekly recaps go up on Sundays from now on. Let’s see how long I can stick to it, if at all. So I had my midterm exam on the 19th & it could have gone better, but I didn’t allow myself to dwell on it too much. I always find myself deep in self-reproach whenever I study really hard (to the point of confidence sometimes) but don’t get the results I want, yet when I do get those results I attribute it to pure luck & dismiss my hard work. It’s a vicious & incredibly draining cycle. I’m trying to break it little by little, & what’s currently helping is taking my mind off it.Along with the self-deprecating thoughts, external, concrete things kept me company. I bought flowers & placed them around the house. The two books I ordered also arrived which was exciting (there’s an unboxing video on my bookstagram’s highlights). The last time I bought a physical book was in December of 2019 I think. I know it seems like an incredibly long time ago, but it doesn’t feel that way to me because I personally don’t buy books that often. Not out of prudence! My family has a considerable collection, most of which I haven’t read, & I’ve been making my way through them so buying books just doesn’t feel necessary. I still do it, of course, but I’m just not impulsive with it I guess. Makes every purchase more exciting though. ♫ Georgia by Phoebe Bridgers -- source link
