So with 43 days until my thesis is due, what is going on in my life?
Quite a lot actually! I'm at such a high point right now, where I am just very contented with where my life is. I see all my friends all the time, I really feel productive and like my thesis is coming along, I am busy debating and just got reelected to the Executive for the second year in a row, I have a really lovely relationship which makes me really happy, and it's starting to get warmer and sunnier so that makes me really positive.
I have a lot of friends stuff happening right now which I love. About a month ago, we came up with the idea of Feminist Film Fridays, in which everyone gets together after dinner of Friday and we watch a feminist movie. So like, 5 or 6 of us each week gather at my house and we watch something together and eat Magnums. It's really nice! This week we watched Miss Congeniality, and some boys came too, and we had cheesecake for Mia's birthday and it was just a nice, unremarkable night that really deserves to be cherished. It's a gift to have so many wonderful people around me that I enjoy hanging out with. After this year, a lot is going to change, and people are going to be working full time, or living in different states or countries, and that's pretty crazy to think about. I'd lvoe to hit the freeze button right now, cos this feels like a golden time for me. My brother just got a major job offer yesterday, which is amazing but it means he's going to be moving to Canberra at the end of the year/ beginning of next year. Every Thursday night, Chels, Mia, Viv and I do Eat Street Markets or go to Beach Burrito for dinner, and catch up, normally getting Kurtosh after. Every Monday, I spend an hour with Indy , who is a newer friend that I love dearly and we drink Belgian hot chocolates and D&M about whatever is new since FFF. On Tuesday nights, it's always Debating but I love that cos I have so many people that I look forward to seeing there. One of my closest debating friends actually can't attend any meetings this semester because of class, so we just caught up yesterday for lunch and that was really nice, to move from just the group world of debating to doing our own thing. One of my friends who I thought wasn't my friend anymore actually came around and we made up very dramatically, and now that's someone I can count on again, which I like. Plus I tag along to stuff with bae's friends, who are all really cool and fun, so I feel like my social life is actually really good rn.
Bae and I are doing good too. We have a relationship that involves basically me sleeping at his house 9/10 nights, so we spend a lot of time together without it conflicting with other commitments or life-stuff. We don't spend a huge amount of time together during the day, so it doesn't feel like an over-the-top commitment, but just one that makes sense. I like sleeping in the same place, not 10 houses apart, just for the sake of space. We spent the weekend in Sydney last week, and went to the Socialism Conference and the Star, where a friend of his had a 21st. It was really exciting to go somewhere overnight as a legit couple. Like, we've stayed in Sydney debating lots of times with other people, but this was just a thing we were doing as a couple, of our own volition, so that was really sweet #milestone. Our relationship isn't perfect, and I do definitely overthink things a lot and need to communicate what I think more, but I am really happy in it and get a lot of value. I'm really looking forward to this Summer.
I have an RA job and that's going pretty well, I do statistical analysis for a major project and it's fun. I just do it whenever I want and will actually be getting paid so that's nice. I'm considering going on a cruise at the end of the year with friends (hopefully bae too but he still needs to be convinced). That would be such a nice way to end the year. I'm also going to the Psych Ball this year, with bae, and I'm just excited to celebrate thesis being done with all of my Psych friends, because everyone has become so much closer this year, I feel like I have a lot of friends there that I'll be sad to say goodbye to.
My fitness & health goals are not really a priority right now, which sucks. I'm hoping that I can start making that more of a priority soon, because it does bring me down. I do want to be thinner and healthier and get some fitness back. I'm going to start running again, hopefully. At least just spending more time outside walking. I think that would be valuable, not just for physical goals but for mental health. I went out the other week to meet bae Pokemon hunting and was so surprised by how much joy the walk gave me. It was cold and dark but I had my earphones in and I genuinely didn't want to arrive, because I was having so much fun by myself. I also think it would be nice to just go out together and walk and talk. Prime hand holding opportunity.
I'm also looking forward (kind of) to moving out at the beginning of next year. I'm being kicked out so I have plans to move in with Viv and Ryan which I think will be an adventure. Hopefully the good kind. That's still 5 months away but it's a serious plan, I have to move out and I love the idea of living with friends.
