For my first blog entry after a really long time of not blogging, I'd just want to list down the little things that made me feel better whenever I feel down during my short life as an exchange student. I first wrote this list down on paper and tacked it on my wall to nudge (hence this entry's title) me back in the right direction whenever needed.
1) WIF! (Wow It's Friday!, a podcast started by one of my friends) episodes! i love the lols, and listening to everyone's voices :D Too bad they haven't started recording again, though..
2) laundry! it's surprisingly an anti-stress activity!
3) chatting with people on Skype.
4) cooking, especially if the other people in the kitchen aren't noisy!
5) warm baths and soaking in the bathtub. need i say more?
6) eating! be it pasta or snacks, it's fun to eat!
7) watching stuff (mostly anime, wherein I abuse my dorm's fast internet speed XD). time to finish that to-watch list!
8) having heart-to-heart chats with people :D
9) making lists! to-do lists, to-download lists, to-watch lists, etc.! i don't know why, but it's relaxing!
10) bumming around on the bed, preferably drawing on my journal.
11) soundtripping. yay to Christmas and anime songs! XD
12) window-shopping at Euralille, the only mall in Lille we know of! yay to malls! :D and window-shopping, since I'm not the type who shops a lot :O
13) dorm-hopping at St. Camille, where two of my fellow classmates stay! people there must think that I'm a resident there too! =))
But I guess I'd need to make a separate 'feel-good list' for back here, since it's much more different here than in Lille :O.
