Well, I try my best to create as much free time as possible, but at the end of the day, some responsibilities will always take top priority. That being said, days where you can just laze around all day are a great refreshment.
Yeah, actively following the news over the last few years is probably the worst thing someone can do for their mental health. Mix that with what is actually affecting people's lives, and you have a wonderful cocktail full of depression. Lovely. And yet, no one wins if they get depressed, but at the same time, it is pretty hard to not throw in the towel, so to speak.
New-ish. I have been with my current employer for a few years. It's alright. Compared to some other job stories, I might have lucked out a little bit. How are you fairing? Bursting with enjoyment, a stressful career, or a decent enough balance?
Oh wow, you're back! Don't worry, it's been only 1.5 years!! I've been counting the days since your last reply, wondering what happened every night before sleep, eventually got paranoid, and got diagnosed with schizophrenia, but after 535 days you're finally back! As I said, not a big deal.
A bit more serious now. My studies... Well, I'm on a summer break right now. It's been going okayy, last year I got grades that exceeded my expectations, so that's good, I suppose. On the other hand, I'm gradually losing interest in computer science, and the job market isn't great right now either, so I'm quite worried about the future. I should also look for some internships, but I hardly have any motivation. Hopefully, I will get it sorted out before the next summer.
How about you? How have you been? And also, I wonder what made you come back all of a sudden lol.
Well, I did not expect to see your name pop up in my notifications again. Especially not with such a massive reply to stuff from 4 years ago.
Congratulations on your graduation! Quite a lot has happened in four years. I continue to just truck along with it. The last few years feel like they went past me with a blink of an eye, but also kind of not. I try my best to protect as much of my free time as possible, but sometimes adulting is quite a resource-consuming activity. If you enjoy painting or miss it dearly, I am sure you will get around to it eventually.
While I still use handwritten notes or my whiteboard from time to time, I mostly use Outlook, OneNote, and Teams due to my job. Did you acquire that master painter title yet?
In my opinion, staying positive is such an exhausting thing nowadays. Especially since I tend to overthink and overanalyze stuff all the time.
Staying active and following a workout plan is pretty nice, but not in this summer heat. My workout routine is rather relaxed compared to others, but hey, I don't want to be a powerlifter. I just focus on keeping my own goals in check. Keeping a healthy diet is kind of hard because, like pretty much anywhere, the price of decent food has exploded around here.
Over those years, I finally found the perfect recipe to become the pinnacle of human evolution. Take all those "free" YouTube guru courses, and you'll figure out the entire universe. No more learning left to do, and there is no more stress.
Well, kids can be real assholes. So, being showered in llama spit was probably deserved. Yeah, I am taking the llama's side.
You know, if we finally put our heads together and start working towards our goal as one big group, I know we can manage to also get rid of the last 4% of animals too. :)
The thing is, I haven't picked up a book since I started a new job. That was three years ago.
To be honest, picking up a conversation where it left off 4 years ago felt weird.
I could think about this change, but I like the iHAB abbreviation from my nickname ;)
I'm good, thank you! Just have a lot of work at uni lately, so I'm a bit tired. I used to be so active on forum games, but nowadays, I have to focus a bit more on my studies lol. Hbu?
Hey there Vuli! Sorry for my 2-month late reply. It was a very busy and stressful period for me as I had my Ph.D. defense. Thankfully now I am done with it ^^ And I was in somehow a strange mood so I deleted my friend's list for a new start. I sent you a request. I’d like to have you back there but if you don’t want to, I respect that :)
Oh, what kind of stories do you write? I assume you already wrote that one by now :p
Then sounds like it is time for you to get a new brush :p
Oh, so your siblings watch anime as well? I have a sister and a brother but neither watch anime sadly. Haha, I watched Death Note but I also haven't seen some of the basics like Naruto and One Piece xd
Haha XD I can imagine the difference. For me it really tires my eyes so I keep watching dubs ^^
Also happy belated new year! I hope 2021 brings you many blessings
