I'm having a few bad days in a row now and it sucks. It's a self-perpetuating cycle: I feel lethargic and out of energy, I don't eat or drink enough and my sleep rhythm gets screwed up, I become too tired to do the things that might otherwise cheer me up/give me energy, things I'm supposed to do start to pile up which makes me feel discouraged and ( Read more... )

Books books books books books! I have time to read now! Vienna's public libraries have expanded their ebook selection \o/

I watched the first two periods of the Penguins-Stars game yesterday. (The stream sucked & for the first time I'm considering a paid option. Not sure it'll be worth it though because I watch live games so rarely. Maybe once I have a job ( Read more... )

The Pens' season opener is tonight! I'll most likely watch it, even though I have to get up earlier tomorrow for school debating. But it's the season opener! I'll be fine, I'll borrow my roommate's coffee machine ( Read more... )

Yesterday I visited the garden&park around Schönbrunn castle with a friend. I hadn't been there for months if not years, but suddenly it's only twenty minutes away. I should go more often! It's beautiful. Yesterday was still surprisingly sunny and warm, and there are even still roses blooming.

What else did I do the past few days: listen to ( Read more... )
