Daily Journals

This page features the daily journals I have kept throughout this project. Each one, here, is the typed version of what I originally wrote that day. I have also included some keywords at the bottom of each entry, so you can easily see what they mention as well as what I often talked about in my journals. You can see these keywords by clicking on the journal entry.

Groceries were a mess this morning! I had two pickups from two stores. One was missing all of my frozen foods and gave me two bags from someone else's order. I had to go back and pick up my missing bags, but I did get to keep the other bags which was cool. My second pickup adventure involved half of my items being substituted and I had no idea. Stress. After all of that, I took some time to relax, shower, and work on homework. For dinner, Riley and I made a seafood boil which was really stressful but super fun to make. It tasted super good! Then I did some more homework, and Riley and I hid plastic Easter eggs for each other. It was a fun few moments that made us both laugh. Now, we are watching a movie. My plan is to read before I go to sleep tonight.

This morning I got some homework done and relaxed before my classes. I did have a meeting with my advisor for the Honors College, which went really well. My classes were good, but I have a big presentation coming up that I am super worried about. So that is stressful. This evening, Riley and I went to Walmart to look around, and get out of the house. When we got home, we decided to go on a walk. The weather is starting to get better, but the wind wasn't great. Overall, the walk was a lot of fun! We listened to music and talked about our days. We walked all the way to the stadium and back to our apartment. My shoes were covered in mud and I was freezing by the time we got home, but I'm so glad we went. As the weather gets better, I want to start taking more walks; although, they will be shorter than tonight's because I'm exhausted. We are currently waiting for our chocolate chip cookies to bake then we are going to watch a movie. Oh! I've also been reading all day, whenever I could. I feel really good about it!

One month down! It feels great! I wrote some poetry this morning, which I added to the website. My class and work went well, I got a bunch of homework done, and I spent some time with my mom today. She is moving on Friday, so I'm trying to get some extra time with her before then. She sent me home with juice, frozen fruit, dinner rolls, cooking spray, and celery salt so she could clean out her kitchen. Riley made dinner tonight while I was working on homework then we watched some videos while we ate together. After dinner, I did TWO full Zumba videos, and it felt super good after the soreness and pain subsided. Then I read, worked on my website, and showered. I've been listening to happy music while I shower, which puts me in a good mood. Riley and I are going to watch some of our show before bed. This has been an overwhelming but unbelievably exciting month. I changed my project medium, I extended my social media hiatus through the semester, and I've readjusted my purpose about 6 times. Overall, it has been a great experience thus far.
