I didn't have any dreams last night.

At last, the final week of school. Thank Jupiter! (I don't say "Thank God" because I'm an atheist.) This year SUCKED! At least next school year will be better, as it's my last one in my piece of shit public high school. However, it will be my busiest one, since I have to apply to universities, and make myself the least suspicious I can of Ana and Patrick.

Only senior year and one year of biology, before I'd run away to the UK.

I skipped Sunday and took some time to reset. I learned that I needed to stand my ground on the weekends with my diet and exercise, especially since Ana and Patrick won't. They're always ordering food. Friday night, we got Mcdonald's, Saturday night, we got Chinese food, and Sunday night, we got Domino's pizza. My body isn't capable of processing so much unhealthy food in one sitting. I've practically ruined it. Well, this week and this summer, I'm getting it back on track.

I've learned a thing or two or three from Julia K Crist's 5 AM morning routine video. To-do list notebooks, hers are so pretty, You can also add them to your phone as a widget. Always get a workout in, and finally, use coffee shops to your advantage. Since I was living during a pandemic, I used a YouTube video that simulated the experience. The noise somehow keeps me focused.

Daily Dose of Happiness

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. -Logan Pearsall Smith

What I got that I wanted today:

I got everything prepared for an easy music video shoot.

How I enjoyed what I got today:

I get to sleep a full 8 hours tonight.

Ok, I admit, my answer to my daily dose of happiness is a little bland, but with how busy I've found myself to be lately, it's like I don't have time to be emotional, let alone happy. I really want to watch Toradora! But I don't want to sacrifice my full 8 hours of sleep. I have to shoot my music video in the morning.

I also need to retake my failed maths quizzes and my Unit 7 & 8 AP Biology MC unit tests.

We literally get out of school in two days.

I stressed having to send them emails to notify them that I've retaken it and I need them to put my new grade into IC, but I saw that they're all already opened.

I can just complete and submit them whenever I want to.

I better see straight-As in my transcript.

YOUR TASK: Get some sleep tonight. You're going to need it to survive another day.
