lea's weekly check-in ➛ november 27th - december 3rd

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

something good that happened is...

the first thing that came to mind was my class on tuesday. my professor knew that we were all stressed about finals, so he handed out papers and said we were doing a destressor activity. he gave us a few minutes to write a letter to ourselves about what we're thankful to ourselves for doing this semester. it was quite emotional, and i found myself getting teary-eyed because i've done so much for myself in just three months and i've never properly thanked myself for any of it.

something bad that happened is...

( i'm stressed about work! )

i overcame the bad thing by...

( brooding for a whole day )

i'm proud of myself for...

( even more work stuff... )

   i'm proud of myself for making time to scrapbook even when i feel like i don't have any time to, and for downloading games on my phone to keep me off of social media. i've gotten back into the habit of bringing books on the bus so i'm on my phone less.

i'm grateful for...

the end of the semester, the "challenging extreme and unhelpful thinking" workbook that my friend gave me, my professor for doing that activity with us, and public libraries! i spent over three hrs studying there yesterday and took out three books!

what i want to accomplish next week...

i need to finish all my finals, of course. and i keep saying this over and over but i should start looking at the news again. i've been living under a rock the past few years because i hate the news but i think i need to finally get over that and start checking my news app at least a couple times per week. 

something i discovered:

some cool websites!

http://www.windows93.net/

http://www.cachemonet.com/

https://koalastothemax.com/

and the fact that i have to manually embed the links lol

something i started:

playing placid plastic duck simulator (100% recommend btw!!)
reading chosen for his desert throne by caitlin crews (definitely gonna be offensive in many ways)

something i finished:

reading no other man by shannon drake

(it was fine i guess. it's more misogynistic than it is racist, which surprised me. there's something about the problematic books that just grabs me. i think it helps me overcome my perfectionism & fight the little guy in my mind that's always trying to cancel me--a testament to having been raised on tumblr, right?)

let me know how your week was in the comments! you can copy one (or some) of these prompts or just summarize your week to me. thank you for reading, if you did! (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶ i'll be back next week to do it all again lol

interest check: sticker exchange

hello hello!! would anyone be interested if i organized a sticker exchange? ₍ᐢ ̥ ̞ ̥ᐢ₎ ♥ basically i'd make a google form so people can sign up, and participants would be put in groups of 2-4 people (according to their preference) to exchange stickers with. they could be any kind of stickers--sheets, waterproof vinyl, lazer cut, puffy, etc--and preferences and amounts would be shared with your partner/group before the exchange. 

for example: i'd get assigned a group, and then we'd exchange addresses. we agree that we'll send each other around eight sticker sheets each, and that they should all be flat (not puffy) stickers. each of us will go to stores in our neighbourhood and buy sticker sheets that fit each other's preferences, and then mail them to each other with little thank you cards. if i were in a group of 4, i'd get three of each sheet (one for each of my three group members) and send the same stickers out to everyone. 

please comment on this post or send me a message if you're interested, and i'll send you the link for the google form! feel free to share this post with your friends if you think they'd be interested, and let me know if you've heard of any communities i could post this in, that way it can reach more people ٩(ˊᗜˋ )و thanks for reading!

2022-10-05 UPDATE: i made the google form! please sign up before december 12th because that's when i'll be sending out all the emails. thank you for showing interest!
