1) I have such a lack of motivation. Obviously its in regards to being finished with school in a matter of weeks. Aside from my French classes this summer, but, given how little work there generally was in German 100 and 110, I think the only thing that will make the French classes more difficult is the significantly shorter time frame. What will make it easier is the fact that I will have way more people to practice with! But back to my original point, the ZERO MOTIVATION FACTOR. I am so done. I think everyone has gone through this, at the end of their degree. Where they are just emotionally finished, and thus can't be bothered to keep track of their work. I'm mixing up assignments, forgetting about quizes, completely ignoring readings, etc. I was pretty good at the beginning of this term, but now I can't be bothered. I'm going to have to muster up every last ounce of motivation left in my body for finals. Ugh
2) I just bought a pair of Lululemon pants. I know, holy over-priced, label-whore, Vancouver Stereotype Batman. But I caved for 2 reasons: (a) my old cropped yoga pants are too big; and (b) I can use them for both yoga AND climbing. My current climbing pants aren't the loosest-fit or stretchiest material, and these may enable me to move a bit more freely. I still feel a little bit guilty, but at least I didn't spend $100 on full-length ones, and instead just bought the $70 cropped version. I'm going to hell.
3) After doing more intense research into my idea of being a school counsellor, it would basically involve another BA, plus a few years of work in the field, plus the time it takes for the MA. So I've pretty much nixed the idea of getting the degree and actually working as a counsellor. I still plan on working toward my idea of getting more mental health curriculum in schools, but I'm going to try and go about it differently. For one thing, I'm going to see my DBT counsellor in a few months as I go off my medication - to have a watchful eye on my moods - and I'm going to see if he has any recommendations on organizations I can volunteer or work with that either already are putting this together, or would be interested in doing so. It just means I have to find another "career path". Yet again. Sigh. I was pretty bummed about it, really bummed, sleeplessly bummed, until I started realizing it would mean my plans for writing are back on the table, as are my plans for travelling. Trying to look on the positive side of disappointment, closing doors means opening windows, making lemonade from AIDS kind of thing.
4) I have a couch coming later today! Okay, so its only a loveseat, and it cost all of $50 (plus another $30 for a slip cover since the couch is pink), but still. It will be tons better than the futon.
On that note, I have to clean my house in anticipation of the delivery of said loveseat. Huzzah for having a proper place to seat people!!
